Hot Stone-Assisted Massage
Hot stones are used as tools to stimulate deeper muscle tissues, as well as break down built up connective tissue.
The heat of the stone causes muscles to relax, allowing your therapist to sink deeper into affected tissues.
The density of the stone also allows accurate and effective targeting of deeper structures made of connective tissue (ex. joint capsules) or connective tissue that may have built up around an injury and that needs to be broken down to facilitate healthy joint and muscle movement.
Offered exclusively by Dean RMT.
Thai Floor Massage
Thai massage is performed with the you, the client, wearing flexible clothing, lying on a thick mat on the floor. Pillows can be used to bolster for comfort.
Your therapist will assist you through a series of passive stretches and yoga poses. Using their hands, feet, and legs as their tools, your therapist will manually roll your muscles over the bones in order to lengthen your muscles, decrease your pain, and revitalize your energy.
Because this ancient practice uses little to no oil and you remain clothed, it can be an ideal treatment for those seeking manual therapy in the middle of their workday. It's also perfect for those who need a deep stretching session, which can sometimes be difficult to achieve on a massage table.
Offered exclusively by Marin RMT.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology (kin) tape lifts the skin away from the soft tissue underneath, allowing more blood to move into an injured area to accelerate healing and recovery.
When applied over a stretched muscle, kin tape lifts the skin, increasing the amount of oxygen available to the muscles, which reduces fatigue. Kin tape can also be applied to promote lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling.
Clients report reduced pain when kin tape is applied after a treatment, as it continues to promote a sense of stability. Kin tape can also be utilized during pregnancy to support the low back and abdominal regions.
Offered exclusively by Julie RMT.
Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient form of traditional Chinese medicine that utilizes specific points on the body to relieve pain, improve mental wellbeing, reduce insomnia, ease nausea, and more.
Your therapist applies mild to moderate pressure to these points to effect positive change and help you meet your treatment goals.
Offered exclusively by Julie RMT.
Heat Therapy
Heat therapy increases circulation, promotes local pain relief, and relaxes tense muscles. Your appointment may include:
• A large deep moist heating pad
• DoTERRA's Deep Blue Rub Lotion
• Hot stone-assisted massage
Heat therapy is complimentary! Your therapist will indicate which methods will benefit you most.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to effect physiological changes throughout the body.
When essential oils are absorbed or inhaled, they send specific signals to an area of your brain called the limbic system, which influences emotions and the nervous system. Aromatherapy can:
• Brighten your mood
• Ease stress, anxiety, and depression
• Encourage sleep
• Relax tense muscles including menstrual cramps
• Relieve headaches and respiratory congestion
• Reduce nausea
• Fight bacteria and cleanse the skin
