ABOUT massage therapy

Indulge in a massage experience like no other, designed to cater to your individual needs with precision. Regardless of your pressure preference, our technique is interactive and responsive. Furthermore, this specific massage method effectively lowers cortisol (stress hormone) levels and heart rate, while fostering a sense of tranquility by eliciting the release of oxytocin and serotonin.

Prior to a massage, a certified massage therapist will engage in a comprehensive discussion with the client regarding any accidents, injuries, or complaints of generalized stiffness. This dialogue aims to gain insight into how the pain or injury is impacting the client’s daily life and their desired outcomes from the massage therapy. Subsequently, the massage session will be meticulously tailored to meet the specific needs of the client, with a focus on addressing stiff, sore, and achy areas of primary concern. The massage therapist will continuously adjust the massage technique, modulating pressure as necessary.

Deep tissue massage is designed to target muscle adhesions that may accumulate post-accident or as a result of chronic illness. This technique involves the application of intense, controlled pressure and friction to affected areas, working across the grain of the muscle. By doing so, deep tissue massage effectively relaxes rigid tissue and alleviates pain associated with stiff muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

Specifically targeting tension held in the neck muscles and shoulders, relaxation massage extends to encompass muscles of the back, legs, and feet, offering comprehensive head-to-toe soothing. Additionally, relaxation massage, characterized by its gentle and soothing nature, involves the gentle rubbing and kneading of upper tissue layers, inducing a profound sense of tranquility that often induces relaxation. To enhance the sensory experience, aromatherapy is frequently integrated with massage, providing a holistic and nurturing touch.
