Thai Massage:
Try our 90 minute or 2 hour Traditional Thai Massage. We combine
Northern and Southern style Thai massage adjusting the sen (energy
lines) of the body through acupressure, palming, and extensive
stretching. Thai massage is often called “passive yoga” or "lazy man's yoga" and greatly
assists in rebalancing the body and increasing flexibility. Traditional
Thai massage is done fully clothed on a mat on the floor and requires
loose comfortable clothes, preferably natural fibers. |

Zen Shiatsu - A Japanese style of massage that treats the energy meridians of the body to unblock the flow of ki and help the body meridians and organs rebalance. Usually done fully clothed on a mat on the floor. Involves acupressure, palming, and stretching. Requires loose comfortable clothes, preferably natural fibers. Swedish Massage - Relaxing oil-based treatment involving a combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, light to medium friction, and in some cases vibration or percussion. Increases circulation of blood and lymph, relaxes, and may assist with injury recovery and release of scar tissue adhesions. Deep Tissue Sports Massage – Massage,
often focused on specific problem areas in the sub-layer of musculature
and fascia, intended to increase flexibility, free adhesions, reduce
chronic pain, and assist with injury prevention or rehabilitation.
Usually starts and ends with Swedish relaxation techniques but involves
deeper pressure, more friction, and focus on specific problem areas
rather than the whole body. Can be done with or without oil. If
you would like a thorough full body deep tissue massage focusing on more
than 1 problem area, at least 90 minutes is needed and 2 hours is
better. Integrative Massage – Integration
of two or more massage styles, often focusing on problem areas. You
can specify what you want or leave it to us. We normally incorporate
some shiatsu into nearly every massage and can easily incorporate some
Thai Massage. Aromatherapy– The use of essential oils from herbs, flowers, resins, woods, and roots to assist with treatment. Essential oils may be mixed in the massage oil in an oil-based massage or in some cases may be applied directly. Essential oils may also be used in a diffuser or poultices and may be used on linens or in hydrotherapy treatments. Various oils can be used to greatly assist with relaxation or stimulation and may also be potent mood enhancers. May not be appropriate for people with allergies or for women who are pregnant or attempting to get pregnant. Foot Reflexology–
Foot massage that focuses on pressure points and “reflex points” in the
foot that correspond to the parts of the body, including specific
organs and glands. Stimulating the appropriate regions is intended to
eliminate energy blockages to help the body to rebalance itself and to
reduce pain in the related areas. |
