There are many different types of therapeutic massage. Each massage modality has its own focus and benefit. One of the assets of massage is that all modalities can be mixed and merged into a single, customized session. Most often your massage therapist will use a number of different techniques within a single session. Before each treatment, you and your therapist will discuss areas of discomfort and focus and determine the best course of treatment.
At Harmony Massage our intention it to provide you with the highest quality care and a variety of bodywork choices.
We hope your session will serve as a perfect time of respite in your day. Gift Certificates are available for purchase.

Swedish Massage β see photo gallery Swedish is the most common form of massage today. Swedish employs a series of long, soothing, gliding massage strokes, kneading of the muscles, and vibrational taps to improve blood circulation, ease muscle tension, and improve flexibility. During your massage, you will be comfortably and fully covered, other than the area of focus.
For example, when your leg is worked on, it will be uncovered and the sheet will be tucked in at your thigh. Draping is required and is used to provide warmth, comfort, and modesty. At Harmony Massage, we use all organic, all natural massage oil, lotion, and cream. Deep Tissue Massage β see photo gallery Deep tissue massage works with layers of tissue in the body to relax, lengthen and release longstanding holding patterns. It focuses less on relaxation and more on structural integration and the release of restrictions in the muscles and connective tissue.
