Lomi Lomi

 

Hawaiian massage that connects the heart, mind, body and soul integrating deep tissue, therapeutic and gently relaxing rhythmic strokes with the use of forearms and elbows. 

 

Deep Tissue

 

A technique that utilizes deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage to affect the sub-layer of musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation while reducing inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. 

 

Sports

 

Sports massage is designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery; concentrating on pre-event, post-event and injury treatment. The intent here is to calm the nervous system and begin the process of flushing toxins and waste products out of the body. Post-event massage can reduce recovery time, enabling an athlete to resume training much sooner than rest alone. When an athlete sustains an injury, skillful massage therapy can often speed and improve the quality of healing. 

 

Swedish

 

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 using a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements. Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions and improved circulation which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury. 

 

Foot Reflexology

 

A treatment that ensures energy flows through the body in meridians from the brain to the feet while every organ and cell has a representative point on the foot. When pressure is applied, the body facilitates healing and balance. Temporary pain is felt on areas of the foot that correspond to the affected organ or body part. When the pain is relieved or reduced the healing process has begun.
