Massage Therapy

Massage puts back what life takes out of you!
There are many benefits to massage therapy, whether integrated into a rehabilitation program or used alone, massage therapy promotes:

  • Pain reduction
  • General relaxation and stress reduction
  • Muscular relaxation
  • Functional separation of muscle and connective tissue
  • Deactivation of trigger points
  • Increased energy
  • Greater range of motion and flexibility
  • Improved circulation
Techniques we offer:
  • Swedish Massage highlights relaxation and stress reduction.
  • Therapeutic Bodywork utilizes Swedish massage techniques with deeper, more specific soft tissue work incorporating joint mobilization and facilitated stretching to promote postural changes and pain relief.
  • Sports Massage is traditionally used on athletes to promote optimal performance, a quicker recovery from athletic events, rehabilitation and/or maintenance.  Many different techniques are incorporated including compression, jostling, kneading, digital compression (for trigger point deactivation), broadening, lengthening, cross fiber friction, pin and stretch, and a variety of facilitated stretches.
