IASTM_edited.jpg

Speed up recovery and break up scar tissue with IASTM! Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization involves the gentle use of scraping tools to increase mobility, relax tense muscles, and improve circulation.

Instrument-Assisted Tool: IASTM

Cupping.jpg

Gliding cupping, also called dynamic cupping, creates light suction to provide myofascial decompression, enhanced circulation, and reduced inflammation. We utilize flexible silicone cups that do not leave lasting marks on the skin.

Our Modalities

Personalize Your Massage

Each session begins with a skilled assessment in order to address your body's needs. From there, your therapist can utilize techniques from the common massage types below to personalize your experience and help you feel your best.

Deep Tissue

Relieve chronic tension & stiffness.

Injury / Rehabilitative

Enhance your recovery process.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Reduce any swelling & detoxify.

Strain - Counterstrain

Address muscle spasms & joint issues.

Craniosacral Therapy

Prenatal Massage

Alleviate pregnancy pains.

Swedish Massage

Gentle tension release & relaxation.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Pain

TMJ can be effectively treated with proper soft tissue techniques that address tension in the muscles surrounding the jaw. Our medical massage therapists may use positional methods to help facilitate postural influences that contribute to chronic jaw pain, as well as release tension from the jaw muscles from inside the mouth, with the client’s permission.

Chronic Anxiety & Stress

Massage has been shown to lower cortisol, our body’s natural “stress” hormone, and aid in boosting serotonin. Cortisol is what helps trigger our “fight or flight” stress response, while serotonin plays a key role in staving off anxiety and depression. This powerful combination can help the body reduce tension caused by chronic stress and diminish feelings of depression, anxiety, and sadness. 

Headaches & Migraines

Regular massage therapy can help alleviate the frequency and severity of headaches by increasing blood flow and stretching the muscle tissue of the neck and head. In doing so, this also calms the nervous system, a common cause of headaches. In cases where headaches or migraines are a result of physical or emotional trauma, craniosacral therapy may be recommended.

Lower Back Pain

Deep tissue massage can alleviate chronic tension in the lumbar paraspinal region, gluteal muscles, and posterior hip rotators. This tension can lead to debilitating muscle spasms and pressure on the lower back. Massage techniques can help correct imbalances and reduce tension in both hip flexors and low back muscles.

Arthritis: Knees, Hips, & Shoulders

There are two types of arthritis: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis; inflammation and pain in the joints can occur in both types. However, regular massage therapy can help to reduce the severity of symptoms by releasing muscle tension and stiffness through soft tissue manipulation.

Post-Surgical Swelling & Pain

Medical massage therapy techniques, such as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), can reduce post-surgical swelling, increase range of motion, and alleviate pressure on nerve endings by enhancing the natural process of fluid movement. MLD helps remove excess fluid from swollen areas, can treat chronic conditions like lymphedema, and can increase functional movement.

Scar Tissue & Adhesions

Massage helps to increase myofascial (muscle tissue) mobility and decrease chronic restriction from adhesions following surgery or other trauma to the body. Soft tissue mobilization, whether manual or instrument-assisted, yields profound results in breaking up scar tissue and increasing functional movement in the body.

High Blood Pressure

Managing blood pressure that is abnormally high is often led by a physician and can incorporate several treatment options depending on the individual. Many protocols focus strongly on stress reduction, and massage can be an effective means to reduce both physical and mental stress.
