Benefits of SMRT include decreased inflammation, longer-lasting results compared to deep tissue, affecting more tissue – not just muscles, including ligaments, and tendons, fascia, access to internal structures such as in joints and the pelvic girdle, and resolution of trigger points without painful pressure.
Sports Massage
Using deep kneading, compression, stretching and other muscle release techniques, deep/sports massage is typically experienced as painful in a 'good' way. The goal is to release difficult or locked muscles to increase range of motion and create freedom. We only recommend Deep Tissue if you can take a lot of pressure or don't mind experiencing the pain that precedes muscle release.
Hot Stone Massage
Prenatal Massage
Because a woman's pelvic bones become soft during pregnancy, hip, low-back and mid-back pain are common symptoms that are routinely addressed with massage therapy. Through the gentle attention to muscles, fascia and lymph by palpating, kneading and the application of smooth strokes over areas of pain or discomfort, prenatal massage can provide a heightened level of increased well-being, flexibility and pain relief.
Thai Massage
Thai Massage specifically uses Sen or energy channels within the body to restore health. It involves manipulation of the body using more than just the practitioner’s hands. Thai incorporates use of arms, fists, shoulders, elbows, hips, feet, and knees to apply pressure along Sen lines to activate the energy pathways. In addition to pressure, the body is stretched. A mat is often used to allow more space, greater pressure, and stability. Thai massage can also be done on a table.
