Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is what most people have come to expect when they get on the table. It refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure against the deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage increases the oxygen flow in the blood and releases toxins from the muscles. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is an integral part of a personal wellness regimen.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a more focused Swedish massage session that shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load and stretches the ligaments and tendons, keeping them supple and pliable. The therapist will identify specific problem areas and customize each treatment to release aches, restrictions and spasms from exhausted muscles. Deep tissue massage is perfect for someone looking to participate in the session, provide feedback, and learn more about their physical self.

Thai-Shiatsu

Thai-Shiatsu Massage is rooted in the therapeutic traditions of yoga, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and meditation. The therapist applies powerful acupressure techniques while deeply supporting you in assisted yoga stretches. The session includes joint and soft tissue manipulation, rhythmic movement, energy balancing, breath work and meditation to balance and encourage radiant health. It invites deep release of physical and psycho-emotional tension while balancing the immune response and restoring body-mind resilience.

Prenatal and Postpartum Massage

Prenatal and Postpartum Massage are offered to all expectant and new mothers. Prenatal Massage is a form of therapeutic bodywork that is geared to meet the unique needs of the pregnant woman. Promoting better function of muscles and joints, prenatal massage improves circulation and overall body tone while decreasing mental and physical fatigue. A perfect gift for a new Mother (or Father!), a massage can be as restorative as a full night’s sleep!

Warm Stone Massage

Heated basalt stones and warm massage oil are combined to provide a unique and comforting treatment. The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone, and may also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, in the palms of your hands, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body. Warm stone massage is suited to people who tend to feel chilly or those who have muscle tension, but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work on problem areas without using deep pressure. Warm Stone Massage is a 90-mintue session.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is the most gentle and profound hands-on therapy offered at TSUBO MASSAGE. Craniosacral therapy addresses myofascial restriction and dysfunction and through treatment, allows the body’s own healing mechanism to remove all impairments to healthy function. For those who seek relief from chronic problems, migraines, or feelings of physical disconnection, Craniosacral is a deeply therapeutic experience.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a 60-minute session designed to detoxify the body and boost the immune system. Anyone suffering from activity-related soreness, edema, chronic fatigue, or general malaise will benefit from this therapy. Lymphatic drainage continues to improve overall body function in the days following the treatment.
