For Massage Therapy Services For Relaxation & Pain Relief

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a form of massage using many different kinds of strokes to achieve an ultimate goal. Effleurage, petrissage, friction and tapotement all can create a feeling of “euphoria” know as relaxation. This type of massage helps increase circulation, range of motion, decrease swelling, edema and adhesions to promote a better healing process and to maintain good health. Dr. Craig is our resident expert with this technique and has clients who have followed him throughout the northwest to continue to receive massage from him. 

 Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage helps to relieve muscle from adhesion, pain, spasm and  restrictions in movement.  Techniques such as tendinous attachment work, pin and stretch and muscle stripping restore length to hypertonic muscles.  Compartment separation and alternative friction relieve adhesions within the tissue.  These techniques will leave you feeling better and enhance your body's ability to perform.  Although many people believe deep tissue massage is painful, all massage techniques can be applied with varying depths of pressure.  Both Patty Craig L.M.T. and Dr. Craig are experienced in applying deep tissue techniques. 

Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), also referred to as Trigger Point Therapy, is a thorough massage protocol that addresses adhesions in the soft tissue and then addresses malfunctions in the muscle tissue through focused compression. Finally the muscle is actively engaged to reset the connection between the brain and the properly performing muscle. This technique is especially effective for recovery from injury, such as a car accident, repetitive use or sports injury.  Patty Craig L.M.T.  is our NMT specialist  and applies the technique in a gentle, focused manner to foster relaxation as well as enhance muscle and joint function.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle technique that directly impacts the soft tissue surrounding the central nervous system. Just as muscle tissue can develop knots from stress, so too can the tissue and fluid in the central nervous system. Lack of fluidity within the central nervous system can be detrimental to the entire body. CST is a subtle body tenchnique that can have a profound impact overall well being. CST has proven effective to address stress symptoms and trauma as well as more specific structural issues relating to shallowness of breath, dizziness and headaches, for example.
