Massage Therapy

Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health. Massage therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage therapy. Modern massage techniques can be traced back to the 1700s and the development of Swedish massage, the first systematic method of therapeutic massage based on physiology. Today’s Massage therapists use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to combine traditional Swedish and modern Massage therapy techniques with exercise and other therapies to treat their clients.

Cupping

Rather than applying pressure to muscles, a local suction is created on the skin to draw the skin, muscles & tissues upward. The benefit of cupping is to enhance circulation, relieve pain, remove heat, address adhesions from scar tissue & to pull out toxins that can linger in the body’s tissues. Cups may be left in pace or with the addition of an oil the cups can be utilized using a gliding massage. Each treatment is unique to your specific needs.
