Massage Menu
Deep Tissue Massage Deep tissue massage is based on the needs of the client. If you are experiencing ongoing pain, strained or very sore muscles from heavy physical activity, or have a physical injury, this massage works muscles and fascia at the deepest level to promote healing and relieve pain. Using various techniques such as acupressure and myofascial release, severe tension is released, adhesions are broken down, and recovery begins. 80 minutes: $145; 60 minutes: $120 Hot Stone Massage River-smoothed volcanic stones are heated to body temperature, and placed along the back as well as on trigger points such as the back of the hands. As the stones' heat radiate into the skin, muscles relax and tensions ease. Guerda then uses the warm, oil-covered stones to work the muscles. 80 minutes: including hot stone massage on the back only - $145 80 minutes: full-body stone massage - $155 60 minutes: including hot stone massage on the back only - $120 Fibromyalgia Relief Fibromyalgia sufferers experience chronic overall pain and fatigue, sleeplessness and often depression. Regular massage can help immensely to improve this condition. Guerda applies long soothing strokes to warm the muscles, and then deeper pressure and friction to break down knots in the connective tissue and release toxins. During the session, the resulting deep relaxation releases endorphins which are natural pain killers. After regular sessions, pain diminishes, sleep is deeper, and range of motion is improved. 80 minutes: $145; 60 minutes: $120 Cancer Relief Therapeutic massage brings welcome relief for the anxiety, depression, pain and fatigue caused by cancer and its treatment. Guerda is skilled in safe massage techniques that ease pain and unpleasant medical side effects, help eliminate the toxin load from cancer treatment, and restore a sense of happiness and well being. Massage is helpful at every stage - during radiation, chemotherapy and remission, and during end of life care. 80 minutes: $145; 60 minutes: $120 Swedish/Relaxation Massage Swedish massage, also known as "classic massage," incorporate five styles of long, flowing strokes to relax and invigorate muscles. These include sliding or gliding strokes, kneading, rhythmic tapping, rubbing across the muscle fibers and vibration or shaking. This massage relieves tension and reenergizes the whole body. 80 minutes: $145; 60 minutes: $120 Sports Massage Sports massage helps athletes to stay in optimal condition by preventing and healing injuries, and aiding recovery from major sports events. Guerda typically concentrates on the muscles and tendons around a problem area, such as a painful knee or shoulder, or pulled hamstring. She uses a blend of Swedish massage techniques to stimulate circulation, and trigger point therapy to help break up adhesions and expand range of motion and reduce pain. This massage helps you stay in the game. 80 minutes: $145; 60 minutes: $120 Pregnancy Massage Pregnancy is a special time accompanied by many changes in the body. Guerda uses a customized pregnancy massage table to accommodate and relieve pressure on the abdomen. She applies gentle techniques, listening to you and your body on the right level of pressure to apply and where to work. Modified Swedish massage strokes increase circulation throughout the body, which reduces swelling, and relaxes and alleviates pain in the back and legs. This massage is excellent for pre- and post-partum mothers. 80 minutes: $145; 60 minutes: $120 |
