Deep Tissue Massage addresses a variety of orthopedic conditions including trigger points (see below), muscle tightness and inbalances, pain, and limited range of motion. Despite the name of this modality, pressure is applied only to the depth perceived to be therapeutic and clients generally report deep relaxation benefits.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points--small contraction "knots" in muscle tissue--are responsible for roughly 75% of physical pain and are involved, at least in part, in virtually every pain problem including frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, low back pain, sports and repetitive strain injuries, accident trauma and more. Applied techniques include direct pressure, friction, and kneading of tender muscles. This technique is often combined with Deep Tissue Massage but can treatment can be applied through loose, comfortable clothing as well.

Swedish Relaxation Massage enhances circulation and digestive processes, relieves tension and fatigue in muscles, releases toxins, and promotes the body's natural healing process.
Reiki (pronounced "RAY-key") is Japanese for "Universal Life Force Energy." This gentle,
therapeutic touch promotes the healing process by transferring
electromagnetic energy, clearing blockages, and enhancing deep
relaxation. Session may incorporate crystals as needed. Full-hour sessions are available, or Reiki may be incorporated with other modalities.
Barefoot Sports Massage is a great way to get deep relief for tight, aching muscles. The client lays comfortably on a mat while pressure is applied by the feet to eliminate trigger points and chronic tension. This deeply relaxing technique is great for athletes! Please wear loose,comfortable clothing to your session.
