We incorporate a variety of massage techniques into all our massages. Each therapist has their own "tool box" they use for each session and tailor the massage to your specific needs. Here's a list of our most common techniques. Deep Tissue Massage — a technique used to address issues occurring in the deeper soft tissue and fascial layers of the body.
Scarring, adhesions, and muscular spasm are all treated with the goal of restoring normal function and motion to the areas affected.
Deep tissue does not necessarily mean deep pressure, but rather a concentrated, specific manner of working in the deeper layers of the body to allow for more permanent changes to occur.
Because this technique is very specific, some discomfort may be experienced for up to hours following a session. We recommend that the client drink plenty of water following a session to expedite the elimination of metabolic wastes from the body and therefore speed recovery. Sports Massage — The focus of this technique is to improve circulation, flexibility and range of motion, decrease recovery time from training, prevent injury, and improve muscular efficiency, which will result in better performance.
Sports Massage treatments are often used during training and before and after a particular event to prevent injury and improve performance and recovery. The therapist includes the use of compression, light and fast strokes and then stretching of the limbs. 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.
