What types of Massage do we offer?
Trigger Point Therapy.
Trigger point therapy is a form of remedial massage in which direct pressure is applied to specific points within muscle tissue to reduce muscle tension and increase pain relief.
All muscles have potential trigger points which can be turned on by muscle overuse, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, nerve pain, stress and inflammation. These trigger points can cause pain in the muscle affected and/or refer pain to other areas of the body.
Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is recognized around the world as a highly effective treatment for pain and can benefit almost everyone.
Myofasical Release is a type of therapy in which focuses on myofascial tissues, the tough membranes that encase, connect and support your musculoskeletal system.
This treatment is performed by locating areas that feel stiff and fixed instead of elastic and free, these areas are released under slow gradual pressure to restore natural flexibility and strength of the area.

Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your muscles, its used to treat muscle and tendon dysfunction and stiffness. Is great for everyday people and athletes.
