Massage Therapy Services

Structural Integration

Structural Integration is a bodywork method that works on the fascia to align and balance the body, improve posture, and relieve chronic pain. This technique focuses on deep manipulation to release tension and create lasting structural changes.

Thai Massage

Thai massage blends assisted stretching, acupressure, and rhythmic compression to release tension, improve flexibility, and balance the body’s energy. Clients remain clothed while the therapist uses hands, elbows, knees, and feet to guide deep stretches.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage uses heated, smooth stones to deeply relax muscles, ease tension, and improve circulation. Warm stones are placed on specific points and used in flowing strokes to melt away stress and promote healing.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release chronic tension, relieve pain, and improve mobility. This intense technique may be uncomfortable at times but yields significant therapeutic benefits.

Ashiatsu

Ashiatsu massage uses the therapist’s feet to apply deep, even pressure along muscles and connective tissues. Overhead bars provide balance, allowing slow, gliding strokes that relieve chronic tension and improve mobility.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the lymphatic system to encourage the natural flow of lymph fluid, reduce swelling and support the immune system. Gentle, rhythmic strokes promote detoxification and help relieve congestion and inflammation.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork technique that uses finger pressure along energy meridians to restore balance, release tension, and support overall well‑being. The therapist applies pressure with their thumbs, palms, and elbows to relax tight muscles and improve circulation.

Scarwork

Scarwork is a specialized therapy that gently addresses scar tissue to improve flexibility, reduce restrictions, and minimize discomfort. Through gentle mobilization and massage, it helps soften scars, enhance circulation, and promote healthier tissue regeneration.

Medical Massage

Medical massage focuses on specific areas of injury or chronic pain and is tailored to a physician’s diagnosis and treatment plan. Techniques may include deep tissue, myofascial release, and stretching to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support rehabilitation.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is specially designed for expectant mothers. Gentle positioning and focused techniques ease muscle tension, reduce stress, and relieve back, hip and leg discomfort while ensuring safety and comfort.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate lymph flow and reduce swelling, especially after surgery or injury. It supports the body’s natural detoxification process and promotes healing and immune function.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release targets the connective tissue (fascia) to relieve restrictions, improve range of motion, and reduce pain. The therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure to release tension and restore healthy movement patterns.

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral therapy uses gentle touch to balance the craniosacral system—comprising the skull, spine, and sacrum—to relieve tension and improve nervous system function. This subtle technique can alleviate headaches, stress, and chronic pain by enhancing the body’s self‑healing mechanisms.

Advanced Thai Massage

Advanced Thai massage integrates deeper stretches, acupressure, and assisted yoga poses to release tension, improve flexibility, and balance energy. It is ideal for those seeking a more dynamic and intense treatment.

Cupping

Cupping therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to lift and mobilize tissue, increase blood flow, and relieve muscle tightness. The therapy can reduce pain and inflammation while promoting relaxation and healing.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It can relieve pain, reduce stress, and support overall wellness by balancing the flow of energy (qi).
