Our Services

At Holistic Care, we offer a variety of massage therapy services tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. Our services include:

• Swedish Massage (Standard): This technique involves long strokes, kneading, and tapping on the muscles. It promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension, and improves circulation.

• Deep Tissue Massage: This technique focuses on breaking up knots in muscles and increasing circulation, flexibility, and a range of motions for improved athletic performance, quicker elimination of lactic acid, reduced risk for injury, and faster recovery.

• Sports Massage: This technique is beneficial for those with repetitive use injury or those simply seeking to relieve muscle pain/swelling/tension to maximize their athletic performance and physical conditioning.

• Headache Therapies: This technique focuses on the head, neck, and shoulders to decrease pain and discomfort from migraines and tension-related headaches. Regular headache therapies can significantly reduce the chance of migraine attacks and tension headaches by relaxing muscle spasms and trigger points.

• Geriatric Massage: A gentle massage technique is applied to the soft tissues of the body and may include passive stretching. It helps maintain and improve overall health as we age and is beneficial for enhancing blood circulation, improving balance and flexibility, reducing arthritis pain, increasing joint mobility and range of motion, improving posture, and helping to relieve anxiety/depression.

• Full Body Stretching: Experience a head-to-toe assisted stretch for more flexibility, mobility, and performance. The benefits include an improved range of motion and muscular strength.

• Cupping Therapy: Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissue using vacuum suction. The cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup. It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and release of trigger points.

• Prenatal Massage: A prenatal massage aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and make you feel good. We have state-of-the-art equipment to make sure you enjoy all the benefits of a massage and help ease any stress.

• Trigger Point Therapy: Trigger point therapy is a soft-tissue treatment that helps release tense, painful knots in your muscles and fascia (web of connective tissue). Components of trigger point therapy may include sustained pressure, posture and movement correction, electrical stimulation, dry needling, and massage. Trigger point therapy is performed by putting and holding pressure on your trigger points.

• Facial Cupping: The face is full of muscles, just like any other part of the body. Facial cupping will relieve muscle tension, reduce puffiness, soften fine lines, improve circulation, and encourage cell turnover and collagen production. The effects are similar to lymphatic drainage, gua sha, and face rollers, all in one. Using smaller cups than those used on the body, facial cups are always in motion and do not leave any marks. Facial cupping will be performed with Marula Oil. If you prefer a different oil, please bring it with you. Please arrive without any make-up on.

• Lymphatic Drainage: Very light pressure is used with slow repeated and circular movements to stimulate the lymphatic system, which brings nutrients to cells and eliminates toxins from the body. This massage technique reduces swelling and fluid build-up on specific body parts (such as post-surgery). Several sessions are recommended to allow the body to respond to this technique and drain the lymphatic system faster.

• Acupressure: Firm but gentle pressure is applied to acupoints on specific areas of the body for approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes at a time. Acupressure is a good option for those looking for a natural form of pain relief instead of taking pain medication and may help with nausea, headache relief, muscle pain/tension, and cancer fatigue.

• Myofascial Release: Firm pressure is applied on specific body parts to stretch and elongate deeper layers of muscle tissue. Myofascial Release helps relieve pain caused by muscle tension and increases the range of motion and circulation. Regular treatments can help break up scar tissue, heal sports injuries, reduce chronic pain (such as low back pain caused by long periods of sitting), and improve the body's natural alignment and posture.

• Therapeutic Oils: Therapeutic oils contain both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and can penetrate deep into the muscles and joints, providing relief from pain and inflammation.
