What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage is an ancient healing technique used for thousands of years in oriental and Ayurvedic medicine and has gained popularity in Western medicine. The time required for massage therapy varies depending on the treatment. Our massage services include:
- Sports Massage: Helps relieve pain from common sports injuries.
- Deep Tissue Massage: Firm pressure and slow strokes applied to reach tissues below the surface.
- Hot Stone Massage: Heated stones, often marble, are placed at specific body points or rubbed on the skin.
- Orthopedic Massage: Focused on soft tissue rehabilitation after an injury, such as an auto accident.
- Myofascial Release: Used to relieve connective tissue restrictions.
- Prenatal Massage: Relieves pregnancy-induced back pain and promotes an easier delivery.
- Lymphatic Drainage: Decreases lymph fluid build-up.
- Gua Sha Massage: Scraping the skin with a special tool.
- Thai Massage: Applies compression, pulling, rocking, and stretching.
- Swedish Massage: Primarily for relaxation.
What Is Acupuncture?
In traditional Chinese medicine, energy flow is a basic element of health. When energy is blocked due to injury, stress, or disease, it can cause health problems. Acupuncture and the related discipline of acupressure target meridians, through which energy flows. Our acupuncture services include:
- Needle Acupuncture: Sterile stainless steel or gold needles are placed in specific areas, known as acupoints.
- Cupping: Heated suction cups are used to remove toxins, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow.
- Laser Therapy: Low-intensity lasers are used to stimulate acupoints.
Aromatherapy
In addition to massage and acupuncture, we offer aromatherapy services. Essential oils have been used for hundreds of years to help people relax, support the immune system, promote healing, and improve various body functions. For example:
- Lavender: Soothing and relaxing.
- Peppermint: Stimulating and refreshing.
- Tea Tree Oil: Effective against fungal infections.
Whether you want to relax, heal after an injury, or promote overall wellness, massage therapy and acupuncture can help.
