*Deep Tissue: This service is ideal for releasing chronic tension and constricted areas in the body and muscles. Your therapist will use slow strokes and deep finger pressure to release energy in your muscles, tendons, and soft tissue; you’ll leave refreshed and rejuvenated!

*Hot or Cold Stone Therapy:

Hot Stone: A deeply relaxing and soothing massage that combines Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques with 5-10 smooth basalt stones. Your Pure Massage Therapist will use traditional strokes of massage while holding the heated stone and may place additional stones on specific points along your spine or lower back to improve the flow of energy throughout your body.

Cold Stone: It is common to use stones that have been chilled and in the same massage routine as hot stones.  Using cold stone for massage purposes (especially after a trauma or injury) will benefit in dispersal of tissue congestion, alleviation of swelling, decreased muscle spams, stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, increased tissue metabolism, and provide an invigoration effect.

*Thai Massage: This is a style that involves stretching and deep tissue work throughout the massage.  During the session you will lie on a specially designed mat on the floor.  The therapist leans on the body using their own hands and forearms to apply firm rhytmic pressure.

*Lava Shell Massage: Lava Shells are used as a tool during the massage session, similar to hot stones, to induce muscle relaxation and blood flow to the areas of interest.  They are self heated from within the actual shell and have a clean and smooth feeling when placed along the spine.   For more information call or select the Lava Shell Massage on our links page.

                                              

**Lava Shell Massage: Due to the specific nature of this product Lava Shell sessions are

charged differently.  Session times of 30 minutesand 1 hour are billed at an additional $10.00. 

Session times including 1.5 hour(s) and 2 hour(s) are billed at an additional $20.00. Please call for more information.

 

*Cupping: Cupping is used to treat the back, neck, shoulder, and other musculoskeletal pain by increasing circulation and drawing out toxins from the body.  This is an ancient Chinese technique and used in traditional Chinese medicine.  This therapy is beneficial and its effect is a long lasting feeling of relaxation and invigoration.

*Contrast Therapy (Hot and Cold Stone Therapy): When using hot and cold stones during the session you will experience a soothing sensation as your muscles are tricked into relaxation.  The hot stones induce vasodilatation of the muscles and the cold stones induce vasoconstriction.  This creates the perfect combination for your muscles to relax.
