Therapeutic / Pain Relief Treatments

Our licensed advanced therapist 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. 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. Your massage therapist will also help the

new mother learn basic techniques for massaging her new baby.



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.



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.



Massage for Muscular Dystrophy


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

dysfunction, relax hyper contracted 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.
