Types of Massages I offer...  Any questions just ask!

Massage This is our standard massage when you come to Body Mechanix Massage Therapy unless you pick a specialty massage. It is a massage that I will customize to your needs using the information I get from our intake when you arrive. This is a massage using a mixture of Swedish Massage techniques, Neuromuscular Therapy, hot and or cold therapy. Hot therapy could be achieved by using hot towels and or a few hot stones.  Cold therapy is achieved by using cold stones. Any of these could be used to get the desired results of the massage.  

Ashiatsu-   Ashi=foot Atsu=Pressure  Bars on the ceiling are used for balance while the therapist uses their bare feet to perform massage.  Deep long gliding strokes ans some Swedish sprinkled in

Deep Tissue-  Long deep strokes and sustained pressure will help your muscles melt into relaxation. Your therapist will use elbows and forearms to achieve the pressure desired. 

Fijian/Thai Massage-  Do you find that deep tissue massage just is not deep enough?  Get down on the floor on a mat and get a massage with your therapists feet and body weight.  This is a fully clothed massage. Thai stretches are added in

Fire and Ice Massage- Great for inflammation and pain reduction! Use of cold and hot stones are both used during this massge.  Cold stones used during the massage will help calm inflammation and can help relieve sinus pressure and headaches.  Hot stones will help your muscles melt into a deeper state of relaxation.
