Deep Tissue
This type of treatment can encompass many different modalities such as Trigger Point or Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, and stretching with the goal of alleviating specific pain, discomfort, or stiffness in the muscles and fascia. While the pressure is firmer and deeper, it is always kept within the client’s manageable limits through thorough communication. Clients can expect to feel the therapist using her thumbs, knuckles, forearms, and elbows in order to address the unique therapeutic needs in each individual session.

Cupping Therapy
As seen on famous Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps, Cupping Therapy combines ancient methods from Traditional Chinese Medicine with the innovative approaches of western science. The therapist uses plastic cups and an air piston to create “negative pressure,” or suction, to bring pain relief and greater range of motion. Cups are used to break up adhesions in and to lift the layers of tissue, which stimulates the body’s natural healing systems and helps rehydrate congested areas. Cupping can be incorporated into a 60 or 90 minute massage session. Please note: cupping can leave dark circular marks on the skin that typically last for five to seven days.

Ashiatsu
This barefoot massage allows the therapist to access her full body weight in order to provide a deep, full body therapy using the feet to give broad consistent pressure. In Japanese, “ashi” means foot and “atsu” means pressure. Combining elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Myofascial Release, and trigger point work, this form of bodywork can address the needs of many different bodies in a uniquely distinctive way.

Graston Technique
This is a modern western modality focused on breaking up adhesions and initiating the body’s inflammation process in order to invite the body’s natural healing response. While not directly connected, this technique is very similar to the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine practice known as “Gua Sha” which draws toxins and excess heat to be released at the surface of the body. Graston Technique incorporates the use of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to speed up recovery after injury.
*Graston Technique can be done alone in a 30 minute session or be
incorporated into a 60 or 90 minute massage session.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM)
Targeting the Lymphatic System—which supports our body’s immune function—Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses gentle pressure and a specific sequence to encourage better function in filtering foreign contaminants. Unlike the blood which gets pumped through the body by the contractions of the heart, the lymph fluid does not have a pump, and thus flows more easily when stimulated by body movement and LDM. Clients who are recovering from surgery, or suffer with allergies, edema (swelling), and auto-immune diseases can benefit greatly from this modality.
