Sports Massage
Athletes runners/ gym goers seek skillful massage treatment for peak performance and fast recovery. Sports massage during training or as a pre-event or post-event regimen can promote a new level of activity and wellness. The deep kneading and wringing of tired muscles helps to flush out metabolic wastes and bring in high levels of oxygen. Trigger point work and precise friction over areas of scar tissue can restore flexibility and speed recovery from sports injuries.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is aimed at the deeper structures of the muscle and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as classic Swedish massage but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots in the body.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
Neuromuscular therapy is an advanced system of soft-tissue manipulation which helps balance the central nervous system with the structure of the musculoskeletal system. NMT offers effective relief from pain caused by:
- soft tissue in a blood-deprived toxic state
- trigger points
- nerve compression or entrapment
- postural distortion and biomechanical dysfunctions of the body
This is a deep, precise technique though pressure is always adjusted for comfort.
This is a result-oriented modality, great for headaches, neck pain, back pain, repetitive strain syndromes, TMJ pain, wrist pain, scoliosis, sciatica, sports injuries, dance injuries, plantar fascitis, shin splints, etc.
Where it hurts may not be where the problem is. Sometimes back pain comes from the front, or elsewhere. The therapist collaborates with you to address your pain by asking you questions, listening, assessing your alignment and examining by palpating relevant areas.
