Energy Medicine
Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points. Acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands.
Acupressure
An ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force (“qi”/ “chi”) to aid healing. Traditionally, this is a clothed treatment.

It is believed that when Qi is able to flow throughout the meridian systems unimpeded, the body begins to innately heal.
Acupuncture
Commonly utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture is linked to the belief that disease is caused by disruptions to the flow of energy, or Qi, in the body. Acupuncture stimulates points on or under the skin called Acupressure points, where Qi will be directed to or away from. The Qi then travels through channels called meridians.
Available with Dr. Ben Gokenbach
Reflexology is also convenient in cases where an area of the body is traumatized or diseased to the extent that direct manipulation is not appropriate.
Reflexology
Similar to Acupressure principles, Reflexology works with the body’s energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function via the Nervous System and network of fascia soft tissue. This technique is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation, and stimulate the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. It is especially useful in stress-related illness and emotional disorders. Clothed treatment.

As a harmonic flow of energy is strengthened, healing occurs through the return of physical, mental, and spiritual balance.
Reiki healing
In a Reiki session, the practitioner, trained to access and serve as a channel for the life force (ki or chi), places his or her hands-on, or just above, the client’s body in order to activate healing energy within receptive points on the body. The practitioner’s hands remain in each position for one to five minutes. Traditionally, this is a clothed service.

Deep-tissue* techniques are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise, tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques. Disrobed treatment.

Manual Lymph Drainage** technique is intended to stimulate the movement of the lymphatic fluids in order to assist the body in cleansing. Using a gentle, rhythmic technique that cleanses the connective tissue of inflammatory materials and toxins, enhances the activity of the immune system, reduces pain, and lowers the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. The most widely taught was created by Dr. Vodder of Austria and requires advanced training and precise movements. This is a disrobed service. (45m+)

Myofascial Release* is the three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement into the superficial fascial system (the tissue between the skin and muscles) in order to eliminate restrictions. It is an effective therapeutic approach in the relief of cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restricted mobility, chronic pain, and headaches.
First, an assessment is made by visually analyzing the human frame, followed by the palpation of the tissue texture of various fascial layers. Upon locating an area of fascial tension, gentle pressure is applied in the direction of the restriction.
Available with Richard Ventura
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)* is a comprehensive program of soft-tissue manipulation that balances the body’s central nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. The goal is to help relieve the pain and dysfunction by understanding and alleviating the underlying cause.
NMT can help individuals who experience poor movement patterns, which is often a symptom of a deeper problem. It is also used to locate and release spasms and over-contracted tissues, eliminate Trigger Points (see Trigger Point Therapy above), rebuild the strength of injured tissues, assist blood and lymphatic flow, restore postural alignment, proper biomechanics, and flexibility to the tissues. This is a disrobed service.

Sports massage (SM)* is designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. Traditionally, it is a clothed modality. There are three contexts in which SM can be useful to an athlete: pre-event, post-event, and injury treatment.
Pre-event massage is performed within 24 hours of athletic performance. Fast- paced and stimulating, it helps to establish blood flow and to warm up muscles.
Post-event massage is performed within 24 hours after athletic performance or event. The intent is to calm the nervous system and begin the process of flushing toxins and waste products out of the body. Post-event massage can reduce recovery time, enabling an athlete to resume training much sooner than rest alone would allow.
When an athlete sustains an injury, SM can often speed and improve the quality of healing.

Swedish Massage* is one of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, albeit often mistaken for Relaxation Massage. Swedish is actually a vigorous system designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. LMT’s use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements. The many benefits may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury. Disrobed service.
Available with Molly McNichols, Ryan Butler & Ashaleah
Trigger Point Therapy (TPT)* is based on the discoveries of Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons in which they found the causal relationship between chronic pain and its source. TPT is used to relieve muscular pain and dysfunction through applied pressure to Trigger Points (TPts) and through stretching exercises. TPts are defined as localized areas in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to pain when compressed. Pressure on TPs can send referred pain to other specific parts of the body. Clothed or disrobed options available.
