Massage Therapy
Performed by a licensed massage therapist, massage therapy involves using different pressures, movements and techniques to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues in the body. With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness.
Specialty Massage Therapy
Hot Stone Massage Therapy:
A therapeutic treatment utilizing the application of hot basalt river stones of varying sizes to key points on the body to create improved circulatory flow. This allows for a more intense manipulation of the tissues than with traditional massage. We allow each therapist to be creative in the individual styles of this type of massage.
Prenatal Massage Therapy:
Prenatal massage promotes relaxation, soothes the nerves and relieves strained back and leg muscles in expectant mothers. Carrying a baby inside you changes your center of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, so that your pelvic joints are less stable, and changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Add to that the extra weight you're carrying and you may find you've got an aching lower back. A prenatal massage helps alleviate those aches and pains. Pregnancy massage is especially beneficial in the second and third trimesters.
Cupping Massage Therapy:
Massage cupping gives you the same effects of a deep tissue massage but by way of reverse pressure. It can be used to treat ailments like stiff muscles, stress, migraines, fatigue and exhaustion, and back and neck pain. Muscles that have been injured, undergone trauma or exertion accumulate lactic acid and other toxins. Massage cupping can be used to drain these toxins so the muscles can heal. In addition, the blood carries away the accumulation of toxins, dead cells, and other debris that may be hampering healing and causing pain. As a result of better blood circulation, the tensed muscles and stiff tissues relax. Not only is the discomfort alleviated but the patients also sense relaxation that helps lower stress levels and anxiety.
Reiki Treatment:
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and around you. It works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. As Reiki flows through a sick or unhealthy area, it breaks up and washes away any negative thoughts or feelings lodged in the unconscious mind/body thus allowing a normal healthy flow of Ki (energy) to resume. As this happens, the unhealthy physical organs and tissues become properly nourished. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirits creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feeling of peace, security and wellbeing.
Shiatsu Massage Therapy:
Shiatsu mean “finger pressure” in Japanese. For Shiatsu massage, the therapist uses varied, rhythmic pressure on certain precise points of the body. These points are called acupressure points, and they are believed to be important for the flow of the body’s vital energy, called chi. Shiatsu is a non-invasive therapy that may help reduce stress and contribute to overall wellbeing. Shiatsu can be used in the treatment of a wide range of internal, musculoskeletal, and emotional conditions. It is thought to reduce muscle stiffness, stimulate the skin, aid digestion, and influence the nervous system. Shiatsu is used to treat a wide range of chronic conditions such as headaches, PMS, digestive disorders, fatigue, insomnia, fibromyalgia, stress, anxiety and musculoskeletal pain including low back, neck and joint pain.
Graston Technique Therapy:
The non-invasive technique uses specifically designed stainless steel instruments to help the clinician identify and treat areas soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. As the instruments are moved over the affected area and come in contact with the adhesions, they help break up scar tissue and fascial restrictions. In time, this process will reduce or eliminate the adhered fibres, restoring range of motion and eliminating the associated pain. It will help transform your soft tissue injury into healthy functioning tissue.
Ear Reflexology
Ear Reflexology is the stimulation of the auricle of the external ear for health conditions in other parts of the body. It is an effective method of non invasive treatment. In the 1960's, Dr. Paul Nogier from Lyon France, perfected an innovative technique mapping out the ear as an inverted fetus. Unlike Chinese acupuncture, he made it possible to locate a specific point on the ear with the help of the pulse reaction on the wrist. Stimulating that 'ear point' allow the natural flow of energy to follow its path and alleviate the pain in the micro-body. Ear Reflexology treatment can help remove pain, treat allergies, bring relief to toxic scars (from Caesarian sections or other kinds of surgeries), deal with disorders (emotional, mental and physical), and most health problems originating in malfunction or after acciden
