Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the most common form of massage therapy. The tissues are massaged using long gliding and kneading strokes to increase return blood and lymph flow, increases relaxation and decreases discomfort.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage involves the use of strokes that penetrate deeply into muscle layers to alleviate discomfort. The therapist will use fingertips, knuckles, forearms and elbows to increase depth, working slowing to allow the muscle to welcome the deeper strokes.

Orthopedic Massage

Orthopedic Massage focuses on soft tissue pain or injury involving muscle, joints, and ligaments. The therapist will use orthopedic assessments to determine condition and bring about balance between opposing muscle groups that are causing discomfort and limited range of motion, returning the body to a more optimal functioning.

Medical Massage

Medical massage therapy is similar to orthopedic, but usually is prescribed by a medical doctor. Improvement to health and well-being without the negative side effects of pain medication.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage involves applying light repetitive strokes without lotion to increase the movement of the lymphatic system to restore the body’s’ immune system by removing access fluid that causes edema and discomfort. Particularly important in post-surgery recovery.

Bamboo Stick Massage
