Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and also increase range of motion. If you are elderly, geriatric massage can help you maintain and improve your overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced due to aging. In addition, since the elderly don't typically receive enough physical touch, this massage can also help alleviate symptoms of loneliness or depression.
Therapeutic massage is a massage modality that uses a combination of techniques to reach a shared goal between the client and therapist. Therapeutic massage helps to relieve pain, decrease stress, increase range of motion and works on a specific problem. The massage session is tailored to the client’s specific needs and may vary from session to session. Therapeutic massage is typically a series of sessions based on meeting a specific goal and may be part of a larger treatment plan often recommended by a health professional.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are used to massage your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. I incorporate hot stones in every massage at no additional charge. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
