Treatments
CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping therapy is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
PREGNANCY/PRENATAL Massage
Pregnancy/Prenatal Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. We have special pregnancy pads and/or pillows to make you and soon to be baby as comfortable as possible. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains during pregnancy, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. A massage may leave your muscles sore or aching. We recommend that you drink plenty of water, stretch and ice for no more than 20 minutes after your massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of bad nutrients that will have been released from the deeper tissue during the session. We recommend that you stretch and ice for no more than 20 minutes as needed for any soreness that may occur after the massage.
Craniosacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle laying of the hands technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress to create a structural balance through energy work. It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physicians William Sutherland, and John Upledger this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience. CranioSacral Therapy can also be done on expecting mothers in all stages of pregnancy to reduce stress, relieve sciatic nerve pain, promote relaxation and much more! This technique can also be used on infants to help with such things as colic, sleep and developmental issues, just to name a few. Generally done over clothing when done as a full 60 minute session, but can also be incorporated into a massage therapy session. ARI IS THE ONLY THERAPIST CURRENTLY CERTIFIED IN THIS MODALITY AT THIS TIME.
Lymphatic Drainage
Your lymphatic system helps eliminate your body’s waste. A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of smooth muscle tissue to do this. However, surgery, medical conditions, or other damage can cause fluids to build up in your lymph system and your lymph nodes, a condition known as lymphedema.
If you’ve ever had a surgery on or involving your lymph nodes, your doctor may have suggested lymphatic drainage massage performed by a certified massage or physical therapist. However,
lymphatic massage is not recommended for people with the following conditions:
- congestive heart failure
- history of blood clots or stroke
- current infection
- liver problems
- kidney problems
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF Stretching)
PNF Stretching is an advanced form of stretching. It involves stretching and contracting of muscle groups to increase flexibility of specific areas and can be incorporated into any session.
