Massage Therapy
Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.
Massage therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy.
TCM/Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in various countries all over the world to improve and maintain health. It is the view of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that Qi flows through the body in Channels or Meridians. Acupuncture is the insertion of needles or finger pressure to restore proper Qi functioning to eliminate discomfort and regulate physiological functioning. The modern understanding of acupuncture is that a cascade of cellular activity happens the moment a needle is inserted. The result is increased circulation to the area, calming of the nervous system, and stimulation of nerve endings to have specific effects.

Reflexology
Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet that correspond to every part of the body.
Reflexology applies acupressure to the soles of the feet to relax, reduce tension, improve circulation, and restore physical balance to the entire body promoting a general feeling of wellness.
Reflexology* can be used on its own or in conjunction with a massage therapy treatment that is 60 minutes or longer.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a modality that has been used by health care providers since the 1940s.
Ultrasound is one of the most widely used passive modalities for the treatment of soft tissue injury, joint dysfunction and pain.
Therapeutic Ultrasound is the use of sound waves to penetrate the body eliciting therapeutic benefit in specific target tissues.
Ultrasound is used for approximately 4 to 10 minutes on each area. Ultrasound is commonly used for tendinitis, non-acute joint swelling and muscle spasm.
Combination Acupuncture and Massage Therapy
This is a unique treatment combining Contemporary Medical/Neurofunctional Acupuncture with Massage Therapy to complement the benefits of each other.
Acupuncture is known to have a modulating effect of abnormal nervous system activity that is associated with movement disorders, sports injuries, musculoskeletal pain, chronic pain and others. High stress can also cause this dysregulation.
The modulating effects include decreased pain, inflammation, and improved relaxation/parasympathetic (or vagus) tone which aids in so many conditions! For chronic pain and injury it can move the rehabilitation to the next level. A common side benefit clients love is that sleep is often enhanced post treatment.
On the muscuki-skeletal side, it has significant impact in restoring function and alleviating pain. Needling during treatment helps relieve muscle hypertonicity and trigger points. It also decreases sensitivity so that deep manual treatment is tolerable and more effective. With most injuries, movement impairment syndromes or biomechanical imbalances, there is motor inhibition of specific muscles. Acupuncture needling activates these muscles that have not been "firing" properly and helps to regain function. Another use includes muscle activation to improve performance in sport and normal day to day activities. Home care exercises may be prescribed to reinforce the effects of the acupuncture.
Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage boosts circulation, promoting healthy hair growth, reducing headaches, and relieving tension. It relaxes the body, combats stress and insomnia, and enhances mental clarity by stimulating nerves and clearing energy blockages.
