Post Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a specialized massage technique that we recommend post surgery to help accelerate the patients recovery period. During a surgical procedure, lymphatic fluids can build up, which results in swelling. A lymphatic massage to areas of the body post-surgery, can stimulate the lymph nodes to drain any lymph fluid.
This service is exclusive to our surgical patients.

Swedish Massage
A Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. This technique aims to promote the most relaxation by releasing tension in the muscles. A Swedish massage is much more gentle than a deep tissue massage, and is better suited for our patients who are seeking relaxation and tension relief. This is a great treatment for a self care day!

Deep Tissue Massage
A Deep Tissue massage involves applying firm pressure to reach deeper layers of the muscle. This technique is more commonly used for chronic aches and pain.
Upgrade your massage with these add-ons:
Cupping
Cupping is a safe, traditional treatment that helps to resolve chronic muscle tightness and pain faster than massage therapy alone.
Hot Stones
A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that utilizes heated flat stones to help relax tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout the body.
