Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the use of massage strokes and movements to promote better health. Most people associate "massage" with this technique. We offer Swedish massage in increments of 30 minutes. One half-hour massage concentrates on either the back and neck or extremities (hands/feet). Additional time permits the therapist to concentrate more intently on the areas where you need work, or provide an all-over full-body massage.

Athletic Massage

Athletic (sports) massage may be categorized in several ways: Corrective, Performance-enhancing, Pre-event, Post-event, and Injury rehabilitation.

Corrective:Your therapist will evaluate postural imbalances and recommend stretches and exercise to correct. Corrective measures can alleviate pain and increase performance.

Performance-enhancing: Your therapist will specifically address the musculature associated with your event, evaluating flexibility and opposing muscles to give the client optimum performance for each event.

Pre-Event: In the hours prior to event, your therapist will provide a vigorous, muscle-stimulating massage to wake-up and energize for the event.

Post-Event: Immediately after an event, therapist will calm muscles and restore blood circulation to stressed muscle tissue. Therapist will evaluate for strains, sprains or other injury.

Injury Rehabilitation:This is our specialty. We evaluate and assess painful muscle injuries. Utilizing muscles release techniques, we restore normal muscle belly resting length, mobilize scar tissues in muscles, ligaments and tendons, and recommend exercises to strengthen and realign damaged tissues.
