Our Services

At Light Hands Therapeutic Massage, we offer a wide array of services to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of our clients. Our services include:

1. Deep Tissue Massage: This form of bodywork aims at relieving tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. By addressing chronic stress areas caused by misalignment, repetitive motions, and past injuries, deep tissue massage is highly effective at releasing deep-seated tension. With open communication throughout the session, we ensure that our clients receive the best possible care, although some level of soreness may be experienced after the treatment. Clients should drink plenty of water after the session to help flush and remove toxins released during the massage.

2. Pregnancy Massage: Designed specifically for pregnant women, this style of bodywork aims at alleviating pain and discomfort brought on by the dramatic physical, hormonal, and emotional changes experienced throughout pregnancy. Pregnancy massage offers profound benefits, including emotional support, relief from joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.

3. Reflexology: This type of bodywork focuses on applying pressure to specific nerve zones in the feet. By addressing every part of the human body mapped into the feet, reflexology aims to harmonize the entire body and offer relief from conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

4. Swedish Massage: A very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork, Swedish massage combines oils or lotion with various techniques such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. This type of massage delivers a wide range of benefits, including relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

5. Myofascial Release Massage: This technique targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. By releasing tension in this critical membrane, myofascial release massage addresses imbalances that can significantly impact range of motion and comfort levels.

6. Active Isolated Stretching (AIS): Developed by Aaron Mattes, AIS is a dynamic system for improving flexibility and overall well-being. This system can be used as a standalone full-body treatment or after deep tissue massage to enhance the benefits of the session.
