Services
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and promotes relaxation through rhythmic strokes. Our registered therapists customize pressure and techniques to address individual needs. Sessions range from 30 to 90 minutes, incorporating deep tissue work when required.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses red/infrared light to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing. It treats conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and headaches. Sessions last 15 minutes and can be combined with massage for enhanced recovery.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy creates suction to relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow. It addresses chronic pain and inflammation using techniques aligned with traditional Chinese medicine. Rates match standard massage durations.
Pre/Post Natal Massage
Specialized prenatal massage reduces discomfort during pregnancy using supportive positioning. Therapists use specialized pillows for comfort and safety. Sessions range from 30 to 60 minutes to accommodate client needs.
Cranio Sacral Therapy
Cranio Sacral Therapy gently manipulates skull bones to treat headaches and nervous system disorders. This non-invasive technique promotes fluid circulation around the brain and spinal cord during 60-minute sessions.
