SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. |

Postural Alignment Therapy is based on the idea that we are designed with a certain structure and functionality. When this structure is thrown out of alignment our bodies will respond by injury, pain, imbalance and other limitations. Postural Alignment Therapy uses gentle stretches and exercises to bring the load bearing joints of our body back into structural alignment , restoring health and mobility. Eliminating pain, preventing future injuries. As you continue your postural therapy you will notice that each day you are stronger, more mobile and in less pain. |
