Modalities in our toolbox…
-
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage dives deep into your muscles, working out knots and tension that linger beneath the surface. Imagine a skilled therapist using firm pressure and slow strokes to reach those hidden layers, like a sculptor meticulously chiseling away at a block of stone. It's not always the gentlest experience, and some discomfort is to be expected as the therapist works on those stubborn knots.
-
Trigger Point
Trigger point massage targets tight, knotted muscles by applying focused pressure to relieve pain and tension. This can be done manually by a therapist or using self-massage tools like balls or foam rollers. While it can be uncomfortable, the pressure aims to release trigger points, potentially improving blood flow and easing referred pain in other areas.
-
TMJ Massage
TMJ massage focuses on relieving pain and tension in the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. It can be a helpful natural therapy for those suffering from temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which can cause jaw pain, clicking, popping, and even headaches.
-
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release gently stretches and lengthens the body's fascial web, targeting stiff areas to improve flexibility and reduce pain. Unlike Trigger Point massage, it focuses on broader fascial tissues instead of isolated knots. Gentle, sustained pressure helps release tension, potentially improving range of motion and reducing chronic pain.
-
Cupping and Medicupping™
Both cupping and MediCupping™ use suction cups to draw blood for potential healing benefits like pain relief and increased circulation. While traditional cupping relies on manually controlled cups, MediCupping™ employs a machine for precise pressure and broader applications like scar tissue release.
-
Reiki Energy Work
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
