There are basically two types of massage, relaxation and therapeutic, in other words…feel good and fixing. Below are some of the techniques we use to help achieve what you are looking for.

Deep Tissue Massage

Gets that stabbing, throbbing, piercing pain out of your head, shoulder, hip, etc.

Slow strokes and deep pressure are used to release deeply-held patterns of tension in the body. Designed to reach the deep portions of thick muscles, specifically the individual muscle fibers. Using deep muscle compression and friction along the grain of the muscle, its purpose is to unstick the fibers of the muscles and release both toxins and deeply held patterns of tension.

CranioSacral Massage

This is the massage therapists version of a chiropractors adjustment. You could call it a soft tissue adjustment.

A technique for finding and correcting cerebral and spinal imbalances or blockages that may cause sensory, motor or intellectual dysfunction. Practitioners work with the subtle articulations of skull sutures, and the flow of cerebra-spinal fluid. Kyron is the only therapist trained in this particular technique.

Swedish Massage

The most relaxing of all the techniques. It will easily put you in the “massage zone” or fall asleep, whichever comes first.

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. A sheet covers the disrobed client, with only the area being worked on exposed. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive and tapping movements with the application of oil to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.

Reiki

Healing touch where the therapists hand warm up and it feels relaxing like that point between being awake and asleep.

Buddhist in nature, reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) is the combining of universal energy with individual energy to open pathways of healing. It teaches that disease is not separate from the body; it is the body out of balance. Rediscovered by Japanese Buddhist and Christian scholar of theology Mikao Usui around 1921, this energy healing method involves placing the hands on or just above the body in order to align chakras and bring healing energy to organs and glands. The practitioner uses a passive touch that some clients experience with a warmth or tingling.  Treatments work by dissolving or eliminating toxic energy. This works to strengthen the harmonic flow of energy within the body.

Myofascial Release

This technique helps the muscles unwind so you can feel less bound up and more comfortable living.

Myofascial release (MFR) is a technique for working with fascia as a means of achieving pain relief, restoring function and reducing stress.
