A Spectrum of Unique Treatment Modalities
Ashiatsu
During an Ashiatsu massage, therapists use their bare feet to deliver deep compression, long gliding strokes, and/or assisted stretching. Ashiatsu isn’t just a deep tissue barefoot massage technique; it’s the deepest. The therapists use their feet and controlled weight to apply the massage. In a word, it is a compression massage. For the most part, the method utilizes gravity to assist the massage therapist in giving a consistently deep and relaxing massage.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils derived from aromatic plants to enhance relaxation and healing. These oils are carefully selected based on their specific properties and scents, which can vary from floral and citrusy to herbal and woody.
Myofacial Release
Myofascial release therapy, is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on relieving pain and tension in the myofascial tissues. These tissues are the thick, connective tissues that support and surround your muscles throughout your body. During a myofascial release session, a therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure to areas where the fascia is tight or restricted. This helps to stretch and loosen the fascia, improving movement and reducing pain.
Pre & Postnatal Massage
Prenatal massages are adapted for the anatomical changes you go through during pregnancy. Changes in your body and posture are accommodated by having the client lay on their side with the support of pillows and cushions.
