Trigger Point Therapy
Medium to strong pressure
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 reduce referral pain in the neck. The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head. The pain may be sharp and intense or
a dull ache.
Trigger point massage therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of massage for trigger point therapy, the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort.
The results and benefits of trigger point massage are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. Receiving massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.
Swedish Massage
Light to medium pressure
Swedish Massage is the style that comes to mind when most people think about massage. The goal is to relax the entire body and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, bending and stretching.
Deep-Tissue Massage
Medium to strong pressure
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage but is used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension. The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief.
Sports Massage
Medium to strong pressure
Sports massage therapy is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The particulars of the sports massage technique are specific to the athlete's sport of choice. Focusing on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.
Aspects of sports massage therapy are gaining popularity as useful components in a balanced training regimen. Sports massage therapy can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event. Athletes have discovered that specially designed sports massage promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries and prepares their body and mind for optimal performance.
One of the key benefits of Sports massage therapy compared to other modalities is its ability to target muscle-tendon junctions. A 2010 study in the journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that even a 30-second massage improved hip-flexor range of motion. Another study conducted by Margaret Jones, Ph.D. of the American College of Sports Medicine, demonstrated a notable trend toward decreased muscle soreness in the athletes who received massage either before or after exercise.
For anyone participating in regular physical activity, Sports massage therapy every week or two may be a great addition to your normal regimen. It's best to talk with one of our professional massage therapists to find a plan that will work best with your schedule, level of activity and budget.
Pregnancy Massage
For expectant mothers
Our pregnancy massage incorporates elements of the Swedish massage and is designed to relieve muscular aches and pains in your joints as well as reducing anxiety, which can be common in pregnant mothers. Regular pregnancy massages have also been shown to significantly reduce the amount of cortisol (the stress hormone) in the body, improve labour and help you to feel more relaxed and rejuvenated.
Foot Reflexology Massage
Foot reflexology is a "pressure therapy" that involves applying focused pressure to certain known reflex points located in the foot to cure or prevent disease. It is a complimentary therapy, intended for use alongside conventional medical care and not as a replacement of it.
-Benefits of Foot Reflexology
-Induces a state of deep relaxation by opening neural pathways
-A reflexology session stimulates more than 7,000 nerves, encouraging the opening and cleansing of neural pathways,
-Increases circulation, improving blood flow throughout the body
-Cleanses the body of toxins and impurities
-Stimulates the central nervous system
-Stimulates energy work throughout the body
-Balances the whole system thus revitalizing the body's natural energy flow
The healing power of touch is instinctive in human nature & when we formalize that instinctive touch into massage, it becomes a powerful healing tool.
When muscles overworked, waste products such as lactic acid can accumulate in them, causing soreness, stiffness & even muscle spasm. Massage improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen to body tissues. This can assist elimination of waste products, speeds healing after injury, and enhance recovery from disease.
