Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage targets deep muscles and connective tissue. Chronic tension, injury, and stress can cause these tissues to bind or become hypertensive. Left untreated, these tight areas put stress on the musculoskeletal system and reduce healthy blood flow to the affected area. This treatment releases these binds, aligning deep muscle fibers to change posture and create freedom of movement, reducing chronic pain and stiffness.

Cupping Therapy

An ancient Chinese method of clearing local congestion/stagnation/toxicity within the body. Cupping is a very effective form of physical and emotional release. The cups can impact the body’s processes deeply into the tissues, allowing the release of toxins, activating the lymphatic system, removing stagnation, and encouraging the flow of new blood and body fluids, as well as qi. Cupping is useful, safe, and can be added to any modality of treatment, for many indications, to enhance the results. Because of it’s unique use of negative pressure, cupping can often have an incredible impact in the healing process.
