Lymphatic drainage massage is used to relieve blockage caused by certain conditions: medical post-operative over secretion of tissue fluid and diseases (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic venous dysfunction, lipedema). When blockage occurs, it can cause lymphedema and pain in the local area. Lymphatic massage is used to drain the lymph fluid from the tissue to the lymph nodes to relieve swelling and pressure in the tissue and relieve pain.

This type of massage is the most well-known and widely practiced type of therapy with traditional manipulative techniques of effleurage, petrissage, vibration friction, and tapotement. The movement is slow and gentle. The benefits are reduced stress, improved immune system, increased blood flow, rehabilitation for muscle injuries, increased flexibility, and pain management.

Deep tissue massage involves manipulation of the deep tissue layers of the body, including the fascia and supportive tissue that make up muscles and joints. It is usually slower and firmer and normally focuses on certain areas of the body. It treats chronic back pain, reduces stress, anxiety, and muscle tension, and helps lower high blood pressure. It also breaks up scar tissue and quickens athletic injury recovery.

Sports massage is a technique focusing on specific problem areas like tight hamstring muscles and quads or sore IT bands, the areas most likely affected by exercise. When your muscles lock up and are tight, they are susceptible to being torn or injured. Sports massage keeps those muscles loose, prepares the athlete for their best performance, reduces fatigue, and relieves muscle swelling and tension. Sports massage will keep you in the game!

A trigger point is a sensitive area in the muscle or connective tissue (fascia) that becomes painful when compressed. When activated, trigger points can cause widespread pain, tension, irritation, and even lack of motion. A trigger point is activated if the area has undergone trauma, stress, overuse, or injury. Applying a moderate to deep pressure can create a dull, aching feeling to other areas of the body known as referral pain. Trigger point therapy helps eliminate pain, relieve tension and promote a better range of motion. It will also increase circulation and help muscles regain full function.

A hot stone massage is massage therapy involving heated stones. The heat of the stones relaxes muscles allowing the therapist access to deep muscle layers. Anyone who is experiencing muscle tension and pain, insomnia, or stress will benefit. Their sedative effect provides relief from fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other chronic conditions. Hot stone massage therapy also melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and reduces stress and anxiety, increases circulation, and promotes sleep.

Fascia is connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, nerves, and organs of the body. Connective tissue is elastic, allowing it to be lengthened. In a low hydration state or “gel” state, the body’s fascia shortens and adheres to surrounding layers of tissue. Tissue in the gel state, feels thick and dense to the touch. With conscious manipulation the fascia’s chemistry quickly transforms to a “sol state” In this state, the fascia is better hydrated.  This type of manipulation is a most powerful and effective means of body work. Practitioners employ long stretching strokes meant to balance tissue and muscle mechanics and improve joint range of motion in order to relieve pain and chronic tension, promote deep relaxation, enhance self-awareness, and improve posture.

Meridian massage, or “Tui Na”, is based on the traditional Chinese medical principles for assessing and treating the physical and energetic body and employs various methods of stimulating acupuncture points in order to regulate chi (the life force energy). The aim of this method is to achieve therapeutic changes in the person being treated to relieve pain and discomfort, improve vitality, energy, and organ and tissue functions.

During pregnancy, as the fetus grows, hormone levels increase, adding pressure on the blood vessels, muscles and bones. Symptoms may include muscle aches, low back pain, cramps, numbness and general bloating. Prenatal massage therapy can relieve muscle aches, joint pain and swelling, increase blood flow, promote the body's metabolism, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and reduce symptoms of depression. Additionally, massage can provide improved blood flow to the uterus, placenta and fetus, enhancing delivery of oxygen and nutrients and the removal of waste products, improving the tissue health of both mother and baby.
