MASSAGE THERAPY

---

Swedish massage is a gentle full-body massage that’s great for people who are new to massage, want to release tension, desire gentle touch. It can help release muscle knots, stress, reduce anxiety, and is a great choice for relaxation. The massage therapist will use a combination of long flowing strokes, deep circular motions and passive joint movement techniques.

Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish Massage. It’s a good option if you have muscle problems, such as soreness, injury, imbalance, tightness, chronic muscle pain. 

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

While deep tissue may be more intense, you shouldn’t feel any pain or soreness.

If you have been in a car accident, your body has experienced trauma. Even if you don't experience a significant injury an accident is shocking and traumatic. Common car accident injuries include whiplash, concussion and shoulder, back and knee pain. Massage can improve your circulation, help you relax and give you an opportunity to recover your emotional balance.  Massage increases circulation, healing and alleviates pain. Visit our Car Accident Recovery tab above for more information on how you can receive the care and help you need at no cost to you.

Sports massage is a good option if you have a repetitive use injury to a muscle, such as what you may 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 them. Sports massage can increase flexibility, improve athletic performance, relieve pain, reduce anxiety and release muscle tension.

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

Prenatal massage can be a safe way for women to get a massage during pregnancy. It can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension. 

Prenatal massage uses mild pressure similar to Swedish massage. The therapist will focus on areas such as your lower back, hips, and legs. During the massage, you’ll either lie on your side or on a specially designed table with a cutout for your belly (whichever you are more comfortable with). 

Because all bodies/pregnancies are different, please consult your doctor before receiving massage to ensure it is the best option for you!

Relaxing massage is all about helping your body and mind relax.  Relaxing massage is a great option for those who need to reduce stress, relieve anxiety or for those wanting to maintain optimal health.
