Trigger Point Massage Therapy is specifically designed to release constricted areas in the muscles through cycles of isolated pressure and release, thereby alleviating pain at the source. The recipient actively participates through deep breathing and through identifying the exact location and intensity of discomfort. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. Receiving massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.

Myofascial Release

Paraffin Treatment

Myofascial Release is a hands on, whole body manual therapy technique addressing the fascial system. MFR is used to elongate the fascial tissue with a 90-120 second gentle pressure into the restriction or tissue barrier. After releasing through several barriers the tissue will become soft and pliable. The pressure will be taken off pain sensitive areas and motion restored.

Myofascial Release differs from massage and chiropractic manipulation. Myofascial release applies sustained pressure into the fascial system and has effects on the elastin, collagen and ground substance. Soft tissue restrictions that alter bony alignment are addressed and osseous releases are performed slowly without manipulation.

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

Its grounding properties help to improve sleep,  balance the  nervous system  and reduce inflammation.  Additionally, the stone’s natural salt properties gently exfoliate the skin to promote naturally smooth and silky skin, reducing signs of aging.
