Massage

Massage can be preformed by a Acupuncturist or a Licensed Massage Therapist, massage therapy involves using different pressures, movements and techniques to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues in the body. With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness.​

​

Our Licensed Massage Therapist uses a variety of techniques to create a custom treatment plan:​

• Deep tissue: Manipulating the soft tissue to affect the deeper layers of muscular structure.  Fascia, tendons, and ligaments benefit from the deep warming sensations versus the misconception of just deep, hard pressure.  

• Myofascial release: Manipulating the fascia to improve range of motion and promote future healing versus guarding.  Most associated with trauma (falls, car accidents, injury).  

• Range of Motion: The ability to contract and relax at the body’s potential.  The measurement of range of motion is important when identifying realistic outcomes and goals of the patient.  

• Trigger-point: A type of neuromuscular therapy focused on the protective mechanisms of the muscle belly when injured or overused.  Precise and constant pressure (with or without movement) is applied to a latent or active trigger point (commonly referred to as a “knot”). Perceptions of the trigger point massage are associated with “good pain” or “uncomfortable happiness” after achieving the results
