Our Techniques

Our team includes two massage therapists who offer a wide range of techniques that they will tailor to your specific needs and goals.

Here are some of our most popular techniques:

This technique uses special cups to create suction on the skin, improving blood flow and promoting healing. It’s used for chronic pain, muscle tension, and poor circulation. The technique can benefit conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and respiratory issues. By enhancing circulation and relieving muscle tightness, cupping reduces pain and improves mobility.

Deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers using firm pressure and slow strokes. It addresses chronic muscle tension, pain, and stiffness. This type of massage can address back pain, muscle injuries, and postural problems, it can also reduce stress and improve range of motion. By breaking down adhesions and boosting circulation, it aids in restoring function and healing damaged tissues.

Dry needling addresses musculoskeletal pain by inserting thin needles into trigger points. Unlike acupuncture, it targets physical muscle knots and fascial restrictions. It stimulates healing, releases muscle tension, and improves blood flow. Helpful for chronic pain, myofascial pain syndrome, muscle spasms, and some headaches, dry needling is often combined with other therapies for better outcomes.

Remedial massage addresses specific musculoskeletal issues using techniques like deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and stretching. It addresses muscle strains, ligament sprains, joint pain, and postural imbalances. By targeting root causes of discomfort, it aims to restore movement, alleviate chronic pain, and prevent future injuries. It’s useful for injury recovery and ongoing musculoskeletal issues.

Be at your athletic best with sports massage. This type of massage caters to athletes and active individuals and focuses on performance enhancement, injury prevention, and recovery. It uses deep tissue work, stretching, and friction to address muscle tension and improve flexibility. Applied before, during, or after activity, sports massage prepares muscles for performance, reduces soreness, and accelerates recovery. It also manages chronic injuries and improves athletic function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is remedial massage?

Remedial massage is a hands-on therapy that targets sore spots, tight muscles, and injuries. Its goal is to get you feeling better and moving more freely.

What toxins are released after massage?

When you get a massage, your muscles let go of lactic acid and other waste products. This helps clean out your system and gets your blood flowing better.

What is a deep tissue massage?

Deep tissue massage digs into the layers of muscle beneath the surface. It targets stubborn aches, tight spots, and muscle knots, often using slow, strong pressure.

What to wear to a massage?

Opt for comfortable, loose-fitting attire or be prepared to undress to your level of comfort, typically down to undergarments. Rest assured, you’ll be appropriately draped with a sheet during the session.

How often should you get a massage?

It depends on what you need and want. For general wellbeing, once a month is fairly common. If you’re dealing with specific issues, you might need to go more often.

Can I have a back massage in early pregnancy?

Yes, but check with your doctor first. To keep you and your baby safe, make sure to find a massage therapist like our RMT Pat, who is well-trained in prenatal massage.
