BODYWORK SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is used for chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC

Gentle, rhythmic strokes and pumping movements enhance the function of the lymphatic system thereby encouraging and supporting the body's natural defenses and ability to heal itself.

REIKI

 "Universal Life Energy" --- is a form of energy healing developed in late 19th-century Japan, though it's believed by many to be much older. Ki is the essence of life, and is present in all living things. Reiki

practitioners believe that blockages in this energy can lead to illness, injury and imbalance. During a Reiki healing session, ki is directed through the practitioner's hands and into the recipient's body to clear blockages and

balance their personal energies. No disrobing required for this treatment. A light hands on technique may be suggested but is not required.

SPORTS MASSAGE

A massage therapy to enhance athletic performance and recovery. There are four contexts in which sports massage can be useful to an athlete: pre-event, post-event, injury treatment, and maintenance.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

A classic, relaxing modality that focuses on improving circulation through manipulation of the muscles. Swedish massage relieves muscle tension and increases flexibility and mobility. Effleurage, petrissage and tapotement are a few of the techniques.
