Our massage therapists offer beautiful intuitive massage treatments tailored to your body’s needs.
The massage can be combined with cupping, according to each patient’s need. Cupping improves blood flow in the area and is a great tool to release muscle tension.
Lymphatic Massage – Involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to move excess fluid buildup away from your tissues and toward working lymph vessels and lymph nodes so they can get rid of toxins in your body.
Lymphatic drainage massage reduces swelling from inflammation, improves Immune Function, helps Post-Surgical Recovery, reduces discomfort and makes you feel lighter, and supports Detoxification.
Therapeutic Massage and Cupping – This massage technique focuses on addressing specific health concerns, such as pain, injury, and stress. Using techniques to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, improve movement and release pain.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage is amazing to receive during this time of so much change. We work according to the stage of your pregnancy to release tension/discomfort in a specific area or simply give you some much needed relaxation. Lighter strokes are used in combination with trigger point releases while you lie on your side with a body pillow for comfort or face down with your belly nestled in a “Belly Pillow” with a big hole in it – amazing (especially if you miss lying on your tummy).
What are the benefits of a Massage?
- Release waste and toxins: When a muscle is tight or has developed a trigger point, it means that the cells of the muscle are holding in toxins and waste and aren’t able to function to their full potential. As a deep tissue massage loosens up the muscles, it allows for the toxins and waste to leave the muscles and brings oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, which then allows your body to recover faster.
- Perform better: When the muscles get loosened up, it allows you to have increased flexibility and range of motion, which then in turn helps you perform better.
- Injury prevention: If your muscles are able to perform to their full potential, you are less likely to overcompensate with other parts of the body. Additionally, your joints are able to function properly, which in turn helps you avoid injury.
- Decreased pain: By releasing the tight spots and trigger points, deep tissue massage will decrease your daily pain. This, paired with the increased blood flow allows you to recover from injuries and pain faster.
- Decreases stress: Massage allows your body to decrease production of cortisol, which is the hormone your body releases when it is stressed. Simultaneously it increases your body’s production of feel good hormones such as serotonin and dopamine.
- Improves sleep: The lowered production of cortisol and increased state of relaxation allows your body to sleep better.
How often should I get a massage?
For general maintenance, we recommend getting a 60 minute massage once a month. If you are training for something or under a lot of pressure at work, we recommend getting a 60 minute deep tissue massage every 2 weeks until your competition or deadline. If you are recovering from an injury it may help to get a massage weekly.
The reason? The more regularly you get massaged, the more accustomed your body gets to releasing. What this means is that the more regularly you get massaged, your muscles will release faster, which in turn will allow your massage therapist to work into the deeper muscles sooner. And because your muscles will be getting loosened more often, you won’t be as tight for each following appointment, which will improve your muscle’s long-term health.
