Massage & Wellness Services and Products
All of our massages are generally a blend of techniques that custom fit the client’s needs. However, certain therapists will be able to focus more on specific styles if you prefer. Most of our therapists are trained in all of these techniques. These are some examples:
- Therapeutic-a combination of many techniques that cater to your specific needs and emphases in stress-reduction and relaxation.
- Neuromuscular-compliments deep tissue work, enhances range of motion and effectively loosens muscle attachments in joints.
- Swedish-tends to be lighter to medium pressure with lots of flow and relaxing movements. Every ,massage therapist receives training in this technique in school.
- Deep Tissue-a slow, deep, and intentional massage that singles out certain problem areas from injury or postural patterns.
- Sports-can be lighter or deeper depending on if the athlete is post event or in the middle of training.
- Pregnancy-we have a great pregnancy pillow that allows you to lay face down! It takes the pressure off of breasts and tummy for maximum melting ability. If you are almost due, it may be requested to do side-lying.
- Thai influenced-Nicole and Jodi perform techniques similar to or based off of Thai massage. Lots of stretching and movement. We do not offer a traditional Thai massage session on the floor.
- Hot Stone-We recently upgraded to have 3 sets of hot stones to accommodate all three rooms at the same time! Advanced notice is preferred, but if hot stone is a last-minute upgrade keep in mind it can take 20-30 minutes for them to reach an optimal temperature.
- Side-lying Massage-This is a great way for a client who might have trouble or the inability to lay flat on a table face down or face up. Pregnancy massage is sometimes given in this fashion as well as someone with a specific injury. Please make a specific request if you want a side-lying massage as not all of our therapists off that service.
