Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it reduces stress, relieves muscle tension and pain, increases circulation, improves flexibility, helps with posture, and aids in the reduction of insomnia, anxiety and depression. Swedish Massage is generally performed with  gentle, light pressure. 

By treating the origin and insertion of specific muscles, this technique reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down muscular adhesions (knots), to treat chronic and acute strains and sprains and addresses injuries or conditions caused by repetitive use.  This massage can be beneficial for everyone, from competing athletes to those who sit or stand for extended periods of time.

Myofascial release therapy utilizes gentle, sustained pressure into the  connective tissue to eliminate pain and restore flexibility and motion to the body. This technique is combined with stretching the restricted fascia and using active release and pin and stretch methods.

The stones are used in hand and include deep tissue techniques (when requested).

Cupping therapy is a traditional, time-honored practice that utilizes the techniques of decompression and negative pressure, rather than compression. It is a safe, non-invasive modality that uses suction cups to create decompression which helps relive muscle tension and stiffness, reduce inflammation and adhesions, and provide relief for many conditions.
