REIKI

Swedish Massage is typically a very relaxing massage consisting of soft tissue manipulation with long broad strokes to encourage increased blood and lymph circulation.  Toxins are encouraged to leave the tissue.  This technique is effective for relieving stress and tension.

Deep Tissue Massage reaches the deeper layers of muscle tissue by utilizing stronger pressure with fingers, forearms, fists, and elbows.  Stretching and mobilization of the arms, legs, torso, and spine are also incorporated.  Deep tissue is helpful for releasing muscular adhesions and aids in relief of chronic tension and trigger points.  It is also useful for those recovering from an injury or looking for postural correction.

Hot Stone Massage employs a technique that uses smooth, heated basalt stones which are massaged on specific parts of the body to melt away knots, tension, and stress.  It promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation.  The heat of the stone helps muscles to release more quickly than traditional massage.  Great for those with arthritis.
