Sport Performance Massage 

An orthopedic structural assessment will be given in the beginning of the session to assess range of motion and what actions can be enhanced for the client. The treatment focuses on a predetermined area based on the assessment. The clients will also receive treatment on the compensating areas of the body. After the treatment the patient is tested to see how well the treatment has worked, and a treatment plan will be given. The patient will also be given the appropriate stretches and home care then needed for a more accelerated inclusive treatment.

RAPID Neurofascial Reset Therapy

Is a neurologically based, active, therapeutic technique that addresses the central nervous systems role in alleviating tension and restrictions within the body. RAPID is an evidence based manual therapy technique that can be used by all health care professionals to quickly and effectively eliminate pain in their patients.

​

Some of the conditions that can be quickly resolved with RAPID-NFR include:

• Headaches/Migraines

• Back pain 

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 

• Shin splints 

• Shoulder pain 

• Sciatica 

• Plantar Fasciitis 

• Knee problems 

• Tennis/Golfers Elbow 

• Whiplash

• TMJ

• Frozen shoulder

• Bursitis

• Bunions and arthritic joints

• Neurological Hypersensitivity

 

Using nociception and movement, RAPID induces a combination of descending inhibition within the nervous system, and a powerful increase in vasodilation. These together offer near immediate and lasting pain reduction in our patients.​

Deep Tissue Massage

​Deep tissue involves working and acting on the body with more pressure than a basic relaxation massage. Deeper tissues are targeted, and  focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles. It is used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.

Some of the strokes are the same as those used in classic relaxation massage therapy but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain in order to reach the sub-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).

​

Therapeutic Massage

​A therapeutic massage is a massage that addresses pain and restriction In this type of massage, all areas are assessed for any pain and restrictions,identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort. The results and benefits of therapeutic massage are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain and increasing range of motion. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. Receiving massage with various therapeutic techniques on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.

 

Relaxation/Swedish Massage

​The most common type of massage is Swedish massage therapy. It involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles. This is also combined with movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, the main focus of Swedish therapy is relaxation and to shut down the CNS.

 

Lymphatic Drainage 

Lymphatic massage, also called lymphatic drainage or manual lymph drainage, is a technique developed in Germany for treatment of lymphedema, an accumulation of fluid that can occur after lymph nodes are removed during surgery, most often a mastectomy for breast cancer. It can also be used as a preventative treatment in assuring proper lymphatic system circulation and drainage.

​

Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy massage is created differently each time designed for the comfort and pain relief of each patient. As the body grows and changes each visit created different problem areas. The hips are supported and give the patient a much needed break from the constant strain on the lower lumbar. Giving the practitioner the ability to get good pressure that is needed on the hips. If the pillow is not comfortable side-lying can be done as well.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone massage therapy uses smooth, water-heated lava rocks at key points on the body. Hot stone inecreases circulation and metabolism

The direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers. Combining hot stone protocols with massage provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.

• Provides relief from pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other chronic conditions

• Decreases pain and muscle spasms

• Reduces chronic stress and tension

• Increases flexibility in joints, aiding in easier mobility and movement

• Relieves pain and tension created by strained and contracted muscle

​

Myofascial Cupping Massage

Cups are used to gentle suction and pull up on the tissues and fascia while moving across the superficial tissues. Blood is drawn to the surface as is the fascia pulled and moved. This massage helps relieve tension, detoxify the body and ease fascial tension.​​​​​
