Massage Services
Today, an increasing number of people are seeking alternative treatments to manage their pain and improve their overall wellness, as well as reduce their reliance--and in many cases dependence--on medication. We offer several treatment options to suit your individualized needs.
Deep Tissue Massage
Description: Deep tissue massage is aimed at the release of chronic muscle tension by focusing on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia. The strokes used are similar to those employed in a Swedish massage, but are slower using deeper applied pressure that is focused on a specific area of tension or pain. Deep tissue massage is always combined with Trigger Point Therapy.
Benefits: This type of massage reaches deeper affected muscle layers and accelerates healing after an activity or sports event. By accessing deeper adhesions (also known as “knots”), it allows them to separate and loosen up, so that the muscle tissue can elongate and function optimally as intended.
Cost: $105 - 60 minutes | $125 - 75 minutes | $145 - 90 minutes
Myofascial Release
Description: Myofascial Release (MFR) is a whole-body treatment intended to remove fascial restrictions and help people return to an active, pain-free lifestyle. To achieve this goal, the technique used is applying gentle but firm pressure into the area of restriction for a sustained period of time. The combination of gentle pressure over sustained time releases excessive pressure on pain-sensitive structures caused by trauma, surgery or inflammatory processes. The release can have profound effects and enables the body to self-correct and heal. MFR treatments begin with a standing visual and hands-on assessment to check for alignment issues. Unlike the other massage services, MFR treatments require bringing or wearing comfortable clothes, typically loose fitting shorts and a sports bra or tank top.
Benefits: This treatment rehydrates fascia that has solidified due to injury or trauma; releases fascial restrictions that can affect organ function, muscle movement, digestion, breathing, moves lymph (i.e., lymphatic fluid) and toxins out of the body; and reduces histamine-induced and other inflammation and removes excess fluid. It can also tap into stored muscle memory from past emotional and/or physical injury or trauma and help release the physical dysfunctions caused by these tissue memories. What’s more, through manipulation of the fascial tissue, the hips and pelvis, which are the foundation of MFR, can be realigned and go back into balance/stability.
Cost: Initial Assessment $155 - 75 minutes | $120 - 60 minutes | $140 - 75 minutes | $160 - 90 minutes
Sports Massage
Description: Sports Massage is a focused and systematic treatment that can be performed as a full-body service, or, more commonly, focused on muscles used in a particular sport, e.g., running, tennis, etc. The techniques used are geared towards preventing injury, relieving muscle tension and decreasing muscle pain, reducing inflammation, increasing flexibility and overall range of motion, and to accelerate recovery after an athletic performance. The three Sports Massage services include:
Pre-event massage occurs prior to the actual event, with the goal of warming up major muscles to prevent injury, and prepare the athlete mentally.
Post-event massage focuses on muscle recovery after an athletic performance.
Maintenance massage are regular treatments between events to help the body maintain balance to help prevent injuries; reduce recovery time from injuries; and enhance performance.
Benefits: This massage is geared toward preventing injury, relieving muscle tension, reducing inflammation, increasing flexibility and to accelerate recovery after an athletic performance.
Cost: $105 - 60 minutes | $125 - 75 minutes | $145 - 90 minutes
Swedish Massage
Description: A relaxing massage utilizing long, gliding strokes to facilitate the movement of fluids back to the heart to promote improved circulation, stress reduction and healing. Generally performed as a whole-body service.
Benefits: This massage provides deep relaxation; improved circulation; movement of lymph (i.e., lymphatic fluid); rehydration of cellular tissue; relief from muscle pain and tightness; enhanced sleep and improved flexibility and/or mobility.
Cost: $105 - 60 minutes | $125 - 75 minutes | $145 - 90 minutes
Trigger Point Therapy
Description: A style of massage also used to release chronic muscle tension by applying deep, sustained pressure to an area of adhesion (“knot”) in the muscle tissue. This technique is often combined with Deep Tissue massage.
Benefits: Works in conjunction with Deep Tissue massage to break up adhesions (also known as “knots”) and allows them to separate and loosen up, so that the muscle tissue can elongate and function optimally as intended.
Cost: $105 - 60 minutes | $125 - 75 minutes | $145 - 90 minutes
