We also offer the following Massage
Therapy treatments:
Swedish
Massage
Soothing,
fluid, continuous strokes of varying depths ranging from superficial
to deep. The techniques are designed to encourage the relaxation
of muscle groups by increasing circulation and decreasing associated
tension. Incorporates joint motion and stretching to increase rehabilitative
effects when addressing soft tissue injury.
Myofascial
Release
Myofascial
release uses greater depth – with no oil – to help promote
the release of deeper body structures. Combining tissue torquing
and myotonic stretching, this type of massage is suitable for treating
restrictive tissue tension. Coupled with Swedish massage, myofascial
techniques enhance the intensity of the treatment.
Reiki
Level I
The
word “Reiki”is made up of two separate Japanese characters.
“Rei” contains a variety of meanings such as spirit,
soul, sacred and respect. “Ki” is the energy or life
force. Reiki can be incorporated into either of the above treatments,
using both hands on techniques, and techniques to affect the energy
field surrounding the body. Reiki aims to eliminate negative energy
and re-direct positive energy to areas where it will be most beneficial.
