Therapeutic Massage

About Massage
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft-tissues of the body. It helps to ease stress and muscular tension; relieve pain from injuries; and speed healing from certain acute and chronic conditions. In some cases, massage can reduce or even eliminate the need for medication or surgery. Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative. A course of massage treatments, used as a form of regular health care maintenance, will bring the most benefits.

Your Personalized Plan
On your first visit, your massage therapist will ask you about your medical history, your current physical condition and review any referring practitioner's recommendations. Your massage therapist will then assess your problem area and any pain you may be experiencing to help determine the best approach for your treatments.

Based on this assessment, your massage therapist will decide on a personalized plan that will focus on your specific health and wellness requirements. The appropriate frequency, duration and number of massage sessions for you will depend on your condition, its severity and how long you have had it, as well as your general health.

Craniosacral Massage

Craniosacral therapy is a hands-on healing technique which assists the body's natural ability for self-repair. It involves gentle releases of the soft tissue and bones of the head (cranium); the spine down to its tail end (the sacral area); and the pelvis. Treatment helps alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction that may include sensory, motor or neurological disabilities.

When your therapist incorporates this technique into your massage treatment, you not only benefit from a central nervous system free of restrictions, but also a body that's able to return to its greatest levels of performance.

Thai Massage

Thai Massage has a long history of therapeutic healing in Thailand and has been practiced for centuries. It is considered the "lazy man's yoga" and incorporates various stretching positions and pressure points applied to the meridian lines during the treatment. Working on these energy lines will help to remove any blockages and allow the energy to flow freely through the body.

Thai massage is beneficial for all systems of the body, especially the circulatory, musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory and digestive systems. It helps to relieve pain; promote healing; and maintain health and wellness.
