Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist is able to deliver slow, broad and wide, deep strokes with their feet, and body weight without causing pain or discomfort.  Ashiatsu bars are required for this modality.  

Orthopedic Massage combines elements of sports and medical massage to treat soft-tissue pain and injury. The practitioner learns to understand the injury and criteria for rehabilitation. The modality intently focuses on the restoration of structural integrity through a series of muscular skeletal assessments, and problem solving for functional outcomes.  Techniques include, but are not limited to:  Deep tissue, Neuromuscular or Trigger Point Therapy, Cross-Fiber Friction, joint movement or range of motion techniques, passive stretches, or active/resistive techniques.  

*STRUCTURAL RESTORATION IS THE PRIMARY FOUNDATION OF EVERY TREATMENTS

Tuning Fork Therapy is a remarkably effective, deeply penetrating, vibratory treatment that immediately begins to positively impact the body on a cellular level.  It is especially useful amidst acute injury when damaged tissue cannot even be touched, but can also be used for a wide variety of conditions from breaking up adhered tissue, to organ stimulation, resolving lipoma, pre/post surgical treatment,  recovery from heart attack, and much more.  The healing progress when using tuning forks is consistently phenomenal!

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying of hands" both on and off the body, and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us which gives us breath, and life.  This energy is characterized by and flows between the 7 major chakras which can sometimes become imbalanced, blocked, or excessively active.  

Reiki has nothing to do with spiritualism or the occult, and is compatible with all religions, beliefs, nationalities, races, color or creed, and is entirely non-judgmental.  

* PLEASE SPECIFY IS YOU WANT YOUR SESSION TO BE  PREDOMINANTLY REIKI.

Hot & Cold therapy is known as contrast therapy, and involves alternating applications of heat and ice to relieve the pain associated with injury or overexertion. We apply this technique with the use of therapeutic gemstones, additionally integrating their natural healing properties.

The heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work deeper while using lighter pressure, and aids in manipulation of adhered tissue and fascia 

* HOT & COLD GEMSTONE THERAPY IS AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUESTED

Rafa Therapy is also available in Thai Mat format.  Although, our Therapeutic Table massage also incorporates Thai style massage, this option is highly recommended for overall full body, especially for lower body concentration.  Therapeutic Table is recommended for more detailed neck, and shoulder concentration. 

*ALL SESSIONS ARE AUTOMATICALLY THERAPEUTIC TABLE UNLESS THAI STYLE IS SPECIFICALLY SELECTED.
