Deep tissue massage is a style of massage that is designed to get into the connective tissue of the body, rather than just the surface muscles.  A variety of techniques are used to deeply penetrate the muscles and fascia, loosening them and releasing tension.  Deep tissue massage can benefit chronic injuries.  

 RAPID NeuroFascial Reset is a manual therapy technique that heavily features client movement. 

 Movement-based RAPID treatment is used to down-regulate an overstimulated central nervous system, which reduces tissue tension and increases blood flow to flush out the old leftovers of inflammation. 

Rebalancing is a holistic body work therapy that strives for comprehensive change in body, mind and emotion. 

With slow and deep strokes the therapist addresses the highly nerved connective tissue of the fascia and through that the learning zone of the body's regulating nervous system. 

This specialized approach, combining the lymphatic system, fluid movement, and gentle fascial release techniques, releases tightness, tension and pain, as well as congestion, inflammation, waste, and toxins from the body’s tissues. 

Rolfing is a type of therapy that involves deep manipulation of the body's connective tissues. 

It may help alleviate both muscular and psychological tension to realign and restore balance in the body. 

  The full in-person Abdominal Therapy treatment involves an external massage of your entire abdomen, back, hips, and sacrum. Massaging these areas systematically and thoroughly optimizes the circulation of all the systems in your body.   

 Sports massage therapy is both preventative and therapeutic and used for athletes during warm-ups, training and competition to treat and/or aid in the prevention of injuries.  It helps improve flexibility, range of motion and performance; not to mention, it aids in improving mental clarity.

 Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch form of bodywork designed to release physical and energetic restrictions from soft tissue, especially the fascia (connective tissue). Using a soft touch, generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions caused by accident, injury or emotional trauma thereby improving the physiological functioning of the entire body.  

The goal of this classic massage treatment is to relax the entire body through various techniques such as long, flowing strokes using light to medium pressure.  This massage is geared toward the ease of general body tension, and does not involve any deep tissue techniques.   The goal is to diminish stress, improve circulation and provide a deep sense of relief for the client.  

Sometimes people even fall asleep during a relaxation massage !

 A hot stone massage is a deep tissue massage that uses heated stones to promote relaxation and relieve tension.
