Hwal Gon Massage (Acupressure Massage)

 Hwal Gon is a Korean technique that releases joint stiffness, and muscle tension by compression, rocking movement and stretching using the meridian channels (energy paths) as a map to release blockages that are causing muscle and organ dysfunctions. It can align distortion in your body and bring deeper relaxation.

Orthopedic Massage (Targeted on specific issues)

If we call Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage routine whole-body massage for relaxation and maintenance, orthopedic massage is a targeted massage for addressing specific issues to alleviate pain and restore mobility. Trigger point and myofascial release techniques are applied for effectiveness. 

Trigger Point Therapy

When trigger points are present, the surrounding area of the muscle is dense, and you can find a nodule when you pinch or compress the area. Trigger points refer pain to in other areas, and that makes it difficult to treat muscle issues because where you are feeling pain is not necessary the cause of pain. A skilled massage therapist who specializes in trigger point therapy can find and work on your trigger points, and you can continue to work on them after the session. It helps to improve the range of motion and heal injuries below the surface.

Deep Tissue Massage/ Neuromuscular Therapy

Deep Tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It utilizes slow strokes with direct pressure or friction on the contracted areas of muscle and fascia. It is also a more focused type of massage that works to release chronic muscle tension or knots with the fingers, elbows, forearms, or fists. We communicate with our client closely so it can be penetrating to address the issue and yet you can experience "good healing pain". 

Myoskeletal Alignment Technique

A unique hands-on bodywork system designed to restore function, relieve pain, re-balance, and re-educate the body based on concepts and principles from Rolfing, osteopathy, and related physical medicine. This technique focuses on detecting and correcting strain patterns to prevent back/neck pain and combines deep-tissue work with assisted stretching and non-force spinal alignment.

Vacuum Cupping Therapy

Derived from Ancient China, our cupping method is unique and effective.  By creating suction and negative pressure, Vacuum Cupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles and tone attachments, loosen adhesion and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.
