Swedish Massage(Relaxation Massage) is best known for its smooth, broad gliding strokes called effleurage. The Therapist uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation and ease muscle tension. The pressure used can range from light to medium. Commonly used to support the long-term health and rehabilitative care of individuals and athletes. The long flowing movements increases circulation and relieves muscle tension which results in your body's total relaxation.
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve specific pain areas and muscle tension throughout the body. The pressure used can range from light to very firm. This type of massage is extremely beneficial because it reaches the deepest layer of muscles, fascia, and tendons. The goal in deep tissue massage is to break down adhesions in the muscle, which is very important to address since they are the main cause of pain, inflammation and limit range of motion of the muscles and joints.

Hot Stone Hot stone massage is a natural therapy in which warmed stones are positioned on parts of the client's body to maximize the therapeutic benefit. Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The softly penetrating heat can be deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply without the client feeling pain.
Hot Stone Massage One Hour $110
Reflexology Reflexology is an alternative therapeutic treatment based on the idea that the body has an inner network of reflex points that connect to other organs and systems. The reflex points that are targeted are in the hands, feet and ears, but are connected to body systems and internal organs. In a reflexology treatment session, pressure is applied to certain sections of feet, hands or other areas, the correlating body system or organs benefit from these specific pressures.
