Treatments

Sports massage was designed in aid of helping athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage emphasizes the prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons. But you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage. Sports massage is also good for people with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion. The massage therapist generally concentrates on a specific problem area. This type of massage is a lot deeper than your typical Swedish massage.

The common type of massage requested to reduce stress and increase relaxation is Swedish massage, during this treatment the therapist uses oil or lotion with several basic strokes that are applied with light to medium pressure, depending on the client’s preference. If you just need to relax and have a little tension that needs some work this is the treatment for you.

Spinal manipulation, also called spinal manipulative therapy or manual therapy, it combines moving and jolting joints, massage, exercise, and physical therapy. Designed to relieve pressure on joints, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function. It’s often used to treat back, neck, shoulder, and headache pain. This treatment comes inclusive with any massage I offer.
