Therapeutic / Pain Relief Treatments

Our licensed advanced therapists use specialized techniques to address areas of injury or

dysfunction. These sessions are more interactive and specific to our clients needs.

​

​
Lymphatic Draining Massage


Light, slower, repetitive strokes aid to promote the circulation of

lymph and help rid the body of toxins and waste materials. Assists in

purifying and regenerating tissues while normalizing organ function

and enhancing ones metabolism and immune system.


​
Neuromuscular Therapy

​ This St. John’s method utilizes evaluation of postural distortions,

biomechanical dysfunction and soft tissue patterns to allow the therapist

to develop a program of individual therapy. Locating ischemic areas in

soft tissue determines trigger points, nerve compression and/or entrapment

possibilities. The tone is then normalized to allow the central nervous

​and musculoskeletal systems to balance. Excellent for pain relief.



Craniosacral Therapy

Your body's structure absorbs the daily wears and tears of life as well as

physical and emotional injury.  As this tension increases and compensatory

patterns widen, the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) can be

affected limiting the body's physiological production.  Craniosacral Therapy

is a light touch technique that releases fascial restrictions deep within the

body to restore overall function.  A CST practitioner will  evaluate the entire

body, monitor the rhythm of cerebral spinal fluid flowing  around your

central nervous, work with the body to locate weakness and identify deeper

sources of  dysfunction.  A CST session creates full body relaxation while the

practitioner works with your tissues to facilitate changes to occur. Craniosacral

therapy can be beneficial alone or integrated with massage
.


Pre-and Peri-Natal Massage 

During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes many postural and physiological

changes. Massage will help the mother's body to adapt to these changes by

improving circulation and therefore increasing oxygenation of the soft tissues,

reducing inflammation and swelling, relieving muscle aches and joint pain. Also

massage will help to regulate hormones, promote better sleep and reduce

headaches due to muscle tension and sinus congestion. The massage therapist

also lends emotional support reducing anxiety of physical and life changes and

the impending birth of baby. Studies have shown regular massage during

pregnancy can improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Your therapist will

include a variety of techniques including massage, Craniosacral Therapy,

reflexology, and stretching to reduce tension within the abdomen and low back

and to help maintain the optimal position of the uterus for birth. Your massage

therapist will  also practice belly mapping skills with you and discuss positions

to practice at  home now and before labor begins. Postpartum massage helps

to return the  uterus to its pre-pregnancy size, alleviate symptoms of depression,

increase milk  production and regulate the functions of the gastrointestinal tract.

If a cesarean birth is experienced gynovisceral manipulation will help mobilize

scar tissue after the surgical site is healed. Your massage therapist will also help

the new mother learn basic techniques for massaging her new baby.



Fertility Massage

Fertility Massage is a series of massage techniques designed for both

women and men to support the couple's ability to conceive naturally or

with assisted reproductive technology. The techniques applied remove

congestion, lessen muscular tension in the abdomen and pelvis which

increases the function of reproductive organs, encourage sufficient

hormone release and regulate a natural menstrual cycle in the woman.

Secondary effects include reducing the stress of "trying", increase

emotional well-being and increase digestion for better delivery and

usage of nutrients. If you have not begun an artificial fertility protocol,

your therapist will use Mercier Therapy, gynovisceral manipulation.

This therapy is a gentle and less invasive approach to fertility issues.

This six session treatment is designed to restore circulation to the

reproductive organs, break up scar tissue after surgical procedures and

decrease muscle tensions to improve structural integrity of the pelvis.

If you have already began an artificial fertilization protocol the techniques

provided including massage, reflexology, and craniosacral therapy are

intended to support and encourage the body's response to the medical

​treatments, reduce discomfort and increase emotional well-being.


TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Therapy

Specialized treatment of jaw, face, head, ears, mouth (with gloved hands) and

neck that addresses TMJ dysfunction. Some symptoms include but are not

limited to: jaw pain and or clicking, headaches, neck and shoulder pain,

earaches, limited ability to open mouth, facial pain, and deviation of lower jaw.



​Parkinson’s disease and Therapeutic Massage


Parkinson’s disease typically causes muscle stiffness and rigidity. Our therapist,

in communication with the client, addresses the areas of concern employing

Swedish massage and Neuromuscular trigger point techniques. Although

massage therapy does not cure Parkinson’s disease, it most definitely affects

the symptoms in a positive way. As long as the client has sensation in the areas

being worked on, massage is a safe and effective alternative therapy.



Myofascial Release

John F Barnes Myofascial Release is a safe, gentle and whole body approach.

Trauma, inflammatory responses and surgical procedures create myofascial

restrictions that produce pain on sensitive structures. MFR treats the

"straight jacket" that is the pressure of the fascial system on body structures,

eliminating the pressure that cause the symptoms.




Massage for Muscular Dystrophy


The goal of all therapeutic massage is to ease muscle pain and dysfunction,

relax hypercontracted muscle tissue and aid in restoring balance. This process

fits the protocol for muscular ​dystrophy symptoms perfectly while never

intended to replace or supersede a physician’s advice, adding regular massage

therapy sessions to a MD care plan will help reduce spasms, ease

chronically tightened muscles and improve overall quality of life.



Massage for Multiple Sclerosis


General massage application to relax the body and reduce stress. Though

the medical benefits of massage therapy are difficult to quantify, many

doctors recommend therapeutic massage as a stress-buster which aids

in reducing the symptoms of MS.



Sports Massage

Sports massage focuses on muscles relevant to the event. For athletes

who train continuously, the goal is to enhance endurance, lessen the

chance of injury and shorten the time needed to recover from an event.

This therapy is beneficial to all age groups involved in regular exercise

routines and intended for but not limited to: recreational, travel, high

​school or college, semi and professional level programs.




Recovery Cocoon Therapy

Anterior and posterior precious hot stone therapy that utilizes a mat that

emits negative ion therapy, infrared heat therapy, PEMF therapy and

photon light therapy. All natural therapies from our outdoor environment

are available; however, we as a society are becoming more deficient.
