Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy?

We offer three types of massage therapy: therapeutic, relaxation and Active Release Therapy.

Therapeutic Massage

A deeper massage using Swedish techniques with oil that focuses on releasing tension, increasing circulation and promoting tissue mobility.

Relaxation Massage

Massage using Swedish techniques with oils to promote relaxation; reducing your stress, aches and pain, thus enhancing your vitality and good health.

Active Release Therapy

Active Release Therapy is a highly successful treatment not only for athletes, but for anyone who leads an active life, sits at a computer all day, or enjoys gardening. Many daily activities cause repetitive stress and the formation of scar tissue, which hinders the movement and function of soft tissues.  Repetitive strain creates symptoms of pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, numbness and weakness.

Active Release Techniques Soft Tissue Management System (A.R.T.®) is the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue injuries, which are a result of repetitive stress or trauma such as whiplash. ART heals injuries by locating scar tissue and applying tension to the scar tissue while lengthening muscles, tendons and ligaments, returning tissues to their correct tension, texture, movement and function thus eliminating symptoms.
