TYPES OF Massage
Therapeutic Massage
$105 / 60 min
Therapeutic Massage is a specialized massage technique designed to address specific health concerns, such as pain management, stress reduction, and injury recovery. It involves the use of various massage modalities, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and trigger point therapy, to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Therapeutic massage can help improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, promote relaxation, and accelerate healing processes.
Craniosacral Massage
$105 / 60 min
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on the subtle rhythms of the craniosacral system. This system includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By applying very light pressure to specific points on the head, spine, and sacrum, therapists can help release tensions and restrictions within the body.
Lymphatic massage
$105 / 60 min
Lymphatic massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system. This intricate network of vessels and nodes plays a crucial role in removing waste products and toxins from the body.
During a lymphatic massage, the therapist uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage the flow of lymph fluid. This can help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the immune system. Lymphatic massage is often used to treat conditions such as lymphedema, a chronic condition caused by a buildup of lymph fluid in the tissues. It can also be beneficial for post-surgical recovery, fibromyalgia, and general detoxification.
