Massage specialties:

• Deep Tissue - Focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Very helpful for chronically tense areas such as stiff necks, lower back tightness and sore shoulders. In the case of chronic muscle tension or injury, adhesions (bands of rigid, painful tissue) can be found in muscles, tendons and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement and inflammation. Deep tissue Massage works by physically breaking down the adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement.
• Trigger Point Therapy - Are accumulations of waste products around a nerve receptor. Often times they feel like nodules or taut bands of fibers within the soft tissues. Triggers points form in muscles which have been overused or injured due to an accident or surgery. Common characteristics are increased muscle tension and muscle shortening. Trigger points can present themselves as referred patterns of sensations such as sharp pain, dull ache, tingling, pins and needles symptoms.
• Relaxation Massage - Commonly known as Swedish Massage therapy, this is considered a gentle, relaxing massage. If you have specific pain or discomfort, or just want to de-stress, this may be the one for you. If you have never had a massage, this is a good one to try first.
