Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is designed to create a deep state of relaxation and general well-being.  It is slow and rhythmic and focuses on the whole individual (mind & body).

             

 

Clinical Massage (Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy)

This method uses slow strokes, direct pressure and/or friction.  As the name implies, the procedure is applied with greater pressure and to deeper layers of muscles than Swedish Massage.  This technique focuses on trigger points, pain relief & muscle recovery.

             

Massage Cupping Therapy

Massage Cupping Therapy is a modern adaptation of the ancient art of Chinese Cupping.  Through several thousand years of clinical experience, therapeutic applications of cupping have been documented.  The action on the nervous system is sedating and the clients will often descend into a profound state of relaxation.  Fire is introduced into the cup, then the flame is removed and the cup is placed on the skin to produce a vacuum.  The movement may be long and draining or circular and stimulating for stubborn knots and areas of rigid tissue.  The skin will turn red with strong cupping, a sign that the circulation has been brought to the surface.  Applying liniments immediately after the cupping session will pull the product deep into the tissue.
