Your massage will be customized according to your needs and may incorporate one or more of the following techniques:
| Service |
|---|
| Swedish (Relaxation) Massage • This type of massage promotes general relaxation by relieving stress and tension through the use of long, gliding strokes, kneading, and muscle stretching. Various lotions or oils are applied to the skin to facilitate the massage process. |
| Deep Tissue Massage • Specific muscle groups are targeted below the superficial layer in order to release pockets of restriction through the use of muscle stripping techniques and trigger point therapy. A minimal use of lubricants helps achieve better results by creating more friction. |
| Orthopedic/Sports Massage • Do you have chronic pain in an area of the body that has been diagnosed with a specific problem? Then this is the type of massage for you. Using active isolated stretching along with specific massage techniques, this massage work will aid the healing process for quicker recovery and in some cases may avoid surgical procedures. Several sessions in a close period of time are required in order for the body to realize the full therapeutic effects. |
| RNR Session™ (Reconnecting Neuromuscular Responses) • A neuromuscular technique in which the myofascial tissue is reorganized through information given to the golgi tendon organs. Golgi tendon organs are the nerve endings located in all soft tissue fibers. These golgi tendon organs reconnect the neurological and muscular responses. RNRT™ gives the golgi tendon organs information which allows the pain signal to be turned 'off' allowing splinting to stop and healing to begin. RNR™ requires no oil and can be done through clothes either in a sitting, standing or lying position. A full session can vary anywhere from 50 minutes - 70 minutes. Very effective for chronic pain, athletes, or clients rehabilitating from an injury or surgery. Rates: $70 for a 50 - 70 minute session |
| Prenatal/Postpartum Massage • This gentle massage is a wonderful way to relax, increase your energy, and relieve discomfort throughout your pregnancy and afterward. During your pregnancy, you will be comfortably supported with pillows or cushions. It is always a good idea to inform your doctor before receiving a prenatal/postpartum massage. |
| Baby's First Massage • Introduce your baby to the positive effects of massage within the first few weeks after birth. As a certified "Baby's First Massage" instructor, Shirl can teach a group or individual parents and caretakers how to use gentle strokes on their infant in order to aid with digestion, gas relief, and nervous system organization as the infant adjusts to a brand new world. Make this massage an integral part of your daily routine and see how your infant thrives and actually looks forward to it. Great baby shower gift! In-home service (with primary caretakers): $65 Group rates: upon request |
| Reflexology • Based upon the ancient art of self-healing, this unique massage focuses on the feet, the body's main sensory center. Begins with a warm, stimulating foot bath, followed by carefully applied pressure to specific areas of the feet. Stimulation of the life force within your body will leave you feeling mentally and physically energized! |
| Hot Stone Massage • Smooth, polished Basalt Lava stones are heated and incorporated into the massage. Special oils are added to release the bottled-up tension and stress in your muscles. Feel them melt into a deep, relaxed state. Great any time of the year, but especially on those warm, chilly days! approximately 90 minutes: $95 |
| Medical Massage • Specialized massage, as dictated by a doctor's prescription. Rates provided upon request |
| Cranial Sacral Therapy • The Cranial Sacral System consists of the membranes and fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, as well as the attached bones - including the skull (cranium) and the tailbone area (sacrum). Through light touch and special holding of specific areas of the body, the therapist releases restrictions that inhibit the body's normal self-correcting tendencies. This is an excellent technique for chronic pain and headaches. |
| Mastectomy Massage • This massage is designed for anyone who has experienced removal of even one lymph node to a full mastectomy due to breast cancer. Specific techniques are used to address your special needs in regards to possible lymphodema, scar tissue and pectoral muscle release. You will experience a comforting and nurturing atmosphere in order to restore wholeness, once again, to your entire body. This would be a great gift from a caring friend! |
| Chair Massage • This clothed, seated massage is performed on a special fully adjustable chair. Back, shoulders, arms, and head are treated to a 15 or 30 minute 'chunk of relaxation' at your workplace or home "spa party". This is just the break you need to keep your mind on track for the rest of the workday or evening. Rates provided upon request |
