Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pain and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
This treatment program is designed for athletes under constant and rigorous daily or weekly training - from runners to hockey and football players, to clients who follow a strict workout or gym routine.
For this treatment, we require clients to arrive at their appointment in gym clothes because this will help our stretching session be easier for you. The session will start off with a 30-minute stretching focused on your areas of need. After this, the therapist will step out briefly to allow you to prepare and change for the massage session, for 90 minutes. With this new advanced program, we offer complimentary hotel towels, hot stones, and BioFreeze as needed.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Cupping therapy is a massage technique that is paired in combination with a deep tissue massage. Plastic cups are applied to an area for a few minutes forming a vacuum between the cup and skin. This technique is used to loosen tight muscles, help with inflammation, and increase blood flow.
