Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized form of manual therapy that utilizes static pressure on specific myofascial points to relieve pain. This technique manipulates the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons and connective tissue) to balance the central nervous system.
Relaxation Massage or Swedish Massage
Relaxation Massage or Swedish Massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation and ease muscle tension.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage involves using direct deep pressure of friction applied across the grain of the muscles. This direct pressure works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage uses heated basalt stones as tools both by gliding over the skin and being placed on certain areas of the body. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles and increases the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the healing process.
Reiki
Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of healing that increases energy, reduces pain, produces deep relaxation, and a general feeling of well-being. Through the creation of deep relaxation, it can help the body trigger its self-healing abilities, create balance, and reduce the side effects of excessive stress, medications, or medical procedures.
