Available Massages

 

Table Massage

Clinical type massage where multiple techniques are incorporated in order to relieve pain, increase range of motion, improve blood flow, improve your body’s ability to relax and function on all levels.  No oils, lotions or creams are used during the massage.  CBD oil is available upon request for a small upcharge on targeted areas.  You can remain clothed if you prefer.  Massage length can be anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Thai Massage

Traditional Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor.  The client remains clothed preferably wearing loose comfortable apparel.  It combines broad targeted acupressure, deep breathing, stretching and assisted yoga poses.  It’s great for relaxation.  Massage length is either  75, 90 or 120 minutes.

Pre-Natal Massage

Massage for expectant mothers in any term.  I have a couple of options depending on client’s preference.  Part of massage can be performed in a massage chair to really work the tension out of the neck, shoulders and upper, lower and mid back.  After being on the chair we can transition to the table to work the hips, glutes and legs.  The other option is to do the entire massage on the table.  When on the table the client would be in side lying position with several pillows for support and comfort.  Massage length anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Neck, Shoulder, and Face Massage

This 25 minute massage is to address these three specific areas.  Great for headaches, loosen up a stiff neck or just relax.  Massage is only $30 and client remains clothed.

Chair Massage

If you’re more comfortable getting massaged in a chair instead of on a table this option is available to you.  You can get anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour with this massage.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being. It is a type of myofascial release.

Fascia Scraping

Fascia Scraping uses a variety of tools in different shapes and sizes to “scrape” against the area of the dysfunction in the muscle. This helps to break up and reduce the restrictions in your muscle. During scraping, your massage therapist will use a tool to gently “scrape” back and forth over any muscle tissue where you may be experiencing issues. Scraping can be beneficial to patients with scar tissue, fascia restrictions, strained muscles and more.
