Swedish Massage

firefoxThis is the relaxing, stress-reducing type of massage most people think about when they want a massage. Swedish massage includes gliding, kneading, and striking strokes as well as friction strokes, stretching, joint movements, gentle shaking, and rocking. Generally, the massage is full-body and is very relaxing and has therapeutic benefits. Swedish Massage technique can also focus on one area of the body such as the back if that is the client's desire. Swedish Massage sessions are typically 1 hour to 90 minutes, but can be shorter or longer as desired.

Hot Stone Massage

firefox This massage is among the most luxurious of them all. The therapist combines a Swedish or Deep Tissue massage with the healing properties of Hot Stones. The energy and penetrating heat of the stones help tension just melt away as though it had never been there. The stones are used both to perform massage strokes and to bring relaxing warmth to the body. It's been said that one massage stroke with a hot stone is equivalent to ten strokes without the hot stone. Try it, it's wonderful. Hot Stone Massage is available ONLY during in-office massage sessions.

Deep Tissue Massage

firefoxDeep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. We use slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle. Deep tissue massage is used for chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury. People often feel sore for one to two days after deep tissue massage. More about deep tissue massage (this link will take you off our site).

Pregnancy Massage

firefoxPrenatal massage refers to specific massage techniques that have been shown to reduce pregnancy discomforts and to enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both mother and baby. Pregnancy is a tumultuous period for a woman’s mind and body. Any woman who has been pregnant can sympathize with the mental and physical fatigue associated with being pregnant. Not only does a woman experience physical changes, she also experiences mental changes as well.

Massage therapy has been known to calm many of the aches and pains associated with pregnancy such as sciatica, swelling, back and neck pain, and stomach upset. Prenatal massage has also been shown to improve physical discomforts by encouraging circulation and by stretching the muscles and joints to their full range of motion to improve skin elasticity and body tone. Studies show that pregnant women who receive regular prenatal massages are more at ease - furthermore relaxing the fetus inside their womb.

    Benefits of Prenatal Massage include:
    • Improve maternal mood
    • Decrease obstetrical complications
    • Improve neonatal health and development
    • Decresed length of labour
    • Shorter hospitals stays
    • Lessen touch sensitivity
    • Decrease postpartum depression
