Massage and Bodywork are the oldest forms of healing known to man. Nurturing touch is essential to our healthy development, ongoing wellness, and survival.  It can be defined as any manual (touch) therapy that manipulates the soft tissues of the body to restore, invigorate, and promote optimal wellness and healing to the entire body. In the spirit of that tradition and in keeping with those intentions, we offer the following styles of massage and bodywork for your healing needs:
 

Swedish Massage: known for its soft flowing strokes, light to vigorous tapping, kneading, stretching, and pressures aims to revitalize the soft tissues and joints of the body and bathe the you in sensations of delight and relaxation. It helps relieve sore and tight muscles.
 

Deep Tissue and Trigger Point Massage: is used to target and treat muscular knots (Trigger Points), inflammation, scar tissue, and adhesions and is specifically designed to release deep muscular, tendon, and fascial tensions. Pressures are generally deeper, work across the fibers of muscle rather than along them, and may cause initial discomfort before the relief of tension is felt. Very therapeutic!

Overall, medical massage is a noninvasive therapy that produces beneficial health results to those experiencing numerous health-related illnesses and injuries.
