Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic style which incorporates firm pressure and slow strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in specific areas of the body. Deep tissue massage is often used to treat chronic pain and muscle tension, and can also be used to improve range of motion, reduce stress and promote well-being.

Trigger Point Therapy is a therapeutic technique used to alleviate pain and muscle tension. It focuses on identifying and treating trigger points, which are localized areas of muscle tightness and hyperirritability that can lead to referred pain, discomfort, and restricted range of motion. Trigger points can develop in muscles due to various factors, such as overuse, muscle imbalances, injury, stress, or poor posture.

Craniosacral therapy is a whole person hands-on healing approach that focuses on the subtle rhythms and movements of the craniosacral system. Your therapist will address tissues including the skull, spine, and the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Practitioners use gentle touch and manipulation to detect and release restrictions in these structures, aiming to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and enhance the body's ability to heal itself. It's based on the belief that by restoring balance and flow in the craniosacral system, overall health and well-being can be improved, making it a complementary therapy often used alongside conventional medical treatments.

CranioSacral Therapy

This technique developed by David Graston uses specially designed instruments to separate and organize scar tissue that has accumulated in muscles, ligaments and tendons after an injury. After receiving this treatment, patients have less pain, improved mobility and are less likely to injure themselves in the future. Great for athletes or anyone with chronic recurring injuries!

Kinesio Tape, also known as KT Tape, serves multiple functions, including providing support and stability to muscles and joints while maintaining a full range of motion, reducing pain through the lifting of skin and pressure relief, improving circulation and lymphatic flow to reduce swelling and inflammation, and enhancing neurosensory feedback and proprioception. It is effectively used to aid in injury prevention, management, and rehabilitation of soft tissue dysfunction.

Sport and Medical Massage is offered for clients who need help with a particular movement pattern or body region. They are typically moving towards a goal of less pain and increased range of motion. These clients understand that gains are made a little at a time and realize that the benefits of massage are cumulus in nature. This can be a clothes-on of session for people unfamiliar with massage.
