Definitions of services:
 

Myoskeletal Alignment is a technique used to help align the bone structures of the body by manipulation of soft tissue, movement and pressure. It's the massage aspect of chiropractic therapies.

Myofascial Release is used to help relieve pain from scar tissue and postural stress. The body is covered by a layer of connective tissue that becomes "sticky" when damaged and thus causes pain from the lack of movement. A lot of times this pain is burning or aching in an area or a feeling of pain or ache that is too deep to reach with simple massage.

Reflexology is stimulation applied to specific areas of the feet or hands that relate to areas of the body to promote healing.

Swedish Massage is the basic relaxation massage.

Sports Massage is designed to help the performance of and prevent injury in athletes before, after and in between events.

Muscular Re-education When muscles are injured they go into a guarded mode and shorten, loosing flexibility and length. This technique teaches the muscle to lengthen and become flexible again.

Trigger Point Therapy is pen pointed pressure on a "trigger point" that helps to relieve tension on a muscle, helping to ease joint disfunction and chronic pain. This therapy is often used along with deep tissue work and Myofascial Release.

Reiki is a natural, non-invasive healing method of balancing and energizing the body's electromagnetic field. This alternative method of healing is not meant to be a cure-all for  disease but an enhancement and important addition to the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of the recipient. 

Mayofacial Cupping provides relief from muscle tension by pulling apart tangled, sticky tissues. It also brings new oxygenated blood and nurtrients to damaged tissues to speed up the healing process.
