CAM Massage
This is my signature massage. This is not a spa massage. This is also not a Swedish massage nor a sports massage. This is a very deep-tissue massage that digs into the lower layers of the muscles on your body. It is designed to relieve pain and movement restrictions and increase mobility. I will use techniques from different modalities taught in the massage industry - Rolfing, Thai, Shiatsu, as well as Active Release Techniques (ART) - to attempt to restore you to your former pain-free and mobile self. Some people experience soreness and slight bruising in the two to three days following the massage along with a noticeable increase in mobility and a decrease in pain and stiffness. This is tailored to the individual client and what their specific needs are from a massage after their initial assessment.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
ART, Active Release Techniques: Relieving tight muscles and trigger points can make a big difference in reducing joint stress and improving your overall quality of life. That’s why you should consider active release technique (ART). It can help turn on muscles that have been turned off due to injury and eliminate muscular pain.
Active release technique is a type of soft tissue therapy that helps relieve tight muscles and nerve trigger points, greatly reducing joint stress or muscular pains.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
ART Lower Extremity is designed to identify and effectively treat common issues that involve the hips through the toes. Manual techniques are utilized to move the tissues and joints while under tension. The system allows for relative motion between the tissues and articulations. Evaluation and treatment occur simultaneously.
ART emphasizes the manipulation of the nero-musculoskeletal system to diagnose and correct alterations in tissue texture, tension, movement, and function.

Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most traditional form of Western massage, and for many in the United States, it’s the image associated with massage. Swedish massage, or classic massage as it called in some countries, is a relatively gentle massage form focused on the body’s superficial layers. It is provided to promote general relaxation and well-being and sometimes for relief for symptoms associated with health conditions. Swedish massage is known to promote circulation. Among the areas of research: the potential of massage to improve blood pressure and other vital signs. In short, it’s gaining a reputation as more than just a stress-buster.

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment. It uses a breakthrough method of shockwave generation to reach an injured area at the cellular level. It triggers the body’s natural healing process by emitting low-energy acoustic wave pulsations. SoftWave Therapy assures fast relief from pain and rapid recovery.
