WHICH MASSAGE Therapy session IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Every body is different. Whether you seek to melt away everyday stress through relaxation therapy or need targeted relief for chronic, deep muscle tension, this guide will help you select the right bodywork services for your session.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

Best For: Pure relaxation, stress relief, and a first-time massage experience. 

What to Expect: Long, gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and rhythmic movements designed to calm the nervous system, lower stress hormones, and leave you feeling completely recharged. 

Pressure: 🟢🟢⚪⚪⚪ (Light to Medium)

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE 

Best For: Chronic pain, tight knots, stubborn muscle tension, and localized injuries. 

What to Expect: A focused session using deliberate pressure and targeted techniques to release deep muscle tension, improve your range of motion, and accelerate recovery. Therapeutic massage sessions may also utilize cupping, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (aka: scraping or Gua Sha), and heated bamboo. There is never an upcharge for cupping, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, or heated bamboo during these sessions. 

Pressure: 🟢🟢🟢🟢🔴 (Medium to Firm / Deep)

CUPPING 

Best For: Stubborn muscle tight spots, restricted movement, and deep fascial tightness. 

What to Expect: Specialized cups are placed on the skin to create a gentle vacuum. This suction pulls fresh blood flow to stagnant tissues, lifts tight fascia, and releases stubborn tension far faster than traditional pressure alone. 

Pressure: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪ (Medium / Suction-based)

HOT STONE 

Best For: Total mind-body relaxation, melting away general muscle stiffness, and boosting circulation. 

What to Expect: Warmed, smooth river stones are placed on key points of the body and used as extensions of the hands to deliver deeply soothing, radiating heat directly into the muscles. 

Pressure: 🟢🟢🟢⚪⚪ (Light to Medium)

HEATED BAMBOO 

Best For: People who love deep pressure but want the soothing comfort of heat. 

What to Expect: Smooth, warmed bamboo canes of various sizes are rolled and kneaded across your muscles. The combination of deep heat and firm, consistent pressure allows for deep tissue work without the intense sharpness of traditional deep work. 

Pressure: 🟢🟢🟢🟢🔴 (Medium to Deep)
