Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy is a whole-body treatment that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure and movement into the fascial system in order to eliminate restrictions without the use of force. No oils or creams are used. The fascial system normally moves freely and helps absorb shock during everyday activities, however, it can solidify due to falls, accidents, surgeries or inflammation. Decreased range of motion, pain and discomfort can happen due to solidification of the fascial system. If one area starts to harden, it can put tension on other areas of the body which can pull our bodies out of alignment. Myofascial Release treatment helps relieve daily aches and pains, which allows you to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
