Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient form of bodywork widely used medicinally in Thailand, including all hospitals. Performed with the client fully clothed on a mat or table, it incorporates compression-style hands, along with the use of the therapist’s feet, knees, elbows, and thumbs for deeper work. The foundation is to deeply relax the client so they can be passively stretched, resulting in the following:
- Elongated muscle fibers and connective tissue
- Let go of tension and build trust with the therapist
- Improved circulation and lymphatic flow for overall health
- Feel more open, energized, alive, free from physical and mental restrictions
Deep Tissue Massage
A deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique focused on relieving chronic muscle tension and addressing deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Our therapists use firm pressure and slower, more targeted strokes to reach the deep muscle and connective tissue. The goal is to break up knots that can cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Benefits of deep tissue massage include the following:
- Relieves stress and tension promoting relaxation and reducing stress
- Aids injury recovery by improving circulation and reducing inflammation
- Reduces chronic pain and stiffness in the muscles especially neck, back, & shoulders
- Improves flexibility and range of motion by breaking up muscle adhesions & increrasing blood flow
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy supports athletes and active individuals by enhancing performance and aiding recovery. It uses targeted techniques to address muscle tension, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries. Whether you're preparing for an event or recovering afterward, sports massage helps keep your body in top condition.
In addition to a sports massage, these add-ons can provide even more benefits:
- Red light therapy penetrates the skin and alleviates pain at a deeper level. It also promotes muscle relaxation and reduces deeper inflammation, which aids in recovery.
- Cupping improves pain associated with chronic soft tissue injuries/inflammation, improves blood flow, and eases muscle stiffness in the affected joint.
