Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy® Massage
Ashiatsu Massage is a barefoot deep tissue massage, is unlike any other deep tissue massage you have ever experienced! The massage therapist, supported by parallel wooden bars suspended from the ceiling, applies deep foot pressure to strategic points along the spine and body to achieve maximum muscle compression – as gentle or deep as you like. Ashiatsu is highly effective for athletes and individuals with thick musculature, and people who enjoy really deep tissue massage. Following treatment, our clients experience deep relaxation, pain relief, improved posture, and enhanced physical structure and balance. Many of our clients swear they will never go back to traditional hand massage after experiencing Ashiatsu.
Swedish Massage
If you’ve ever treated yourself to a massage at a Spa, you probably enjoyed the benefits of Swedish massage. The goal is relaxing the entire body and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Massage lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin.
Swedish massage is exceptional for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. It’s used for pain management, to help individuals recover from injury and is frequently used as form of therapy for anxiety, depression and insomnia. Swedish massage improves energy flow throughout the body, creating a sense of balance and harmony.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage but uses deeper pressure to target knots and release chronic muscle tension. Deep Tissue Massage uses strokes across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain as in Swedish massage. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints). The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief. Deep tissue massage is especially useful for persistently tense and contracted areas, for example, stiff neck, lower back stiffness and sore shoulders. Other benefits include reducing inflammation and helping to eliminate scar tissue.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a massage technique that involves the applying of deep pressure to tender muscles tissue. Similar to acupressure, trigger point therapy helps locate points of tenderness from where pain is generated, and by applying sustained pressure to these trigger points, pain is released. We compress the muscle with sustained pressure using hands, fingers, or elbows until it releases. Although slight discomfort may be felt until the point releases, the overall experience is deeply relaxing. Trigger Point therapy can help improve range of motion, muscle weakness and even numbness or tingling sensations.
