What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the practice of massaging the hands and feet to increase blood flow to the organs and thereby increase functionality of the organs. Because blood flow moves from the main arteries of the arms and legs through the capillaries in the hands and feet, by massaging the hands and feet, blood flow is increased to the organs. Every part of the hands and feet correlate to different organs in the body due to the veins that connect them; tight spots in the hands and feet correlate to areas of stress within the corresponding organs. Reflexology is a technique used to increase a patient's overall health and decrease stress on the organs.
What is a Sports Massage?
Athletes use their bodies to their full potential, pushing their muscles to the extreme. Sports Massage is a faster paced massage that focus on massaging the muscles, stretching the muscles, and increased range of motion. Athletes use this massage as part of their training regimen.
What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish Massage is a gentle yet firm massage. The Swedish Massage focuses on a slighter but thorough pressure to gently warm and massage the muscles of the body. Swedish massage uses a therapist's hands and forearms to give a soothing yet effective massage.
What is a Deep Tissue Massage?
A Deep Tissue Massage uses a firm pressure to massage the muscles and to break down "knots" in the muscles. Overuse of muscles, muscles strain, and sometimes just daily stress create the formation of knots. Knots or tightness in the muscles are often a buildup of lactic acid. Just as your body produces lactic acid when we are more active, lactic acid is produced during everyday activities as well. When we are stressed, our bodies go into overdrive to compensate for the stress to our system. Without proper sitting, standing, stretching, and water drinking, our bodies build up lactic acid and muscles become tight. Deep Tissue relieves this build up and focuses on loosening the muscles.
What is a Tailor-fit Massage?
Clients perform a range of activities unique to their lifestyles. By informing the massage therapist of your pain levels and activities, she is able to perform a range of different techniques to alleviate your pain and symptoms. Your massage therapist may also design and implement a treatment plan for your specific needs so that each massage will progress and deepen treatment.
