Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) or Trigger-point therapy applies concentrated finger pressure to "trigger points"- painful irritated areas in muscles- in order to break the cycle of spasm and pain. Trigger points are often caused by repetitive strain on a muscle or a trauma that the muscle received i.e. whiplash, sports injuries, etc. This therapy involves communication between the client and Therapist to help locate the trigger point and any referred pain that is associated with them.
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.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage 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 from the deep tissue during the session.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune function.

Lomi Lomi
is a traditional Hawaiian style massage that is characterized by
fluid, continuous, and sweeping strokes – much like long, rolling waves
traveling along the body. A fair amount of oil and minimal cover is used to
reduce any ebb to the continuous whole-body flow of the massage. The
massage may be slow and relaxing or faster and more invigorating,
depending on what the client is wanting.
Connective Tissue Massage (Fascia)
is a form of bodywork that involves slow
movement along the skin. Fascial tension can be caused by physical or emotional trauma, injury, or habitual movement or postural patterns. By relieving this tension, the fascia returns to its normal, flexible state, allowing muscles and organs to function normally. This release results in pain relief and improved range of motion.
