Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports, deep tissue, and aromatherapy. Swedish Massage uses firm but gentle pressure to improve circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility, and create relaxation. Swedish Massage employs five different movements-long, gliding strokes; kneading of individual muscles; friction; hacking or tapping; and vibration.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy

This therapy stimulates the flow of lymphatic fluid, helping the lymphatic system to rid itself of excess fluids and toxins as well as delivering nutrients to tissue.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage:

1. Relieves fluid congestion.
2. May strengthen the immune system.
3. Helps the body rid itself of toxins, which improves overall well being.
4. Works on the nervous system, which can reduce blood pressure, thereby reducing stress and improving sleep patterns.

Hot Stone Therapy

This is a therapy that uses hot, smooth and round volcanic stones. The purpose is to melt away knots, and to relieve stress, pain, and tension. It also restores balance and harmony.

Myofascial Therapy

Myofascial Release is a highly interactive stretching technique that requires feedback from the patient’s body to determine the direction, force, and duration of the stretch and to facilitate maximum relaxation of the tense tissues. All organs of the body are covered by fascia down to the individual myofibrils, therefore all muscle stretching is actually stretching of myofascial units. The goal of treatment using Myofascial Release is to facilitate the most efficient posture and movement patterns the patient can maintain.

Cranial Sacral Therapy

This therapy is a soft and non-invasive technique that has a direct effect on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It helps relieve nerve and stress problems.
