Therapeutic Massage is a treatment based massage. It includes initial tests and assessments of musculoskeletal structures before developing a treatment plan fitted to your needs. Specific techniques are used to treat muscular, skeletal and fascial imbalances. Stretching, strengthening, intrinsic and extrinsic techniques may be used in addition to massage in order to lengthen or stabilize musculature to provide joints with a full range of motion. Depending on the therapists additional training, they may be able to include techniques for TMJD/TMD, Rib mobilization, Lymphatic massage, etc.

Relaxation massage has the purpose of relaxation and stress reduction. To achieve this, Swedish massage techniques are performed to flush tissues and increase oxygen flow in the blood. The stimulation of the skin and nervous system reduce the emotional and physical stress you may be experiencing.
