Chair Massage
A stiff neck. Aching wrists. Shoulders that feel as if someone folded them up. Anyone who has ever sat behind a desk all day will recognize the symptoms of workplace fatigue.

Chair massage counters the circulatory problems inherent with office work—and provide a appreciated break for employees. Sitting in a massage chair opens up the back muscles, relieves strain on the neck and provides a gentle respite for eyes usually glued to a computer monitor. Even 15 minutes of massage to the neck, back, arms and hands can increase circulation, returning energy levels and helping keep the body injury free.

You can maintain a homeostatic balance that prevents minor problems from getting worse when chair massage is used as preventive body maintenance.

Foot or Sole Massage
The art of reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China. Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which works on the feet to help heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms. Congestion or tension in any part of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.

The body's "brain map" has overlapping neuronal pulses that correlate with points in the foot. Foot or Sole massage can significantly improve mood and disposition. It can also aid in the cleansing toxins, increase circulation, assist in weight loss, and improve the health of organs throughout the body.

Scalp Massage
A healthy beautiful head of hair requires an ongoing care routine that starts with nourishment. Why wait until you experience hair problems? As with your skin, start taking care of it now, and you'll reap the benefits for years to come.

Massaging the scalp and hair with warm oil, preferably infused with hair-friendly herbs, is the best way to nourish the scalp and hair topically. Not only does the massage work wonders for your hair, but it also relaxes the mind and nervous system. The oil for the massage can be customized by hair and body type. If your hair is thin, dry and frizzy and prone to split-ends, you have Vata hair. If you have fine hair prone to premature thinning or graying, you are Pitta-predominant. If you are predominantly Kapha, your hair will tend to be thick and oily.

The Benefits
A warm oil massage, done at least once a week has the following benefits:
  • It lubricates and conditions the scalp, helping to prevent flakes and dry scalp without the use of harsh chemical shampoos.
  • It helps enhance blood circulation in the head and neck area. When the scalp is "tight" from stress, circulation and hair growth are impeded.
  • It helps relax the scalp and increase pliability.
  • It helps strengthen the roots of the hair and nourishes the hair-shafts, promoting new hair growth and strengthening current hair.
  • It helps soften and condition the hair, making it more manageable.
  • It spreads the natural oils of the hair, increasing hair luster and vibrancy.
  • It helps protect hair from the damaging effects of the sun and harsh weather by improving resiliency over time.
  • It is replenishing and rejuvenating for dry, damaged hair, and helps prevent excessive brittleness and split-ends.
Hair and scalp massage can also help prevent problems such as premature graying or thinning of hair.

Swedish Massage
A variety of long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions make up Swedish Massage which are specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.

Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.

Benefits of Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

Trigger Point Massage
Ever wonder what can be done to help headaches, neck stiffness, carpal tunnel like symptoms, tennis elbow, bursitis, frozen shoulder, back pain, low back stiffness, sciatica, and even shin splints?

Muscle, the body's largest organ, influences the quality and longevity of our lives. Muscle pain can make us less active, more tense or fatigued. Everyday pressures and stresses, overused injuries in athletes, whiplash trauma and conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis can produce muscular or "soft tissue" pain often characterized by what many medical professionals call "trigger points."

Trigger point massage does require the participation of our clients to communicate the presence and intensity of pain and discomfort to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

It is common to find great improvement after one treatment. Repeated treatments may be necessary for those with chronic trigger points. Stretching should be done as "home work" to encourage the muscles that have been treated to stay in a lengthened position.
