| Swedish Massage can increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles by flushing the tissues of metabolic waste. It can also increase circulation without increasing heart pressure and stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them soft and pliable. Swedish Massage positively stimulates the circulatory system as well as the nervous system reducing stress both emotional and physical and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
Neuromuscular Therapy (N.M.T) is a very effective pain relieving system that can balance both the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. N.M.T. can reduce and ultimately eliminate intense pains and the trigger points that cause them. It is a form of deep tissue therapy that is specifically designed to help traumatized neuropathways. When the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia are irritated, it can cause confusion in the brain and can create referred pain sensation in other parts of the body. N.M.T. uses the advanced concepts of Deep Tissue and trigger point therapy to break the stress-tension-pain cycle.

Deep Tissue Massage is a technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue in the body. It can release chronic patterns of tension that restrict motion in the joints and create muscular pain. Deep tissue massage employs the use of fingertips, knuckles, and elbows to work deeply and effectively, breaking down scar tissue and aligning muscles to a more natural resting length.
Myofascial Release (M.F.R.) is a therapy that can relieve the body of fascial adhesions and restrictions that create limited mobility and overall pain. Fascia is a thin connective tissue similar to plastic wrap, which covers all of the muscles, muscle fibers, and organs within the body. When muscle fibers are damaged the fascia, which surrounds it, can become short, tight, and restricted. This uneven stress can then be transmitted through the fascial matrix to other parts of the body, causing pain in other places that seem unrelated to the original injury. Myofascial Release treats these symptoms by stretching the tissues into opposite directions, creating more space in muscle compartments and releasing the uneven tightness in injured areas.
