Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue Relaxation Massage

Treating the body in a non-invasive process that encourages the body’s own mechanism to improve function. Combining Myofascial Release, Visceral Manipulation, Deep Tissue, Swedish Massage, Medical/Therapeutic Massage and Tuning Fork Therapy to compliment the massage experience. 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).

Prenatal Massage

Modern science has proven that regular massage during pregnancy can be an instrumental part of a woman’s prenatal care. Studies done by the American Pregnancy Association have proven that prenatal massage reduces anxiety, decreases symptoms of depression, relieves muscle aches and joint pain, and improves labor outcomes and newborn health. Perfect as a birth preparation tool.

Visceral Manipulation and Mayan Abdominal Massage

Improves digestive, balances hormones and is good for fertility. Stimulates the gall bladder, the liver, and the pancreas, improving absorption of oxygen and nutrients and helping release waste. Breaks down adhesions, enhances the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, helps align the pelvic bones, strengthens abdominal muscles and releases deep muscle tissue spasms.
