Therapy Descriptions
One of our popular treatments is the Massage Sampler. This therapy features a Swedish style massage, Deep Tissue work, and Reflexology. For those who have never had the pleasure of a massage before, it is the perfect introduction to different types of therapies.
Ashiatsu is an updated, Western version of an ancient form of bodywork: massage using the feet. In Japanese, "ashi" means "foot" and "atsu" means pressure." Its roots can be found in a variety of Eastern healing techniques that stretch back thousands of years. The massages are done on the massage table. While holding on to sturdy overhead bars for balance, the therapist stands above you on the massage table and uses her feet to deliver the massage. The advantage of Ashiatsu is that it allows gravity to do the work, leveraging the therapist’s body weight to deliver the deepest massage available today. Your ashiatsu session will be a blend of footwork and hands on treatment for detail work on the face, neck, hands, and/or feet.
If you experience muscle spasms from overuse, or work in a job that has repetitive motion, the Deep Tissue Massage is the answer. The use of pressure point release and deep penetration gets right into the muscle. Try a 60 or 90 minute massage.
Hot Stone Massage is the perfect treatment if you’ve been under a lot of stress. This heat-radiating therapy utilizes smooth stones to penetrate your body providing you with a truly relaxing experience. 90 minutes will leave you relaxed and revitalized.
If you have been told you will have to live with the pain, or have been in pain for at least 6 months Myofascial Release can help you. Myofascial Release is an advanced gentle type of bodywork that is highly effective for chronic pain such as headaches, back/ neck pain, Fibromalgia, TMJ, Plantar Fascitits, Carpal Tunnel, increases mobility and body awareness, This method of Myofascial Release provides healing from physical /emotion trauma and surgery.
Pregnant women’s bodies go through all kinds of changes from conception to well after the baby is born. For a Prenatal Massage, we use body support pillows that will provide you with the comfort you need. Your therapist will work to alleviate your lower back pain, sore legs and hips.
You do not have to be a professional athlete to have sports injuries. Even if you are a recreational enthusiast, you can still suffer from muscle aches and pains. Sports Massage focuses on the areas that need the most help. This therapy can increase your range of motion and help reduce muscle tension.
Polo Lei Lomi Lomi is similar to Swedish in that it uses long, broad strokes for finding the areas that need to be treated. After identifying those areas, treatment is done using static compression. Unlike other modalities of massage, the static compression eases into the muscles, and then holds that position long enough for the muscle being treated to stretch and release. Gentle stretches of the body and gentle rotations of the joints are also incorporated to assist the release of tension. Lomi Lomi can quickly and effectively make changes in the body allowing it to feel better.
Reiki is a subtle form of ancient Japanese energy work that is powerful, simple, natural and safe. The therapist is a channel for the life force energy and during a session the therapist will place their hands close to or on the body. Reiki is typically given as a full body session which covers all the major chakras (energy centers). It´s when the flow of energy is disrupted, weakened, blocked or overactive that emotional or health problems tend to occur. Our body is more than a collection of functioning parts. Reiki can balance the human energy fields (auras) and energy centers (chakras) to improve conditions for the body´s natural healing ability.
