About Our Sessions

At Ironwood Massage and Wellness, all of our sessions are considered Integrative Massage. This approach incorporates a variety of modalities to ensure the best, individualized treatment for each client. Our therapists blend techniques and styles from their advanced bodywork training to provide the work that best suits your individual needs. We adapt our pressure to suit each person we work with, and our sessions can vary depending on the client's preferences and the therapist's training.

In addition to our hands-on work, all of our massage tables are equipped with vibroacoustic sound panels. This allows us to blend vibration and sound therapy into our hands-on work, creating a truly unique and healing experience. Our sessions can be enhanced with the use of broad range transducers, which bring the vibrational frequency of the music into the table, allowing you to "feel the sound."

In addition to therapeutic massage sessions, we offer a Far Infrared Sauna room with a custom Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy table. This space can be used as a standalone treatment for you and up to one guest or added before or after your massage session.

All of our products are hand-made in-house with organic and local (when available) ingredients. These are used in our treatments and available for purchase in our office and online so that you can continue your self-care outside of your massage session.

Specialty Sessions

We offer a variety of specialty sessions to help our clients achieve deep relaxation and release muscle tension. Here are some of our most popular sessions:

• Thai Massage: This session is performed fully clothed with the therapist using their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to guide you into a series of yoga-like stretches while also applying rocking, compressions, acupressure, and other Thai Massage techniques to restore balance to the body and mind.
• Reflexology: This type of massage involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. It focuses on treating points in these areas to balance and health the entire body, including the organs. Reflexology creates a profound sense of relaxation.
• Hot Stone Heated basalt stones are blended with hands-on massage techniques to achieve deep relaxation and release of muscle tension, allowing the client a gentle way to relax while changing tension and letting the therapist work into the deeper muscles layers to make greater change.
• Sticks and Stones: This session blends heated basalt stones, Himalayan salt stones, and warm Bamboo sticks to create a full experience of resetting and renewing the muscular and other soft tissue structures. Both bamboo and stones function as tools to work deeper into the soft tissue while the heat softens and relaxes into the whole body.
• Body Cocoon: In this nourishing body cocoon, we wrap the body with hydrating oils to moisturize deeply into the skin and help to boost the lymph and immune systems while increasing circulation to create new cell growth. This treatment can be done on its own or blended with massage techniques.
