Swedish Bodywork

Swedish bodywork is the most popular type of bodywork in the United States. It involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental and physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the bodywork. The benefits of swedish bodywork include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.

Four Hands Massage-2.jpg
Four Hands

In a four hands bodywork, two therapists work on one client, often using synchronized moves. A four hands bodywork can be like experiencing two full body bodywork at the same time. When two therapists and four hands hit your body, your mind reacts differently. At first you might find yourself trying to keep track of the therapists, where each one is and what each one is doing, struggling to keep it all in a very logical order in your head. But very quickly your brain realizes it’s not sure who is doing what, and gives up control. This is a powerful treatment for anyone who has a hard time letting go during treatments.

Deep Tissue Bodywork

Deep tissue bodywork is designed to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body. This type of bodywork is extremely beneficial because it reaches the deepest layer of muscles, fascia (connective tissue surrounding the joints) and tendons. The goal in deep tissue bodywork is to breakdown adhesions (tense areas within the muscle). Adhesions in the muscle are very important to address because they cause pain, inflammation and limit motion of the muscles and joints.

Chinese Tuina

Chinese Tuina is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy often used in conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion, fire cupping, Chinese herbalism, tai chi, and qigong. Tuina is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese Taoist principles in an effort to bring the eight principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into balance. May brush, knead, roll, press, and rub the areas between each of the joints, known as the eight gates, to attempt to open the body's defensive chi and get the energy moving in the meridians and the muscles. Techniques may be gentle or quite firm. The name comes from two of the actions: Tui means "to push" and Na means "to lift and squeeze".

Foot Reflexology

The practice of foot reflexology involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet in order to affect various parts of the body. Whether you make time for self- bodywork after a long day or head to a spa for a session with a certified reflexology, it won't just be your feet that reap the benefits. Adhesions in the muscle are very important to address because they cause pain, inflammation and limit motion of the muscles and joints.

Chair Massage-1.jpg
Chair Bodywork

Chair bodywork is a style of seated bodywork that is typically short—10 or 40 minutes—and focuses on your back, shoulders and neck and arms. For chair bodywork, you are seated in a special chair with your face resting in a cradle, looking down towards the floor, with supports for your arms. Your back and neck completely relax while the therapist relieves muscle tension using swedish bodywork moves like kneading and compression.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue bodywork. Cupping therapy might be trendy now, but it’s not new. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures.

Facial Treatment

A facial is a spa therapy and bodywork that leaves your skin cleaner, softer, younger, and truly transformed. Facials can help clear clogged pores, quench parched skin and remove dead cells. Facials involve some bodywork which aids in blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.  The facial treatment also helps to relax facial muscles which can slow the onset of wrinkles on the face. Puffiness reduction, sagging in the face and skin cell renewal are additional benefits from these bodywork techniques.
