Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time. 

The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body. 

Joint Mobilization is a manual therapy intervention that is applied on a joint. This technique is designed to relieve pain and muscle spasms, release tension and improve flexibility in a joint.

Myofascial Release is designed to treat skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.

A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back, for example, may produce referral pain in the neck. The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head. The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache.

STR is a dynamic technique where pressure is exerted on the muscle (during movement) to impart a stretch or lengthening. STR is a combination of Myofascial Release, Therapeutic Massage, and Active Assisted Stretching.

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST™) is a complete, full-body functional mobility restoration system created by Ann Frederick and Chris Frederick, PT. Medical and other professionals use FST as a neuromyofascial manual and movement therapy. 

FST is used for assisted mobilization, stretching and corrective movement training.
