How often should you get a massage?

This depends on a lot of variables. Your stress level, your activity level, your general health, and your approach to life.

People have been known to go all of their lives without ever experiencing the benefits of massage. Yet, Bob Hope and George Burns were wise enough to seek the benefits of massage every other day. This may have helped them live into their extended years.

For most people, massage should be looked at as part of your personal needs, which can vary just like our diet or sleep needs do. If you make the goal to get at least one therapeutic massage every month, you will undoubtedly see the benefits.

The primary types of body work that we currently offer through our therapists and trainings include:

 
 
Swedish

Involves revitalizing and energizing the body through the application of lotion and the use, gentle, smooth strokes to improve circulation and relieve body tension.

  
 
Sports Massage
Includes addressing joint mobility, stretching and range of motion.
  
 
Myofacial Treatment
No lotion applied to skin, separates fascia from skin and muscles. Very therapeutic some people consider it painful.
 
 
Reflexology
Follows theory map that reflex points on the foot, hand and ear correspond to areas of the body and/or organs.
  
 
Trigger Point /  Deep Tissue
