This utilizes a variety of techniques to access and provide relief and realign deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. When there is chronic muscle tension or injury it creates adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep Tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore movement. Deep Tissue may balance on the pleasure/pain threshold, but should not cause pain to the client. 90 minutes is recommended.

Chair massage is used for a variety of scenarios. We offer this (and can bring a team of therapists) to your office, film set, event, or party. We recommend this service for your employees or team for many reasons. Just fifteen minutes of chair massage a week have been scientifically proven to lower stress, reduce muscle tension and rejuvenate the mind and the body. Over 50% of lost work days are stress related. Reducing work stress using seated massage has shown a reduction in absenteeism, combined with improved morale. Some like to use the chair for times when they cannot lie on their stomach or cannot disrobe. For those who are post surgery, you might enjoy our prenatal table (as it has a hole with interwoven elastic bands to hammock your belly and lessen the pressure used by your therapist.) In any event, you are sure to become rejuvenated after just a 10-15 minute session. 30 minutes is available only for incall appointments.

Muscle tension is a significant contributing factor to pain and reduced mobility. Injury or even just the stresses and strains of daily life (sitting for too long, lifting and repetitive tasks) can lead to muscle tension and minor aches and pains. For practitioners, muscle tension is problematic as it can be a barrier to treatment. The solution is Rapid Release Therapy. Through state of the art innovation and engineering excellence, Rapid Release Therapy devices operate at four times the speed of traditional devices and are able to impart high amounts of energy that quickly unlock muscle tension. Rapid Release Therapy is the only targeted high-speed vibration therapy. The unique combination of a very high speed and a small stroke allows deep penetration of large muscles (back, arms and thighs) and yet is gentle enough to treat smaller body parts such as hands and fingers.
