Massage Descriptions

Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that's mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. We begin by melting fascia and skin rolling.

Pre-Natal

Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

Raindrop
Technique

Young Living's Raindrop Technique combines unique, targeted massage and energy approaches with pure, authentic essential oils. The essential oils are applied to the spine and feet for a deeply harmonizing, rejuvenating, and relaxing experience. They are dispensed in small, rain-like drops about 6 inches above the body.

Sports

Sports massage is manual manipulation of the muscles geared specifically toward helping people who have physically demanding lifestyles and/or hobbies. This kind of therapeutic massage considers the impact of certain activities on specific joints, muscle groups, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue groups. *This massage is clothed and clients need to wear flexible clothing (yoga pants, basketball shorts, t-shirt, etc).

Swedish

The Swedish massage is one of the most common types of massages you can get. It is performed to energize the body and improve overall health. This type of massage involves actions like percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling. Massage oil or lotion is used to protect the skin from friction.

Trigger Point Therapy

This form of trigger point uses oscillation to stir fascia in a multi-directional motion and pinpoints the trigger points in the muscle fibers. Good for people with long time pain or repetitive use injuries. *This massage is clothed and clients need to wear flexible clothing (yoga pants, basketball shorts, t-shirt, etc).

Tui-Na

In tui na massage, the muscles and tendons are massaged with the help of hands, and an acupressure technique is applied to directly affect the flow of qi at different acupressure points of the body, thus facilitating the healing process.

You will pick treatment areas (neck, shoulder/wrist, knee, low back, hip, face) that are in 15 minute intervals each section. *This massage is clothed and clients need to wear flexible clothing (yoga pants, basketball shorts, t-shirt, etc).

Craniosacral 

A system of alternative medicine intended to relieve pain and tension by gentle manipulations of the skull regarded as harmonizing with a natural rhythm in the central nervous system. The pressure is no more than the weight of a nickel. 

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels. *Only affected areas will be drained.
