Modalities Offered:
Swedish Massage:
What most people think of as massage - A vigorous, heart directed, system of strokes designed to stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph to refresh the cellular tissues and relax the mind, body and spirit.
Deep Tissue Massage:
A specialized method that reaches the deeper layers of tissue where pain usually lies, and uses myofascial release, trigger-point therapy and other techniques to relieve chronic tension and normalize the tissue.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy:
Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) process involves the use of gentle manual maneuvers to aid in the recirculation of the human fluid system. The proper functioning of this system is critical to our body’s ability to drain fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances and maintain a healthy immune system.
Due to the nature and role of the lymphatic system, LDT is beneficial in the correction of numerous conditions, including: reduction of swelling and inflammation; relief from acne, eczema and allergies; regeneration of tissues from burns and pre- and post-surgical scarring; reduction of the effects of aging and alleviation of cellulite; detoxification of the body; relief of chronic pain; and reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Kurashova Russian Medical Massage:
KURED®- Kurashova Re-Education™ treatment for fibromyalgia re-educates the central nervous system to generate a permanent change of different etiology in fibromyalgia patients. This totally painless approach has been close to 100% effective in retraining the body and producing normal, pain-free function by addressing the cause of the condition rather than providing a painful alternative through the tender points. The treatment offered deals not only with the 18 tender points, but also sleeping disorders, digestive problems, and with other associated conditions.
Specific forms of touch cause the Central Nervous System to generate efferent signals producing a chain of nervous-reflex reactions in the body and causing physiological change in the tissues, systems, and organs.
Knowing which kind of touch will produce what kind of reaction in the body is the essence of Kurashova Re-Education™ treatment
