New year, new services! And we happen to have THREE really exciting new offerings, all designed, of course, to make you feel better than ever.

To start, we have hawkgrips.

As an IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation), Hawkgrips tools can amplify the effects of a therapist's hands. It can help with precision and be used at any level of massage for issues such as tightness, stress, injury and more. Hawkgrips tools can be used with delicacy and very little pressure all the way to intense. As always, it depends on what you and your therapist think you need for your specific issues and comfort level.

Again, though not just for more extreme needs, it is especially effective when dealing with scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions. Hawkgrips can take the massage to another level. These tools can promote blood circulation to an injury and help break up adhesions and other restrictions. As one client recently said: "I've never been able to feel so much in a massage!"

Next up, gua sha! You’ve likely seen these on TV or at stores already but there are a much larger range of tools available.

Gua Sha and jade rolling are ancient face and body techniques used as a beauty secret in ancient Egypt, China, and Greece to maintain youthful beauty, promote blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and smooth puffiness and fine lines. A treatment can give you more lifted, sculpted features, help reduce outward signs of aging, soothe dark circles, and give a fresh, rosy complexion.

Having someone else do this for you is so very relaxing!

And finally, maybe especially helpful so soon after all the holidays, we have two levels of abdominal massage.

Abdominal massage is a gentle, noninvasive treatment that can help with a wide variety of issues, from lower back and hip pain to intestinal discomfort (gas, bloating) and even menstrual pain. And if you've been having any breathing issues, talk to your therapist about working with the diaphragm specifically.

Your comfort is our top priority. Your therapist will ensure that only the area worked will be undraped. When needed an additional draping will be used for added discretion. Remember to tell your therapist if you're feeling uncomfortable in any way so they can make appropriate adjustments.

If you need more intensity, we can get things really moving. This massage is specifically designed to help with constipation, bloating, and slow digestion. This massage focuses on the deep muscles and large intestines to help unlock any blockages that may be present.
