Our Techniques
This Massage Therapy technique involves treating the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. This technique is beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
This technique is similar to Swedish massage, but with deeper pressure that is considered beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus of this technique is on the deepest layer of the muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia.
A Massage Therapy technique involving the stretching and moving of tissues with the hands to release inappropriate adhesions within the structure and reorganize the chaotic fibers into a healthy scar, free from restrictions. Successful release often leads to a postural correction, greater endurance, ease in strength training, and relief from pain.
Massage Therapy technique is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. The results and benefits of this massage therapy technique are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain.
This technique utilizes the applications of heat or ice to improve overall health and aid in pain management.
Massage Therapy technique whereby a vacuum is created in a cup, drawing the skin (fascia) up into the cup and separating the layers of fascia. This effect draws new blood to the area as the new blood rushes to the individual levels and it helps to remove stagnation that may have been present. Additional benefits can include, helping increase circulation, decrease fascia restrictions, increase the range of motion, and relieves muscle spasms that often cause pain.
Can be the cause of pain and spasms in areas of the head, neck, and jaw. Symptoms associated with TMJ Dysfunction can include headaches, earaches, tinnitus, audible sounds when chewing, and a decrease in mobility of the jaw while eating or speaking. Some of the causes of TMJ Dysfunction include whiplash, bruxism (jaw clenching and grinding the teeth), stress, trigger points, and postural dysfunction. Massage Therapy techniques are used to treat the associated causes which in turn will aid in decreasing symptoms associated with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction.
GuaSha is an effective way to release fascial restrictions and restore flow and function to the tissues. The Guasha practitioner exerts force on specific body parts of trigger points with hand tools or hand manipulation to treat hypertonicity of the fascia and myofascial trigger points with associated build-up of toxins in the soft tissue.
