Our Techniques
A session will most likely include more than one style of massage, but below are the main techniques we utilize.
Deep Tissue & Trigger Point
Deep tissue consists of slow, consistent pressure within the deeper layers of muscle. This modality is achieved by slowly sinking into the muscles until tightness is found, and applying consistent pressure along tension bands/knots. Occasionally, you might experience a “trigger point”: a knot of muscle that sends pain to another part of your body. When these are found, we will apply direct, sustained pressure until released.
Despite its name, this does not require only “deep” amounts of pressure! Everyone will require a different amount of force, and we will work with your body to ensure proper depth is utilized.

Joint Mobilization
This will utilize movement and stretching, both with and without your direct involvement. As we move your body, we are increasing the healthy fluid in your joints – allowing for greater mobility. By flowing between stretches and isolated resistance, the muscles surrounding your joints will soften as well as the ligaments within the joint itself. Alongside movement, the massage will get your blood flowing to muscles through quick bursts of pressure, scrubbing, and decompression. During a session, cups will most likely be utilized to help new blood flow into the muscles.
Neuromuscular
This addresses “muscle memories” that do not serve you anymore. Just as muscles get used to patterns such as brushing your teeth and using a fork, they can also get stuck in unhealthy patterns due to trauma that keep you in pain. During a massage, we will use specific procedures that connect with your nervous system and re-wire those patterns. This type of massage will consist of varying pressures and depths, along with active joint movement and resistance.
