Massage Therapy

Therapeutic Massage acts on the nervous system to counteract the body’s response to stress, relaxing muscle tension and allowing heart rate, blood pressure and circulation to return to normal. Massage is one of the most accessible supportive measures you can seek for chronic pain. A deeply relaxing treatment for overall well being.

ART is the gold standard in soft tissue treatment for repetitive strain, sports injuries and cumulative trauma disorders.  Soft tissue conditions often do not show up in radio-graphic studies.  When soft tissue has been injured, or even chronically tight, it forms scar tissue.  While necessary for healing, scar tissue may stick to adjacent structures restricting range of motion and may cause compression over nerves and blood vessels resulting in pain.  This condition alters the texture of soft tissue, which an experienced practitioner can diagnose and treat.  If you suffer from back pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, tendinitis  sciatica or any other injury of the lower body then ART may be the solution.  Treatment duration and frequency may vary depending on the complexity of the injury, however, most patients experience rapid recovery.

ART Active Release Technique is performed by our RMT Jessica Nepton.

Cupping

Cupping was developed thousands of years ago and though the techniques have modernized, the original philosophy remains the same. Cupping involves placing jars on the skin and creating a vacuum by suctioning out the air. The underlying tissue is raised, or sucked, partway into the cup. The purpose of cupping is to enhance circulation, help relieve pain and pull toxins from the body.
