modalities

Swedish massage can be lighter or deeper pressure but always firm strokes to increase blood flow and relax the body while also being able to target client's problem areas. This modality is great for anyone who is in need of general massage or even just resting!

Deep tissue is a more intense massage modality that works on stripping away the muscular adhesions specifically at muscle-bone attachments and often times with result in post-workout soreness feeling the day after. It is a great modality for those with chronic issues or pain, athletes, people who sit at desks regularly, and anyone who is in need of deeper and longer lasting relief.

Abdominal-visceral massage is focused on the abdomen, from the pelvis to the ribcage, and works on releasing tension and adhesions that may be inhibiting blood and lymph flow, GI issues such as constipation, fertility issues such as painful periods, reproductive disorders, infertility and conception, muscular issues such as diastasis recti(ab separation), breathing pain, and pelvic pain. This modality is spectacular for anyone experiencing any of the previous issues.

Therapeutic cupping is a modality that can be more intense depending on what the client needs. This is for anyone who is experiencing stubborn or severe muscular adhesions causing significant pain and immobility. It is also great for scar tissue healing and repair as well as generally increasing blood flow and loosening tight muscles.

Scraping, similar to deep tissue, is a much more intense modality typically used for athletes but beneficial to all clients. With scraping, a tool(scraper) is used to dig into the muscle fibers without allowing any give and aggressively pushing the adhesions until they disperse. 

Reflexology and acupressure both work with pinpointing specific points that stimulate or increase a certain function. reflexology is usually used in the hands and feet to stimulate organ function and hormone production and regulation. Acupressure is used to stimulate pressure points throughout the body to stimulate organs but also to increase blood and lymph flow. This modality is great for anyone who is in need of rejuvenation of energy and blood flow!
