Styles

Some massage techniques release tension directly by kneading or stretching your tissue, while others work to stimulate your nervous system, which then allows your muscles to relax.

Ideally, at Healing Touch, we often integrate many different forms of massage therapy into your treatment plan, depending on your specific complaints and focus. We feel it is often best to utilize and promote your body's abilities to heal itself and return it to homeostasis


Swedish Relaxation-
Uses long smooth rhythmical strokes to stimulate the nervous system to allow your muscles to relax decrease your blood pressure and stress levels but increase your circulation.

Pregnancy Massage -
This treatment is the ideal way for an expectant mom to address those low back pains & sciatica, decrease the swelling in her feet, and reduce any stress she may have while helping to prepare her body for the delivery of her new little one.

Trigger Point Therapy-
Is focused on the shortened tissue in a particular muscle. Pain caused by trigger points is often felt in areas away from the point itself, and using their specific referral patterns, the therapist will treat the appropriate muscle. The pain may feel sharp, intense or dull and may cause restricted movement.

Lymphatic Drainage-
Helps to improve the lymphatic flow by mechanically pumping the lymphatic fluid through the lymphatic capillaries. This helps to reduce edema and pain, while decreasing the chance of scar tissue formation and riding the body of metabolic wastes.


Deep Tissue-
This therapy is used to treat chronic muscle tension, release scar tissue, and target those pesky knots. It focuses on the deep tendons, muscle and fascia of the body.
This treatment can be uncomfortable at times, and the client may feel some muscle pain and tenderness for 48 hours after the treatment before the desired affect is felt.

Myofascial Release-
This slow subtle technique that is used to realign the body's fascia that surrounds all the muscle and tissues. Any restrictions in the fascia often lead to pain and asymmetry of the tissue.

Sports Therapy-
Sports massage is for every type of athlete, and is very specific to the activity or sport at hand. It is an integral part of a training regimen and most athletes find it increases their range of motion, decreases the chance of injury and helps with overall performance.

Crainiosacral-
