Deep Tissue Therapeutic Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tense muscles via deeper pressure. This modality is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress in areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries.
Due to the nature of this massage, open communication during the session is crucial to ensure the pressure used remains tolerable. Bare in mind, a bit of soreness the day after is common; getting enough water (per your standard of care) is beneficial to the flushing of lactic acidities and impurities from our bodies.
Pressure Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy *adds up to an additional 20 minutes, and may involve four zones (e.g., hips, low back, glutes, and/or upper back, shoulders).
This style of bodywork focuses on stimulating and releasing trigger points (tender) areas of concentrated tension in the belly of the muscles versus along the energy pathways of the body.
These "knots" develop over a period of time due to repetitive physical, or mental and emotional stressors. Some are trauma related, an auto accident, a slip and fall, or as any of these likely caused formations of scar tissue.
These areas are deeper to address and slower to release. Thusly some discomfort may be experienced, precisely the time in which slow, deep cleansing breaths are key.
Ideally beneficial on larger muscles (trapz, glutes, psoas release...). The smaller neck & shoulder muscles can too require pin-pointed pressure, all of course within the Client's personal tolerance.
Afterward, the effects are lasting and profoundly transformitive.
Note:
Trigger points in the areas of neck and shoulders are already included with our Massages. $25 add-on fee allows an additional 20 minutes to address zones, aforementioned; only on an as-needed basis; and applied only upon your request or your prior approval.
Kindly, we thank you in advance.
Foot Reflexology
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massage that intend to mostly relieve tension, foot reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into our feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, depression, stimulating the pineal gland, and used as an alternative to treat the corresponding body part(s) if injured or too tender for massage.
This modality includes warmed toe stones and steamed towels per foot, after. Additionally, the hands are included during last 15 minutes.
Hot Stone Therapy (Upgrade)
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated Basalt stones are placed at specific areas on the body (shoulders, back, sacrum, between toes) to deepen relaxation and promote circulation. Muscles warmed in this way tend to release tension and stress quicker than without. Arthritic sufferers find hot stones beneficial. The overall experience is comforting and relaxing.
Upon request, a large, warm 'sacrum' stone is generally used during most massage sessions, at no additional charge.
Cupping Treatment
Superficial fascia is dense connective tissue just beneath the skin, covering the entire body. Over time, fascia becomes quite sticky, adhering to the muscles, restricting range of motion. The negative-pressure of Cupping stimulates fascia tissue which becomes more pliable enabling significant movement, and facilitates blood circulation, and helps with the appearance of cellulite. Noteworthy-this therapy causes temporary redness, as the blood is brought closer to the skin's surface.
Silicone Cups, up to twelve, can be added to our 60 or 90 mins sessions. They will be used for 15 of those minutes for a $25 add-on fee, upon your request and/or approval.
Pillow Pedi
Incorporate this luxurious, exfoliating foot scrub, with a full body massage. You won't have to leave the table, making this experience indescribable!
Existing calluses (if any) are gently sanded down; feet and ankles are gently exfoliated with sugar scrub or Himalayan salt glow, then cleansed with warm citrus (or rose) water and wrapped with soft, (very) warm towels. After a generous application of rose-clay masks the feet, are insulated in wrap to hydrate the newer epithelial layer.
The mask is removed with fresh steamed towels; at which point, the feet and legs (to the knee) are massaged with rich body butters before the final step; applying your chosen Shellac® color, from which we have many to choose. Worry-free gel polish is used to avoid smudging.
The end-result "...Feels like walking on clouds!"
A worthwhile stand-alone service, and a definite compliment to any massage package.
**NEW As seasons change, don't forget to request your hand's paraffin treatment. Pampers nicely with this service.
