Treatment Modalities

Swedish massage

Swedish massage focuses on improving circulation of blood and lymph and relaxing superficial muscles.

Myofascial release

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain, help drain the lymphatic system and restore range of motion.

Trigger-point therapy

A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back, for example, may produce referral pain in the neck. Receiving massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.

Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, lymphatic drainage, inflammation, improved blood flow, relaxation and mental well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
