Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is used for chronic tension in the muscles, to reduce muscle spasm and chronic pain. Direct deep pressure to muscular attachments, friction and slow movement is part of this therapy.
Medical Massage
Our clinc can provide medical massage by doctor's prescription on an individual basis.
Myofascial Release Massage
'Myo-' refers to muscle and 'fascia' is a type of web-like fibrous connective tissue found beneath the skin which serves as a kind of infrastructure for many of the smaller aspects of our bodies, such as blood vessels and nerves. 'Myofascial Release' is the application of slow, sustained pressure and movement on fascia in the body. It helps to loosen restrictions, adhesions, and impingements thereby bringing relief to headaches, neck pain, low-back pain, fibromyalgia, and improving range of motion.
Lymphatic Support
Lymphatic drainage is a light technique with a sequence that promotes lymphatic circulation, peaceful relaxation and overall immune boosting benefits.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal Massage is a nurturing massage that focuses on the special needs of expecting mothers-to-be during pregnancy. Attention is given to edema and back pain, both of which are common in pregnancy. Mother and baby share in the benefits as stress and tension melt away, leaving you feeling balanced and energized. Positioning, pillows, and cushions are used to enhance support, decrease pressure and increase relaxation for both body and mind.
Reflexology
Reflexology uses manual techniques to the feet, scalp or hands; manipulation corresponds to specific areas of the feet and stimulates neural pathways while supporting optional functioning of the body as a whole. The American Reflexology Certification Board describes the difference between massage and reflexology as the intent of massage being a manipulation of the tissues used to relax muscles, whereas reflexology uses various techniques to support the overall health of the body’s systems to function optimally.
Sports Massage
A combination of stretching, compression and gliding techniques to help relieve and prevent muscle soreness and ease tired joints that result from over exertion. Dorina utilizes Thai yoga stretching for the neck, arms, and shoulders, as well as focuses on the hands and feet.
Swedish Massage
Swedish, or Classic Western massage, incorporates a variety of strokes that vary from light to deeper pressure. This type of massage promotes well being and overall mind and body relaxation.
