The most popular massage, this technique incorporates long gliding strokes with small amounts of pressure. Relaxation, improved circulation and stress reduction are just a few benefits.

Aromatherapy Massage
Essential oils can be blended with carrier oil or lotion specifically for you to enhance your mood and relax or energize you.

Sports Massage
For the athlete, this massage is for pre-event, post-event, during training and to expedite rehabilitation after injury. It also increases flexibility, reducing adhesions and some degree of scar tissue formations while providing overall muscle balance. This massage maintains a more consistent and higher level of training and performance.

Neuromuscular Therapy
Also called trigger point myotherapy, this massage consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on areas of muscle contractions due to spasm. Soft tissue injuries including muscle strains can be treated decreasing your pain and balancing your central nervous system. Your tight muscles should remain noticeably more relaxed for four to fourteen days following treatment, depending on stress, activity level, and severity of pain prior to beginning massage therapy.

Myoskeletal Alignment Technique
Treat chronic soft tissue pain with this deep tissue therapeutic approach. Some benefits include decreasing pain, increasing flexibility and improving posture by mobilizing joints through muscle manipulation. Your therapist will assess painful neck, low back, shoulder, arm, and hand conditions looking for A.R.T. (Asyemmetry, Restriction of motion and Tissue texure abnormality). Familiarity with muscle balance strain problems including upper and lower crossed syndromes allows your therapist to go directly to the source of the postural problem, test for A.R.T. and correct the dysfunction. Can be integrated into your massage or enjoy a full M.A.T. session (wear shorts).

Active Isolated Stretching
Improve flexibility and help alleviate problems associated with many over-use injuries such as carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, lower back problems, and other ailments resulting from a lack of flexibility. Each technique involves the method of holding each stretch for only two seconds. This method of stretching is also known to work with the body's natural physiological makeup to improve circulation and increase the elasticity of muscles, joints and fascia. A.I.S. allows the body to repair itself and also to prepare for daily activity. Can be integrated into your massage or enjoy a full A.I.S. session (wear shorts).

Hot Stone Massage
This special treatment combines traditional massage techniques with ancient Ayurvedic healing principals. Ocean tumbled stones are warmed in water scented with essential oils and then placed along the chakras of the body encouraging groundedness and balance.
