TREATMENTS
Therapeutic Massage
Enjoy a personalized treatment tailored to your individual needs and overall goals. This massage is beneficial for the treatment of pain, injuries or stress. A combination of Swedish massage techniques are used with varying amounts of pressure to decrease muscular tension. This may include trigger point therapy, fascial work and other specific techniques.
Perinatal Massage
The perinatal period includes the time surrounding your pregnancy, including post partum. Pregnancy comes with many physical and emotional changes so it's important to have a treatment that is appropriate and effective for each trimester. Benefits can include increased relaxation and decreased pain and stiffness. We may also address any postural concerns and suggest remedial exercises if necessary. Please indicate if you are expecting when booking your appointment.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone therapy provides the added benefit of heat to your massage. Smooth, water-heated stones are held by the therapist while using Swedish massage techniques to help relieve tension from the body. This therapy is sometimes preferred by those who like a gentler touch or suffer from conditions such as fibromyalgia. A hot stone therapy is often the choice for anyone looking for the ultimate in relaxation.
TMJ Therapy
For those suffering from jaw pain or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, this treatment addresses all of the muscles associated with movement of the jaw. The session involves accessing these muscles both externally and internally. The internal portion is not very long but yields great results. As with all treatments, we proceed only within your comfort level. Can be done as a stand alone treatment or included as part of your massage. Please state "TMJ" in notes when booking this service. (Be sure to check Therapist's description on booking page to ensure this treatment is offered by the RMT you are booking with)
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy involves the used of silicone or plastic "cups" which create suction on the tissue. The idea is to create space between the skin and the underlying fascia to help reduce restrictions. During a cupping session, your therapist will use a combination of static (non moving) and dynamic (moving) applications as needed. Some marking on the skin is normal but should only last a few days. This therapy can be used during any treatment upon request. (Be sure to check Therapist's description on booking page to ensure this treatment is offered by the RMT you are booking with)
Indie Head Massage
Indie Head Massage is focused on your scalp, neck, face, shoulders, and upper back. It's designed to relieve the tension we tend to carry in this area and can help increase mental clarity, decrease headaches and reduce stress. You may book this as a stand alone treatment or request a "mini" session at the end of any treatment. Please state "IHM" in notes when booking this service.
