Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
Types of Massage Therapy
Therapeutic Massage
A deeply relaxing and therapeutic soft tissue massage to release restrictions, increase mobility, and restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit. Our therapists are trained in a variety of rehabilitation massage modalities including John F. Barns myofascial release approach®, deep tissue, connective tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, sports massage, structural integration, neuromuscular therapy, and more. Although there are many different types of therapeutic modalities, sessions typically incorporate multiple techniques in order to best meet your own particular needs.
Wellness/Swedish Massage
A Swedish massage incorporates long slow strokes, kneading, and gentle movements to create a session that is both nurturing and extremely relaxing. This is a wonderful option for clients who like light to moderate pressure during a massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage involves applying pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. With so many clients that love using deep-tissue for pain-relief, this might be your answer to treating your ongoing issues!
John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach®(MFR)
Myofascial release therapy is a gentle hands on approach to healing which incorporates a light touch to help release restriction in the connective tissue throughout the body. This technique works directly with the body's fascial system to gently release connective tissue, reduce adhesions, increase blood flow, release scar tissue, and reduce pain throughout the body. MFR is beneficial for individuals with fibromyalgia, TMJ, chronic pain, disc problems, migraines, scar tissue restriction, menstrual pain, and normal everyday aches and pains. Gentle Myofascial release work can be incorporated into a therapeutic massage, prenatal massage, or a stand alone session for clients looking for an alternative to deep tissue and Swedish massage.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymph massage is a gentle massage technique designed to encourage the natural drainage of lymph. This massage uses light pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system which cleanses and nourishes our cells. Lymphatic Drainage Technique is a gentle approach that does not use creams or oils. The practitioner will identify stagnant, congested areas of the body and gently push the old lymph out of lymph vessels making room for fresh lymph to refill in the body, acting as a pump system to help stimulate the bodies immune system. The abdomen is also commonly flushed using gentle lymphatic techniques to assist with full body detoxification. This helps restore proper circulation in the body.

Scar Tissue Rehabilitation Massage
As the body recovers from an injury, scar tissue or collagen fibers develop around the site of an injury to mend the damage. This tissue has a denser feel to the tissue around it. Massage therapy can improve the flexibility, help hasten the healing process, and allow the tissue to resume a softer more malleable feel. We use a combination of massage techniques such as cross fiber friction, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, and deep tissue therapy to help rehabilitate the body after an injury. This massage is wonderful for people who are being proactive with their healing starting 12 weeks post op or even many years after a injury or surgery.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is a wonderful way to incorporate the therapeutic properties of heat into a massage session. The warmth from the stones feels amazing and allows your massage therapist to easily release tension from the muscles. The use of heat helps the body to reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation and range of motion in the muscles and joints, and increases metabolism. A hot stone massage combines deeply relaxing therapeutic massage techniques with stones, placing hot stones on various muscles to warm them up before massaging the muscles. We know you will love this heavenly warming hot stone massage. We also use hot stones in our postpartum mother roasting sessions click here for more information.
Crainosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a deeply relaxing, hands-on technique that focuses on the bones of the head, spinal column, sacrum, and the underlying tissues. A Craniosacral therapist has learned to listen to the rhythm of the cranial sacral system to assess and treat the body. Using about five grams of pressure with gentle techniques the therapist can release areas of restriction to restore proper mobility and body functioning. Craniosacral Therapy is a noninvasive 60 minute session where the client remains fully clothed on the massage table. This therapy is deeply relaxing and clients tend to report feelings of warmth, feel a gentle pulsing in the areas that the therapist is working on, or even feel as if things are being rebooted. People find they may fall asleep or feel as they are floating during a session. Crainosacral therapy is also wonderful for pregnant and postpartum women. You can learn more by clicking here.
Sound Healing
Sound Healing is a practice that uses a variety of instruments and sound to sync with the body's natural frequencies promoting mental, spiritual, and physical healing. The sound healing therapist incorporates both relaxing massage techniques and uses a selection of crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, tuning forks, composed music, and vocals during a sound healing massage. By creating various sound frequency's, sound healing techniques can facilitate moving, balancing, grounding, and clearing the bodies energy. It can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and even support clients who are working to release emotional blocks such as feelings of grief or sadness.
