Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
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.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping Therapy is a complimentary therapy to any of our massage modalities.
Dry Brushing is a popular therapeutic service that consists of a licensed massage therapist brushing a dry brush on the skin in circular motions or light strokes to provide exfoliation and a rejuvenating boost of energy! The brush is made up of coarse bristles, but don’t worry, this process of brushing the skin is pain-free and has many therapeutic benefits.
The Benefits
Increases Circulation
The firm bristles and slow movements of the dry brush aid in eliminating toxins from your body by stimulating your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of organs, lymph nodes and vessels all over your body. By brushing your skin in slow, short or long movements, your lymphatic system will be stimulated more than normal, helping the body detoxify itself leaving you feeling refreshed and energized. The motion also stimulates your sensory nerves helping you to feel revitalized after your service.
Exfoliation
The dry brush is also a great way to naturally exfoliate your body. The process of brushing your skin will remove dead skin cells leaving your skin feeling soft and fresh. The results are immediately noticeable as your skin will feel much smoother and revitalized.
Stress Relief
The gentle friction of the brush with combined pressure over sore, tired muscles provides immediate stress and pain relief by reducing muscle tension.
Dry brushing is gentle and shouldn’t hurt or break the skin. The licensed Massage Therapists at Massage Heights are specially trained to provide this service to guests.
Self-Care after your session
After your session, you will be able to take your dry brush home with you to continue experiencing the wonderful benefits! Be sure to brush with the same pressure your Massage therapist used.
Aromatherapy is a specific type of therapy that incorporates the use of scented essential oils into a massage. The massage involves alternating between gentle and harder pressure while using a specific blend of essential oils.
This may be added on to any of our massage treatments.
