Deep Tissue Massage

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.

Cupping massage

The Benefits of Cupping: Suction cups provide a negative pressure on the skin, muscles, and fascia. This is in contrast to the positive pressure of the deep tissue massage. Cupping promotes blood circulation, and the removal of "muscle debris" (such as old blood, lymph, histamine, lactic acid, etc.) that may have been stuck in the soft tissue preventing healthy muscle function. This debris is brought up closer to the surface where it can be properly metabolized by the lymphatic and circulatory systems. 

The cups are either used by leaving them static on an area for a few minutes, or dragged across the body. Depending on the condition of the soft tissue, cupping can be either uncomfortable or even painful, while others find it quite soothing. But, in either case cupping has a profound effect on the body and most people feel significant improvement afterwards especially when traditional massage has failed to provide relief.

Be sure ready to drink plenty of water after a cupping session and have time to rest afterwards!

Facial Cupping

Facial cupping is a gentle therapy done to the face and neck that helps stimulate lymphatic flow, relaxing the facial muscles, increasing blood flow, helping open the sinuses, and stimulating collagen production. This is done with small glass suction cups that are glided across the face, and chest, and lightly "pulsed" down the neck, opening up the lymph pathways. 

Facial cupping is great for sinus, and headache relief, and when regularly done, can reduce fine lines, and lift the face. Some have even reported that it has been helpful in managing TMJ and Bell's Palsy discomfort.
