Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It uses slower strokes and more intense pressure to relieve tension, reduce pain, and promote healing in specific areas. This type of massage is particularly effective for chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and injury recovery, as it targets knots and areas of tension within the muscles.

Strain Counterstrain Therapy
Strain-counterstrain is a gentle manual therapy technique used to relieve musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves identifying tender points in the body and placing the affected muscle in a position of comfort, which helps to relax the muscle and alleviate pain.
This technique is non-invasive and focuses on facilitating the body’s natural healing processes, making it suitable for various patients, including those with acute injuries or chronic pain.

Cupping
Cupping is a traditional therapy that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction pulls the skin and underlying tissue into the cup, promoting increased blood flow, relieving pain, and stimulating the healing process. This can be integrated into any massage.

Muscle Scraping
Muscle scraping is a therapeutic treatment that uses a specialized tool to gently scrape the skin over muscles and fascia. The primary goal is to break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote blood flow to the area, enhancing the healing process. This service can be integrated with any massage.
