Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage therapy focuses on specific myofascial restrictions, physical and musculoskeletal injury & dysfunction, pre & post-surgical care, acute & chronic pain, and systemic conditions. A combination of manual therapy techniques is used to achieve therapeutic goals.
Relaxation Massage
Massage can help your body and mind come to a state of relaxation and greater presence. Manual techniques are used to ease restrictions, promote the release of natural endorphins to ease pain and experience the presence of our physical body. There is great therapeutic value in stepping out of our busy lives and experiencing a restful and present state of being.
