MASSAGE MENU


SWEDISH
This is the classic oil-based massage designed to relieve stress, unwind tension and enliven states of peace and well-being. The session systemically works each area of the body with a succession of flowing, wringing, kneading, vibrating and static pressure techniques, moving from gentle to deep contact. Swedish massage is highly effective in addressing today’s most common ailments: depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, weakened immune system, backaches, neck and shoulder pain, hypertension, tendonitis and assorted stress related ailments.

DEEP TISSUE
Deep Tissue focuses on releasing long held tension (“knots”). An effective session will penetrate deep into the musculature and release stubborn tightness and relieve soreness.

SPORTS MASSAGE
Cross-fiber friction, trigger point pressure & stretches break up adhesions and enhance muscle performance. Addresses injuries common to competitive athletes. Ideal for pre- and post-event.


LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
This modality assists the lymph system in processing and removing toxins. Very soothing and gentle, it helps stimulate the flow of lymph from body tissue. It is a powerful technique for supporting a speedy recovery from illness.

POLARITY
Polarity therapy focuses on the electromagnetic field of the body. Discomfort is eased as the practitioner balances energy pulses. Subtle work that has powerful effects. (We also offer Reiki & other Energy work.)

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Tight connective tissue can pull the body into misalignment con-tributing to neck & back pain, etc. This work releases constriction by lengthening connective tissue and is extremely successful in helping to relieve chronic pain patterns.

PRE- & POST-NATAL MASSAGE
Massage can assist the body in staying flexible and pain free during the changes of pregnancy, reducing the stress on mother & infant. After birth the tissues can be supported in restoring balance and resiliency.

SHIATSU
Developed in ancient Japan, Shiatsu utilizes pressure on the acupuncture points to balance the body’s energy and promote good health. The client can be clothed, because this style uses no oil.


CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Uses subtle movements on the head, sacrum, and along the spinal column to bring balance to the cerebrospinal fluid and the body-mind. This deeply profound work supports the integration of the nervous system and endocrine system.

SEATED MASSAGE
Uses compression, kneading & acupressure to ease muscle tension. Sessions can be an invigorating pick-me up or restorative & relaxing. Client remains fully clothed. Perfect for office sessions.

REFLEXOLOGY
A fully clothed session applying static pressure to feet and hands to encourage the flow of blood, lymph and energy in the corresponding “reflexive” areas of the body.

Any of these styles may be combined during a session to suit your needs.
