Modalities Offered
Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki is a form of energy healing that was developed in Japan during the early 1920's. The ideology follows the belief that a divine, universal life force connects and flows through everything and everyone. Throughout the course of our lives, our energy can fluctuate. It can be drained, it can get stuck, and it can even become overactive to an unhealthy degree. Reiki helps us to refocus and reconnect our energy with the source, allowing our bodies to attain deep relaxation, balance, and the ability to reach the entire scope of our natural healing abilities.
Deep Tissue Massage
This type of massage utilizes deep pressure to release tension held deep in the muscles and connective tissues. Deep tissue sessions can offer relief from physical injuries and chronic pain, it can reduce stress and improve posture, and can break up scar tissue, reduce headaches, and increase joint flexibility and range of motion.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient technique that involves suctioning the skin with glass, plastic, or silicone cups. This method has been shown to drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions and revitalize connective tissue, increase blood flow to skin and muscles, and improve mobility and range of motion.
Trigger Point Therapy
TrP therapy is a targeted form of myofascial therapy. Trigger points are very similar to knots, but it typically takes several months to years for a trigger point to form, and when it does, it will not go away on its own as a knot can. Trigger points can cause deep aches and pain, and even referred pain across the entire body. They can cause motor dysfunction, proprioception dysfunction, lack of mobility, sciatica, migraines, fertility issues… honestly, just about any dysfunction in the body is very likely related to an active trigger point. They will block any blood flow and circulation from entering the area, which won’t allow any strengthening or stretching to alleviate the tension. Trigger points must be released manually.
Neuromuscular Therapy
NMT targets chronic muscle pain and nervous system disorders by focusing on trigger points, ischemic areas, postural issues, and imbalances in the body by means of manual pressure and adaptations to automatic/learned behaviors. This modality aims to reset nerve-to-muscle communication, as many of the dysfunctions found are caused by improper habits we've created over the years.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial pain syndrome is a long-term pain condition that affects your muscles and fascia, the thin layer of tissues that hold muscles in place. Fascia is a fibrous connective tissue that surrounds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in your body - think of it as a three-dimensional web that holds everything together. When your fascia is dehydrated or inflamed, it can restrict movement and cause painful adhesions. MFR therapy works to release the tension in the soft tissues, reducing pain and allowing a wider range of motion.
Prenatal Massage
Similar to Swedish, this massage aims to relax tense muscles and improve circulation and mobility for expectant mothers. Prenatal massages can help to improve your overall mood and lower stress levels, reduce edema and muscle aches, improve labor outcome and newborn health, and lower postnatal pain.
