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. 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 pads that emit negative
ion therapy, infrared heat therapy, PEMF therapy and photon light therapy.
All natural therapies are available in our outdoor environment but we as a
society are becoming more depraved. Available in 10, 20 or 30 minute sessions.
