Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Medical Massage is prescribed and intended to resolve conditions that have been diagnosed and prescribed by a Physician. The Medical Massage Practitioner can use a variety of modalities or techniques such as Neuromuscular therapy, Myofascial release, Lymphatic drainage, Muscle testing, Trigger point therapy etc. but will focus the Medical Massage session on the areas of the body related to the diagnosis. 30 minutes medical massage sessions are focused on one specific area, such a shoulder, a knee, or lower back. 60, 90, 120 minutes medical massage sessions are full body.

60 minutes Thai Medical Massage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Thai Medical Massage integrates ancient Thai healing traditions with Western medical techniques, combining deep compressions, assisted stretching, acupressure, and myofascial release. This therapy targets musculoskeletal imbalances, enhances mobility, and alleviates pain. Tailored for conditions like sciatica, frozen shoulder, and tension headaches, it blends timeless wisdom with modern therapeutic care for optimal recovery.

60 minutes Lymphatic Drainage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a type of massage based on the hypothesis that it will encourage the natural drainage of the lymph which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch or about 4 kPa) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow. Clinical studies of MLD conclude that further study of the practice is required before recommending it as an effective health treatment.

60 minutes Deep-Tissue Massage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage; otherwise, tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis.

60 minutes Oncology Massage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. An Oncology Massage is a patient-specific, customized massage session designed to meet the unique and changing needs of someone in treatment for cancer or with a history of cancer treatment. A safe massage plan generally revolves around the side effects (both short- and long-term) of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

60 minutes Prenatal Massage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Prenatal Massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

60 minutes Sports Massage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Sports Massage is a targeted form of massage for athletes, typically given before, during and after events. It helps to relieve swelling, reduce tension, improve flexibility, prevent injuries, and reduce fatigue with the goal to improve the athlete’s performance.

60 minutes Thai Traditional Massage session. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Thai Traditional Massage was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Culture Heritage of Humanity list in 2019. This ancient healing method practiced by Buddhist monks at the temple, uses a blend of stretching, yoga and acupressure techniques to relax the body. Unlike Swedish massage or Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage, where patient is a passive participant, in Thai Traditional massage, the patient – who remains fully clothed – bends, stretches and moves their limbs with the help of the therapist to boost flexibility.
