Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying pressure to certain meridian points on the body to relieve pain. The human body has fourteen “meridians” that carry energy throughout the body. These meridians start at the fingertips, connect to the brain, and then connect to the organ associated with the specific meridian.
Acupressure deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one, not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances the vital life forces of the body. Acupressure uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing.
Acupressure can be effective in helping relieve headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems, neck pain, backaches, arthritis, muscle aches, and tension due to stress. There are also great advantages to using Acupressure as a way to balance the body and maintain good health.
The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension, increases circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply. By relieving stress, acupressure strengthens resistance to disease and promotes wellness.

Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle non-invasive technique that helps to improve lymphatic flow, beneficial to the Immune system. This technique is especially recommended for individuals who have had lymph node removal.
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 treatmen
These treatments are based on the understanding that our bodies work as one unit of function and that all tissues are interconnected. In this style of treatment, the therapist uses light and medium pressure and a variety of techniques including, Swedish techniques, joint play, stretches, lymphatic drainage, trigger point therapy, and other techniques customized to address each client’s needs.
Clients receiving this type of treatment will experience decreased muscle tension, better quality pain-free motion in their joints, balanced drainage and supply of blood and lymphatic fluid, better sleep, and can be great for post surgery, post injury, or rehabbing.
Gentle hands-on technique that uses light pressure to unwind the nervous system from patterns of compression, hyper-vigilance and inertia to states of ease, resource and flow.
Relieving tension in the central nervous system can eliminate pain and boosting health/immunity.
Myofascial release is a soft tissue therapy for the treatment of skeletal muscle immobility and pain which incorporates stretching and massage of the connective tissues, or fascia.
The therapy relaxes contracted muscles, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulates the stretch reflex in muscles. Myofascial release is an attempt to bring about changes in the myofascial structures by stretching or elongation of fascia, or mobilizing adhesive tissues. The practitioner moves slowly through the layers of the fascia until the deep tissues are reached.
Similar to a Swedish massage, this service is adapted specifically to the pregnant woman. Prenatal Massage done properly is safe and beneficial at all stages of normal pregnancy. It can shorten labor times and ease pain and anxiety. It can be done prenatal or postpartum to re-balance structure, physiology and emotions of the new mother, and may help her to bond with and care for her infant.
Moms-to-be are encouraged to bring their own relaxation CD that they plan to use during delivery. This helps bring the memory of relaxation massage into the delivery room. Let this healing touch ease the normal aches and pains of pregnancy. A gift certificate for massage makes a wonderful baby shower gift.
This dynamic, ancient healing art and science addresses the vital energy (ch’i) in the body. The focus is to stimulate and clear congestions in the meridians allowing the energy to flow freely so that the body can achieve a state of balance.
Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex points on the hands and the feet that correspond to each organ, gland and structure of the body. By applying pressure to the reflex points the application can reduce tension all over the entire body. Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy favored by individuals who prefer to stay dressed during a therapeutic session.
Reiki – (ray/key) – Universal Light Energy; an ancient form of hands-on therapy that brings about total relaxation, peace, balance and harmony. By using various hand placements that may be placed a few inches above the physical body or on the physical body, a Reiki practitioner can assist the release of tension of areas that have been compromised through illness, stress or trauma.
Currently Reiki is a valuable tool being administered in hospitals for relaxing patients pre and postsurgery. Reiki may also be combined with a relaxation massage.
Shiatsu means, “finger pressure” in Japanese. Using a series of techniques, practitioners apply rhythmic finger pressure (or feet can be used) at specific points on the body in order to stimulate chi (vital energy), and stretches to release blockages on the body’s energy ways (meridians).
This type of technique can be performed on a massage table or a mat on the floor. It also helps improve circulation and metabolism and stimulates nerves.
Perfect for the active person or serious athlete. Sports massage can be applied in 2 specific techniques. Pre-event therapy works to loosen and invigorate the muscles to prepare them for the impact of intense activity for greater performance and decreased chance of injury.
Post-event therapy can be called a “flush”. Muscles can break down and accumulate lactic acid during sporting events. This needs to be worked out or you can experience longer than desired recovery times. Do your body a favor the next time you are involved in intense physical activity and order a sports massage.
Traditional Ancient Thai massage is a unique form of Bodywork that incorporates Hatha Yoga, acupressure and reflexology with origins dating back about 2500 years. The best thing about Thai massage is that you get the flexibility, inner organ massage, oxygenation of the blood and quieting of the mind that is attained with yoga.
Through deep muscle stretching, joint release and emphasis on breath, Thai massage offers many of the same benefits as yoga. It is a unique and deep massage that transforms the body to a more flexible, relaxed, lighter and less painful being. In Thai massage it is not just the hands that are used to free tension from the recipient’s body, but the therapists feet, forearms, knees, and elbows as well.
Be assured northern style Thai massage is never painful. Thai massage is applied on a mat on the floor or on a low massage table if preferred and the work is done fully clothed and no oils are required.
Trigger point therapy uses specific points or knots within the muscular tissue that connects to pain patterns throughout the body.
By working with the correct pattern of trigger points, a practitioner can reduce pain and relieve muscle tension in the areas of the body that connect with that particular trigger.
