Myofascial Therapy (MFT) is an advanced massage technique used to break up adhesions or scar tissue in muscles due to chronic injuries or trauma.

Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing trigger points in your body.

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who range from weekend warriors to professional athletes.

Please wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to stretch in.

 

Acupressure is a form of energetic bodywork similar to acupuncture, but performed with the hands, versus needles.

It can be combined with any other sessions or be a session on its own.
