Benefits of massage therapy

Structural Integration/Connective Tissue

Towel-covered client This method will help to relieve chronic tension, promote deep relaxation, enhance self-awareness and improve posture. It involves applying an energetic and sustained pressure to the fascial structures as it helps corrects internal and external inbalances and enhance agility in the body.

Acupressure/Shiatsu

Head massage A Japanese system of physical therapy, using the therapists fingers, hands or feet to stimulate pressure points and balance your energy. It can help to stimulate the body's natural healing powers, while releasing stress, tension and opening your energy flow.

Neuromuscular Therapy

Shoulder X-ray Focuses on the relief and release of highly tense, irritated areas in the muscle, known as “trigger points.” This technique uses concentrated finger pressure to help break the cycles of spasm and pain.

On-site/Chair

chair massage You remain clothed and seated in a specially designed chair, which suppports you and allows the therapist to massage your back, neck, shoulders, arms and hands. This is done on-site at your location or event.

Deep Tissue

Lower back massage This massage style is similar to Swedish but is performed with deeper pressure to release built up tightness and knots in the muscles. It is very good for the release of chronic tension and muscular spasms due to stress or injury.

Swedish

orange towel A familiar type of masssage that involves systematically stroking, kneading, and pressing softly into the tissues, to help induce a state of relaxation and improve circulation. It also assists in removing toxins from the tissues.
