Treatment is focused on releasing the deep connective tissues of the body. When fascia loses pliability, it becomes tight, restricted, and source of tension throughout the rest of the body, therefore forming adhesion and fibrotic connective tissue that causes muscle pain, reducing the range of motion of the joint, decreasing the circulation and nerve impingements, poor posture. Deeper strokes with occasional compressions, stretches and distractions to stimulate the muscle and the flow of fluids to affect the neuromuscular system. Using little lotion or towel we apply a downward pressure into resistance.

Similar in style to the Relaxation Massage, the Pregnancy Massage may help reduce or alleviate many of the common physical discomforts associated with pregnancy: backaches, leg cramps, constipation, swelling, fatigue, varicose veins, headaches, and insomnia. For women who must limit their physical activity during pregnancy, massage helps stimulate circulation and maintain joint flexibility. Our pregnancy cushions allow the mother-to-be to lie face down during the treatment, an indulgence in itself. The use of aromatic essential oils is not recommended during pregnancy.

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative treatment where suction draws the blood to the skin and separates layers of tissue. This treatment is used to help treat pain, reduce scar tissue, and relieve muscle knots and swelling. As with many forms of therapeutic massage, the sensation experienced by the client varies and at times may be uncomfortable. The treatment will likely leave a mark on the skin however it will fade with time and will not be tender. The cups stay in place for several minutes and can be pulled along the tissue to address specific concerns of the client. Your therapist will often place the cups on one area while providing hands on treatment to other areas of the body.
