Swedish Massage is the most popular type of massage in the United States.
It refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles.
By applying pressure to muscles, and using long and flowing strokes, Swedish
Massage enhances oxygen flow in blood and helps to release toxins.
Swedish Massage is not only relaxing, but invigorating as well. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands and circulation, while promoting health and well being.
Ashiatsu is an ancient form of body work brought to us by Buddist monks.
Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is an adaptation of traditional Ashiatsu barefoot
massage. It was adapted by Ruthie Piper Hardee in the 1990's. This technique
uses the feet to perform deep compression while providing relaxation and stimulating
the lymphatic system. Overhead bars are used by the therapist for balance
and control.

of the spine, stress reduction, pain relief, relaxation and an increase in overall
well being and health.
