The Relax Nation

Introduction: Please visit our website and make an appointment. Relaxnation: Our signature massage, this complete body massage encompasses your back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, decollete, face and scalp. The pressure will be light to medium and the style incorporates long flowing strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on more superficial layers of the muscles. Generally, the massage is full-body and is very relaxing with therapeutic benefits. The Relaxnation massage technique can also focus on one area of the body such as the back if that is what the client desires. The Relaxnation massage session is typically 1 to 2 hours. Realignment: Our deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks and shoulders, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. We employ the same strokes used in our Relaxnation massage, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper to address areas of tension and pain. We recommend this session for client's who don't want a full-body massage, but would rather have the therapist focus on only certain parts of the body. Ring of Fire: This massage is a focused deep tissue massage that, de-constructs the current patterns within the soft tissue of the "Ring of Fire", that includes the neck, shoulders and lower back; and subsequent re-facilitation of a more optimal or healthier pattern of the muscles. Contraction Release: This type of therapy also commonly known as neuromuscular therapy or trigger point therapy, is a system of soft tissue manipulation that seeks to balance the nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. We release trigger points in muscles, to help correct muscular imbalances that may cause pain and discomfort. Additionally, contraction release uses soft tissue manipulations on tendons and other connective tissue to assist in muscle balance. Contraction release addresses nerve pain caused by pressure from soft tissues including muscles, fascia and tendons. Conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), back pain, neck pain, scoliosis, fibromyalgia and migraines, may be treated effectively using Contraction release. ESSENCE This type massage is our aromatherapy treatment-ancient, aesthetic and scientific using the healing power of essential oils. An essential oil is a concentrated liquid obtained from plants and trees. The oils heal you holistically; that is to say they treat your mind, body, emotions and spirit. The oils penetrate your skin to address the physical symptoms as well as the very depth of your being, to enable your body to tap into its innate ability to heal itself on every level. The oils have many medicinal properties, ranging from easing muscle spasms to helping ease arthritis, from menstrual and hormonal problems to depression, from stomach disorders to easing discomfort in certain stages of pregnancy. We combine aromatherapy oils with the healing touch of massage, and you have a powerful combination of treatments which can bring about health, healing, wellbeing and balance
