Shiatsu, originally from Japan, is a type of massage that literally translates to "finger pressure". This technique incorporates stretching, massage, and the application of finger pressure to specific areas along meridian points of the body to help remove blockages, balance qi (energy), and alleviate discomfort.

Himalayan salt stone massage uses heated mineral Himalayan salt stones. Differing from a traditional basalt hot stone massage, Himalayan stones naturally help in balancing the body's ion levels. Once heated, these stones emit negative ions which deliver an array of positive health benefits including but not limited to; decreased inflammation, improved circulation, a reduction of anxiety, and an improved sense of well-being and relaxation. Additionally, Himalayan stones are made of pure Himalayan salt which provide the added benefit of replenishing and nourishing your skin and body with over 80 minerals. The texture of these stones also lightly exfoliate the skin for a softer and smoother feeling. Other benefits of Himalayan salt stone massage may include prevention of muscle cramps, lowered blood pressure, balanced nervous system, improved sleep, relief of muscle pain and soreness, and boosted immunity.

Myofascial Release, founded by John F. Barnes, is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on releasing the restricted tension of the fascia. Fascia is the continuous layer of connective tissue that surrounds all of the muscles and organs within the entire body. Myofascial release includes gentle to intense techniques that involve slow, sustained, and direct contact with the skin while using little to no lotion or oil. The intentional release of stagnant and restricted fascia can improve pain, posture, and mobility. You can learn more about myofascial release on our blog!
