Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue massage concentrates on the deep muscle layers and fascia in the body. Medical Doctors and Chiropractic Doctors often recommend this type of therapy for patients with acute pain. By using deep pinpointed pressure, moderate stretching, and slow, firm strokes, Deep Tissue is used to treat a variety of physical ailments and muscular imbalances.

A Deep Tissue massages therapist uses medium to heavy pressure and focuses to releases patterns of tension in the body. If you consistently feel tension in any muscle group, we recommend Deep Tissue for you.

Neuromuscular

Neuromuscular Massage

Neuromuscular massage therapy works well on athletes and other persons with injuries and pains caused by repetitive motions. This type of massage helps improve blood circulation, relieve compression of pinched or tender nerves, break up scar tissue and can help improve posture (especially when combined with a Yoga program).

Neuromuscular Massage therapists use little lotion, stretching, muscle stripping, and resistance exercises to work through connective tissue and deep muscular imbalances. If you deal with chronic pain or suffer from new or old injuries we highly recommend NMT for you.
