Active Release Technique<\/h3>

ART treatment is a unique protocol that consists of very precise, targeted movements, most of which are done by the patient. Each ART session is different and custom-created to treat the patient\u2019s problem depending on the location and severity of the symptoms. Over 500 different hand motions are used by trained ART practitioners to evaluate a patient\u2019s condition, locate areas of tightness that signify tissue damage, and then to help the patient move in a way that releases the affected tissue through \u201cdirected tension and very specific movements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Prenatal Massage<\/h3>

Pregnancy is a magical time in any woman’s life. However, the dramatic changes that take place in your body as your pregnancy progresses can add stress to weight-bearing joints, cause painful backaches, and result in uncomfortable symptoms ranging from headaches and digestive problems to sciatica and chronic muscle tension. Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce these symptoms as well as improve labor outcomes and newborn health. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Thai Massage<\/h3>

Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions. The recipient remains clothed during treatment. There is constant body contact between the giver and receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The massage generally follows designated lines (“sen”) in the body. The legs and feet of the giver can be used to position the body or limbs of the recipient. In other positions, hands fix the body, while the feet do the massaging.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Cupping<\/h3>
Cupping is a form of massage therapy that decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues.\u00a0 During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup.<\/div>\n
Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful.\u00a0 The sensation that is experienced is a pulling of the skin as the cup is moved in a rolling fashion.\u00a0 Redness or a feeling of warmth is usually experienced after the release of the cup due to increased blood flow to the area.<\/div>\n
Almost anyone can benefit from cupping.\u00a0 It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, scars, and general pain.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Deep Tissue<\/h3>
Deep tissue massage is exactly what it sounds like: massage that affects deep tissues and musculature<\/strong>. Chronic muscle pain and tension require slower, more deliberate strokes that aim at reaching and loosening specific fascial adhesions.
\nWe use this and many other techniques to help manage and alleviate our client’s pain.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
