Massage Therapy Services

Massage Therapy is a form of Physical Therapy, so continuous treatments are necessary to relieve tight muscles. My own struggle with back injury has shown me how truly beneficial massage therapy can be, while making me an more empathic massage therapist. I offer a number of massage therapies including Deep Tissue, Swedish and Hot Stone. Each is described below.

Swedish Massage
Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension
  • Light to medium pressure
  • Promotes circulation and lymph movement
  • Good for stress-related conditions and chronic pain
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
  • Releases muscle tension
  • Provides deep pain relief
  • Loosens scar tissue and lengthens muscles
  • Good for chronic and overuse injuries
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness, and increases circulation and metabolism. A Hot Stone session features the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body to allow for deeper relaxation of the muscles.  Then incorporate a customized massage, with the use of hot stones, to create a healing and relaxing experience.
  • Eases muscle stiffness and tension
  • Increases circulation and warms deeper muscles
  • Decreases stress and anxiety
  • Good for chronic pain, rheumatic/arthritic conditions, fibromyalgia
