Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
*Optional use of the bodyCushion supports clients comfortably in multiple positions. The difference from receiving on a flat table is remarkable.
Chair Massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of Chair Massage is that it is done over the clothing. With Chair Massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, Chair Massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Please note: Hot Stone Therapy can only be performed at Seybridge Chiropractic Center.
Lava Shell Massage is a perfect blend of heat and hands. Smoothly polished tiger clam shells become warm when a biodegradable mixture of minerals, dried sea kelp, and algae are activated with water. The shells are a nice addition to a full-body Swedish Massage because of their usefulness as a tool and the added benefit of heat.
Thai Massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga Massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. My clients say Thai Massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai Massage session will help you release stress, relieve pain, and help you function more effectively at work and home.
