Lymphatic – Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. This service may take 30-to 60 minutes depending on the client’s condition and r requirements at the time of the massage. The pricing reflects the cost of the service, not the amount of time used. Before your first appointment any existing drains or ports should have already been removed and incisions should be closed.
Medical – Medical massage is outcome-based massage, primarily the application of a specific treatment targeted to the specific problem the patient presents with a diagnosis and are administered after a thorough assessment/evaluation by the medical massage therapist with specific outcomes being the basis for treatment.
Neuromuscular – Neuromuscular massage therapy is a specialized form of manual massage in which digital pressure and friction are used to release areas of strain in a muscle. Strain areas are called tender or trigger points, and they tend to be the cause of ongoing muscular pain symptoms.
Prenatal – Prenatal massage is a type that’s similar to regular massage – it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But prenatal massage is also customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly.
Your massage therapist should be able to help you get comfortable at every stage of pregnancy. Right from the start, it may be uncomfortable to lie facedown because of your tender, swollen breasts. And you can’t lie facedown on a traditional massage table once your belly has started to grow.
Our certified prenatal massage therapists use a special pad with hollowed areas and pillows to accommodate your belly and breasts, so you can lie face down.
( Must be at least out of your first trimester )
Russian Sports – Russian Massage, also known as a Russian Sports Massage, focuses on somewhat vigorous techniques that will relieve muscle aches, various pains, and stiffness common to athletes.
However, unlike a typical Sports Massage, the strokes are generally slower and have gentler motions. The use of friction stimulates a heating effect in the body and, when combined with outer vibration techniques, it’s useful for easing sore muscles and joints. While cold restricts blood vessels and organs, heat relaxes and expands them, aiding the body and mind to affectively release tension.
