Swedish and Deep Tissue

60 or 90 minute sessions

Swedish massage is usually what most people think of as massage. Techniques include effleurage (long slow strokes along the muscle fibers), petrissage (wringing and twisting the muscles across the muscle fibers) and cross-fiber friction (using your thumbs and elbows to work out specific points going against the muscle fibers.) Deep Tissue massage includes the above and adds long, slow muscle stripping along the length of the muscles, using thumbs and elbows or selected massage tools. The goal for both massages is to break up the muscle fibers that are stuck together which will increase blood flow, rid the area of lactic acid and decrease pain. In addition, both styles stimulate nerve pathways, calm the nervous systems and just plain feel good!

Hot Stones

75 minute session – Not available at this time

Hot Stone massage is a combination of the techniques mentioned above plus the use of preheated stones to warm and work the muscle tissues. Stones are also placed along the spine on your back and along chakra points on your front to relax you and prepare your muscles for massage. The stones add a grounding quality to the massage and the occasional sound of them clinking together will make you think you’re creekside.
