This massage involves the client lying on a padded table best received with the body unclothed though some clients will prefer to keep on underclothes. Towels and blankets are provided for warmth and personal privacy. A full body massage is probably the best massage to receive as it addresses all of the body's systems. It nurtures calms and produces a feeling of well-being and relaxation. The massage can last from half an hour to two hours  Our standard rates apply. To enhance the experience and relaxation, background music and aroma-therapeutic oils are available.

Several members of our staff specialize and provide targeted services such as accident recovery, sports event support,  spa relaxation, and structural allignment and strengthening of muscles, assisted streatching, or Traditional Chiness Medicine. 

Swedish/Western Massage is an oil massage using five types of manipulation: effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction (deep circular movement), tapotement (percussion), and vibration to promote relaxation, improve circulation, relieve tension, and expand the range of motion.

Sports Massage is a highly specialized form of massage therapy. It begins with careful study of the movements involved in sports activity. Then the muscle and joint movements are analyzed. Finally, deep tissue strokes, muscle massage, release points, and joint movements are designed to correct harmful movement patterns and prevent tissue damage during exercise.

Deep Tissue Massage works through muscle tension layer by layer, reaching the deeper muscles where chronic pain and tension may be released. Deep work is often slower than regular bodywork, allowing the soft tissues to open at deeper levels. Since deep work requires more time to release the tension in specialized areas, your massage will not always treat all areas of your body in one session.

Acupressure refers to a system of bodywork which uses pressure on specific points to balance an individual's energy and bring about physical improvements. Acupressure may be used in conjunction with an oil massage or exclusively as in Shiatsu, Jin Shin Do, and Reflexology.

Shiatsu is a Japanese hand healing method effective for stress, locomotive and internal disorders. In Oriental Medicine, all disorders are seen as the result of an imbalance of the distribution of life force in the body. The practitioner supports and empathizes with the receiver's inner drive to recover, balances the life force in the meridians and creates a warm understanding through touch and pressure, thus promoting self-healing. The client is fully clothed to receive Shiatsu.

Jin Shin Do uses moderate pressure on acupuncture points to channel energy. Rather than use rhythmic pressure, as in Shiatsu, the Jin Shin Do practitioner simply holds the points, sensing the energy pulsation and allowing the release of tension. Jin Shin Do emphasizes the "Middle Way", the balance between too much and too little. The client is fully clothed to receive Jin Shin Do.

Reflexology, while similar in principal to Shiatsu and Acupressure, focuses on points of the hands and feet believed to correspond to each organ, gland and structure of the body. Practitioners manipulate reflex points to reduce tension, improve blood supply and reestablish harmony among body functions. As in Shiatsu and Jin Shin Do, clients can remain clothed except for shoes and socks.

Deep Tissue Pressure Point Massage works through muscle tension layer by layer, reaching the deeper muscles where chronic pain and tension may be released. Deep work is often slower than regular bodywork, allowing the soft tissues to open at deeper levels. Since deep work requires more time to release the tension in specialized areas, your massage will not always treat all areas of your body in one session.

Trigger Point Therapy induces relief of tension by activating or deactivating specific points on the body. A trigger point is a tight and tender spot in a muscle that refers pain (or "triggers" pain) to other areas of the body. Some of the causes of trigger points in muscles are stress, excessive chilling, injury, overuse, and strain. Treatment of trigger points consists of application of sustained pressure in specific areas to inactivate the muscle spasm.
