Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress more deeply while allowing the experience to be relaxing and rejuvenating.
Therapeutic massage incorporates multiple modalities, such as :
Acupressure:
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
Swedish:
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing therapeutic modality of bodywork. It utalizes oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the tbody 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.
Deep Tissue:
Deep Tissue Massage is a modality of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. It is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released.
Hot Stone:
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are used to release tension by being placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation. The overall experience can be relaxing and rejuvenating.
Essential Oils: Therapeutic grade Essential Oils are applied to the skin, as well as diffused into the air. They can dramatically improve the effectiveness of any modalities used in a therapeutic massage session.
Dynamic/ Traditional Cupping:
Dynamic cupping is a combination of massage, negative pressure, and ROM.
Traditional Cupping is an ancient practice of static negative pressure placed on key points of the body.
Both modalities improve circulation, cell repair, flexibility, reduction of tension, and pain relief.
