Descriptions of Therapies

Massage

Some of the more commonly used styles of massage therapy

Therapeutic

Therapeutic massage is a general term that describes any type of massage modality that hel.ps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on a specific problem—such as a frozen shoulder. People tend to assume therapeutic massage means deep tissue massage, and that they will get a very strong massage, but the therapy is as unique as the practitioner and the client.

Swedish

The Swedish massage is one of the most common types of massages you can get. It is performed to energize the body and improve overall health. This type of massage involves long slow strokes to apply ail or lotion, and petrissage, actions like percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling.

Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage but with a deep tissue massage, your therapist applies slow, firm pressure to release muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).

Energy Work

Techniques and practices to move energy, release tension, create a sense of peaceful flow and connection.

Reiki

The Reiki ("ray-key") method of healing was founded in Japan on the revelation and understanding of the body’s energy system. It is a gentle hands-on treatment for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. You remain fully clothed.

Auras & Chakras

Your Aura is your energy field. Chakras are specific centers in your energetic field. An energy practitioner can work with your energy field and teach you to clear your field and also to ground. Energy practitioners (or light workers) can also work with you to connect and disconnect from relationships, places, and events.

Namaste means "the light in me bows to the light in you."

Happy Body, Peaceful Mind, Joyful Life.
