Swedish massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with various strokes such as gliding, rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. This bodywork has many benefits, including relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, decreased muscle toxins, increased oxygen levels in the blood, and greater flexibility.

During the session, the therapist may utilize various stretching techniques while on the table, and/or suggest simple stretches for you to do at home.

The benefits of stretching include an increase in; 
functional range of motion,
flexibility.
Ease of movement.

Passive stretching = therapist-assisted Range of motion movement while muscles are at rest.

Activated stretching = therapist-assisted stretching utilizing the resistance of a specific muscle while stretching another, or elongating/stretching a muscle while it is engaged and actively working.

The therapist may also recommend specific home care stretches that utilize simple tools found in most homes, that will help you safely stretch problem areas between appointments.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. It is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. We use Deep Tissue Massage to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to ensure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is quite common after the treatment. It’s best to drink plenty of water to help your body flush and remove toxins released during your session.

Trigger Point Therapy is a type of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your muscles. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the body’s energy pathways. These "knots" build up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, or emotional stress. During a session, we apply focused pressure through a variety of techniques to release your trigger points. This process can be rather painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.

Myofascial Release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles, and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
