Release mind and body with this unique body therapy, which gently works the central nervous system to relieve mental stress, neck and back pain, and even certain types of headaches and spinal nerve problems. Expect focus on the spine, skull, and surrounding connective tissue as blockages are cleared and craniosacral rhythm restored.   

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. 


Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

Deep Muscle | Sports

A deep muscle massage is designed to relieve chronic tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience chronic, consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and patients who have sustained physical injury.  This type of massage focuses on muscles located below the surface of the top muscles to help release chronic tightness or pain, incorporating slower strokes to work deeper layers of muscle fibers.  This massage will help release chronic patterns of tension that create painful conditions and structural misalignment.  This massage incorporates moderate to deep pressure. 

Sports massage can be used pre-performance, post-performance, during training or for rehabilitation. 

It is not uncommon for receivers of deep tissue massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two. Deep tissue work varies greatly. If you want a more gentle deep tissue without the pain - your therapist will do more Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Active Release Technique.

Lymph System Flush

30-mins | $45

60-mins | $90

Reserve Now

Lymph system flush massage, also known as lymphatic drainage massage, is a gentle massage technique that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system to move lymphatic fluid and reduce swelling. It involves light, rhythmic movements and pressure to encourage lymphatic fluid to flow toward lymph nodes, where it can be processed and waste products removed. Add-on sauna after service will help detox the body.
 
How it works:
  • Stimulates Lymphatic Vessels:
    Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle pressure and circular motions to stimulate the lymph vessels and encourage lymph fluid movement. 
     
  • Reduces Swelling:
    By helping lymph fluid drain, it can reduce swelling and fluid buildup in the tissues. 
     
  • Improves Immune Function:
    The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immunity, and lymphatic drainage massage may help boost immune function by removing toxins and waste products. 
     
Benefits:
  • Reduces Swelling: Can help reduce swelling in the legs, arms, and other areas. 
     
  • Improves Circulation: May improve blood flow by facilitating the movement of lymphatic fluid. 
     
  • Reduces Fatigue: May help reduce fatigue by removing toxins and waste products. 
     
  • May Boost Immune Function: The lymphatic system is part of the immune system, and massage may help improve immune function. 
     
  • Facial Lymphatic Drainage: May reduce puffiness in the face and give skin a healthy glow. 
     
How to Perform:
  • Start at the neck:
    Gently massage the neck area, working from the base of the skull down to the chest. 
     
  • Open the chest:
    Place your hands on the collarbone and gently massage towards the armpit, stretching the skin. 
     
  • Armpits:
    Use your entire hand to massage the armpit area in a circular motion. 
     
  • Legs:
    Massage the legs, starting at the hips and working down towards the feet, gently stretching the skin. 
     
Important Considerations:
  • Light Pressure:
    Use light pressure and gentle strokes, avoiding deep or firm massage techniques. 
     
  • Consult a Professional:
    If you have any health concerns or are considering lymphatic drainage massage for a specific condition, consult with a qualified professional, such as a massage therapist or physical therapist. 
     
  • Hydration:
    Drink plenty of water before and after lymphatic drainage massage to help flush out toxins and waste products. 
     
  • Exercise:
    Combine lymphatic drainage massage with regular exercise to further support lymphatic flow. 

Lymphatic Drainage Post-Surgical

30-mins | $85

60-mins | $170

Reserve Now

Post-surgical lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is very detailed and gentle massage technique that helps move lymphatic fluid, which can build up and cause swelling after surgery. It's often recommended after surgeries like liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast cancer treatments to reduce swelling, bruising, and pain, and to improve overall recovery. 
 
Benefits of Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage: 
 
  • Reduces Swelling and Bruising:
    By stimulating lymph flow, MLD helps move excess fluid out of the surgical area, decreasing swelling and bruising. 
     
  • Improves Circulation and Healing:
    MLD can enhance blood flow, which is crucial for tissue repair and healing. 
     
  • Reduces Pain and Discomfort:
    The gentle massage techniques can help alleviate pain and muscle soreness after surgery. 
     
  • Prevents Infection:
    By removing excess fluid, MLD helps prevent infection by reducing the pressure on stitched-up incision lines. 
     
  • Improves Aesthetics:
    Reducing swelling and bruising can contribute to better aesthetic results after cosmetic surgery. 
     
  • Reduces Scar Tissue Formation:
    Improve the health of lymphatic vessels and minimize scar tissue formation.  
When to Get Lymphatic Drainage: 
 
  • Timing: Many surgeons recommend starting MLD within the first 2 weeks after surgery, as bruising will have subsided and the pain will be minimal. 
     
  • Frequency: Sessions can range from daily for the first few weeks to 2-3 times per week for several weeks, says a massage studio. 
     
  • Duration: Sessions usually last about an hour. 
     
Important Considerations:
  • Certified Therapist:
    MLD should only be performed by a certified therapist experienced in post-surgical care. 
     
  • Individualized Treatment:
    The specific treatment plan should be tailored to the individual's needs and the type of surgery they had. 
     
  • Contraindications:
    MLD is not recommended for individuals with certain conditions, such as congestive heart failure, blood clots, active infections, or liver/kidney problems. 
     
  • Communication with Surgeon:
    It's crucial to discuss MLD with your surgeon to ensure it's appropriate for your specific case. 
     
In essence, post-surgical lymphatic drainage is a valuable tool for improving recovery after surgery, helping to reduce swelling, pain, and bruising while also promoting faster healing and better long-term results.

Rieki

“Reiki is like a hug for your soul.”  Just as massage therapy addresses the muscular anatomy, Reiki therapy addresses the energetic anatomy of the body to integrate energetic restrictions from daily stress, trauma, loss, bad diets, and physical and emotional injuries. A muscular restriction can continue to wind and tighten over time if left untreated. It can lead to poor circulation, poor tissue oxygenation, physical pain, functional inabilities, and ultimately injury. An energetic restriction can do the same, beginning at a more subtle, yet fundamental place.
