Massage has many health benefits for people in all stages of life from newborns through elderly adults. Therapeutic touch and bodywork can help decrease muscle tension and pain, improve circulation of lymphatic fluid, soothe the nervous system, improve join mobility and promote a sense of Well-being and better sleep, decrease stress and anxiety, shorten healing time from injury or surgery, decrease build up of scar tissue, and decrease swelling.
Massage is used in a variety of settings from massage therapy practices,
spas, and resorts, to the NICU, labor and delivery, ER, chiropractic offices, physical and occupation therapy, to name a few. Massage is even used with animals.
Our therapeutic massage services are always centered around client needs and goals. We like to provide a combination of “Work” on areas of pain and discomfort, with some relaxation techniques. If we are able to help the body relax, then it will usually be more receptive to the work that needs to be done. Some of the tools or techniques that we may use during the session may include hot stones or towels, cold stones, cupping, fascia tools, red light and infrared light, trigger point, stretching, and deep pressure. Never be
afraid to give your therapist feedback during your session. We have yet to develop mind reading skills, so help us help you!
