​Hand Placement Therapy

No product or oil will be used.
​
Hand Placement Therapy is a specific set of hand positions, used to touch various areas of the body. Each hand position is held over an area of the body, corresponding to internal organs, glands, and nervous system. The client wears loose, comfortable clothing during the session, while the practitioner administers the hand placement treatment.
Giving and receiving touch is a natural experience; usually midwives and doctors are the first to touch our small bodies; while our parents maintain physical contact with us throughout our lives. When we receive kind touch, many chemical exchanges occur in our brains that induce connection, pleasure, clarity, focus, pain-relief, and a general sense of wellness.

​Four-Handed Massage (Swedish or Clinical)​
$215
Four hand massage involves two therapists working simultaneously, creating a choreographed or free-flowing massage. During the most classic form of four-hand massage, the therapists mirror each other, with one taking the lead while the other follows. The therapists usually use Swedish-style massage techniques, combining long, flowing strokes with other techniques that are designed to relax the body. Typically, clients can request special attention for one area of the body, such as the back or legs, and the therapists can tailor the session to the needs of the client.
​Swedish Massage (Classical)

90 min-$120
Classical Massage is the European term for Swedish Style massage here in the U.S. All massage professionals are trained in Swedish massage, which is the foundation for massage in the West. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in hospital patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, over a period of eight weeks.
​Sports Therapy
​​60 min-$90

Sports Therapy is defined as utilizing specific, hands-on techniques, designed to counter-balance the stress caused by athletic performance. Sports massage may include the use of hot or cold packs (Hydrotherapy) to relax the muscles, and make them more responsive to the massage work. Sports Therapy can be used to warm up the body before a workout, recover after athletic performance, and can be used to treat minor injury.
