Deep Tissue Massage

Relief your body tension

Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage. It’s a good option if you have chronic muscle problems, such as soreness or imbalance. It can help relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, and anxiety.

​

During a deep tissue massage, I will use slow strokes and deep finger pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues.  

​

This is a massage for up to 120 minutes

Trigger Point Therapy

Manage chronic pain

Trigger point therapy is best suited for people who have injuries, chronic pain, or a specific issue or condition.

Sometimes areas of tightness in the muscle tissues, known as trigger points, can cause pain in other parts of the body. By focusing on relieving trigger points, this type of massage can reduce pain.

​

​

Trigger point massage uses broad, flowing strokes that are gentle and relaxing combined with stronger, deeper pressure. The massage will include work on your entire body, though your therapist will focus on specific areas of your body that need to be released.

You can wear lightweight clothing for the massage or be fully or partially undressed.

This type of massage will usually last for 60-90 minutes.

Sports Massage

Injury from repetitive muscle use

Sports massage is a good option if you have a repetitive use injury to a muscle, such as what you get from playing a sport.

It’s also a good option if you’re prone to injuries because it can be used to help prevent sports injuries.

You may also use sports massage to increase flexibility and performance. Additionally, sports massage can be used to relieve pain, anxiety, and muscle tension.

​

A sports massage can be done as a full-body massage or the massage therapist may focus on the parts of the body that need the most attention. Deep pressure may be alternated with soothing strokes depending on your needs.

You can have a sports massage while clothed or naked. If you prefer to wear clothing, make sure it’s thin, loose, and allows the therapist access to your muscles. Loose shorts and a tank top are options.

​

The recommended duration is 60–90 minutes.

Reflexology

Restore natural energy levels

Reflexology is best for people who are looking to relax or restore their natural energy levels. It’s also a good option if you aren’t comfortable being touched on your entire body.

Reflexology uses gentle to firm pressure on different pressure points of the feet or hands. You can wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to your legs and hands (forearms).

​

A reflexology massage lasts for 30–60 minutes.

Anti-stress Massage

For relaxation or managing minor pain

Anti-stress massage is a gentle type of full-body massage that’s ideal for people who:

• are new to massage

• have a lot of tension

• are sensitive to touch

It can help release muscle knots, and it’s also a good choice for when you want to fully relax during a massage.

​

For this massage, you’ll remove your clothes, though you may choose to keep your underwear on. You’ll be covered with a sheet while lying on the massage table. The massage therapist will move the sheet to uncover areas that they are actively working on.

​

​

The massage therapist will use a combination of:

• kneading

• long, flowing strokes

• deep circular motions

• tapping

• passive joint movement techniques

​

Usually, this massage will last for 60–90 minutes.
