Massage therapy descriptions

The center offers a variety of healing massage therapies in order to address the individual needs of each client.

Acupressure and Shiatsu
Asian styles that are focused on energy flow using finger pressure massage on individual points along the body. Blocked energy is released through this process relieving physical, emotional, and spiritual discomfort. The energy flow is then restored and rebalanced.

Kriya
Massage that combines energy work with classic massage techniques for the purpose of balancing one’s energy and eliminating stress.

Myotherapy
Also called trigger-point release, Myotherapy utilizes concentrated finger or elbow pressure on specific painful or irritated points on the muscles. The focus is on breaking the cycle of spasm and pain in these troubled areas. All of these massage modalities are used in combinations specific to the individual needs of the client.

Reflexology
Reflexology is the physical act of applying specific pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to the soles of the feet, palms of the hands and ears. There are zones and reflex areas which correspond to all body parts. Reflexology can result in stress reduction, causing relaxation and a physiological change in the body.

Swedish Massage
The most familiar therapy, Swedsh Massage is generally the basis for a full-body massage resulting in relaxation, enhanced circulation and range of motion, and tension relief.
