Myofascial Therapy (Myo) melts adhesions and restrictions that occur in the fascia (skin that surrounds the muscles). The massage stroke is slow and allows the client's body to adapt at its own rate. Once the fascia is restored to normal length, the muscle tissue can re-establish its natural tone and flexiblity. Myo can be used in conjunction with other deep tissue and relaxation modalities, creating a customized session.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) uses a specific sequence of massage techniques throughout the length of the muscle and where it attaches to the bone. These attachment sites have many nerves that sense the length, tension, and location of the muscle. By working these attachment sites and trigger points (specific spots of irritability) within the muscle, the nerves send different signals to relax the muscle and return to its natural tonicity. NMT can be combined with other deep tissue and relaxation modalities, creating a customized session.

Sports/Athletic Massage can be combined with other deep tissue and relaxation modalities, creating a customized session.
