Touch of Tranquility offers the following services:
- Swedish Massage: A quiet, relaxing massage with possible movements of the neck, arms and some stretching to provide muscle and joint relief, and increased range of motion. This procedure is nice for those who just need to relax or who may be new to massage.
- Deep Tissue Massage: This is very similar to Swedish, however, the therapist will be applying direct/deeper pressure into the muscle, with their thumbs, finger, or possibly elbow (depending on the clients tolerance level). Deeper pressure is used on trigger points to release tense band-like muscles tissue. This procedure works best for experienced massage clients, who have a very tight muscle structure.
- Myofascial Release Massage: This massage requires a sustained or prolonged amount of pressure. Fascia is a net-like system surrounding our muscles, nerves, bones, basically everything including important organs, such as: heart, lungs, spinal cord and brain. Fascia is one large structure throughout our bodies. For example, if something is snared in this net-like structure, it would be similar to a fly in a spider’s web. If one area is weighed down or bunched up, it causes stress and tautness on other areas. This procedure relieves pain and restriction of our Fascia structure. This procedure can be helpful for those who have experienced some kind of Trauma, such as, whiplash or surgery.
- Lymph Drainage: Our Lymph system is very important. We have lymph nodes throughout our bodies, and they are basically a filtering system for our blood. Lymph drainage massage assists this system in draining and cleansing unhealthy toxic fluids, which can collect in the lymph nodes. By keeping the lymph system properly drained, it can lead to a healthier immune system and increases the body’s resistance to infections. This procedure is especially helpful for clients with edema/swelling, fibromyalgia and fatigue.
- Pregnancy Massage: The changes a woman’s body goes through during pregnancy can be intense! Muscles of the neck, middle and low back, legs and feet can become increasingly stressed and swelling can occur. Massage can relieve many of these aches, pains and reduce swelling. This procedure is wonderful for pregnant mothers, who are hurting or simply want to relax. The client is positioned in the left side lying position, with pillows placed comfortably around her. Please have your doctor’s approval for pregnancy massage.
- Hydro-therapy: This is a great way to loosen up those tense muscles and just relax. Please allow 20-30 minutes for use of the hot tub.
