Treatment Options (Modalities)

This massage uses manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being.

Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time. 

Reflexology is based around a system of points in the hands and feet thought to correspond, or "reflex", to all areas of the body.

Performed with strokes called effleurage and petrisage, which may be soft and soothing or deep and invigorating. Or both. Combined with a little neuro-muscular and deep tissue on that problem shoulder-- voila! An experience lasting far longer than the 60 or 90 minute session.

Structural Energetic Therapy® (SET) is a full body therapy that produces maximum rehabilitation of physical conditions causing pain and builds physical performance potential to its maximum. SET is the integration of Cranial/Structural techniques (our “golden nugget”) with specialized soft tissue protocols designed to work together to release the primary core (spiral) distortion, and the distortions of sub-patterns, with the ultimate goal of restoring balance, strength and function in the body long term.
