Healing Your Body with Massage
Massage therapy targets the source of one’s pain through eliminating tense muscles, increasing flexibility, and providing relaxation to the affected muscles and the body as a whole.
Massage therapy has many benefits which help to ease muscle pain, soothes anxiety and depression, boosts the immune system and helps to improve sleep. It can also help to relieve headaches, improve circulation and counteract the many hours that we sit down throughout the day. Massage will also help to improve one’s posture and overall general health.

Cupping Massage
Cupping therapy involves creating a small area of low pressure next to the skin. A variety of tools can be used to accomplish this. The most common being a mechanical pump.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy is similar to a Swedish massage therapy but focused on individuals who participate in sports and are looking to help prevent injuries.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage therapy involves using long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration, and tapping to help relax and restore the function of the body.
Trigger Point Massage
Trigger point massage therapy is focused on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in muscles due to poor movement patterns and overuse.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage centers on realigning the deeper layers of connective and muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the tense areas, either following or going across the fiber’s of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
