Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is the use of specific tools to address fascial restrictions, soft tissue fibrosis, and chronic inflammation, to reduce pain and increase range of motion. 

​

Briana use surgical steel instruments and starts by lightly running them over the body area to find areas of adhesion and then use the tools to address the problem. 

Briana is a Certified Lymphatic Drainage 1 Therapist through The Chickly Institute.

Lymphatic Drainage (LD) is a gentle, noninvasive modality designed to assist lymph flow. Lymph vessels are found throughout the body, but 70% of the vessels are located just below the skin. By using light, rhythmic, and targeted massage techniques, practitioners assist the body in clearing sluggish tissue of waste and swelling.  

​

Because of the function of the lymphatic system, LD can benefit just about everyone. If you're feeling tired and low on energy, or if you've been sick or under the weather and feeling like your body is fighting to get back on track, LD is for you. If you have chronic or acute swelling, LD is for you. If you have an immune deficiency or autoimmune disease, LD is for you. In addition, athletes, surgical patients, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue sufferers, as well as acne and other skin issue sufferers, LD is for you.

This session starts with Guided Relaxation followed by Integrative Massage. This is the ultimate mind and body treatment. 

This treatment will help clear up congestion, ease headache, decrease inflammation, and help you breath easier. 

We use an integrative approach to this treatment dependent upon your specific issues. You will typically be supine (face up) with an incline if needed. Hot stones, essential oils, steam towels, acupressure, lymphatic drainage, neuromuscular therapy, and tapotament may be used. Not only will you breath easier after this treatment, but you will feel immensely relaxed.  

Cupping is the use of negative pressure to increase blood flow and focus on fascial movement. Briana uses silicone cups and moves them in similar fashion to massage as well as leaves them on specific points. This is a great alternative to traditional deep (inward) pressure.

Charissa is a Certified DeepFeet Bar Therapist.

Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing their feet and body weight; working with gravity instead of against it. Ashiatsu therapists are able to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing pain or discomfort to themselves or the receiving client. Cream or oil is applied to the clients body making this deep therapeutic massage fluid and relaxing. Parallel bars are used above the massage table for balance, support and client safety.

Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries. A combination of massage techniques and stretching are incorporated. Clients are asked to arrive to the appointment in comfortable athletic clothing.

​

Sports Massage is broken down into 

Pre-event: Performed up to 30 min - 24 hours before competition. A light, invigorating session designed to prepare your body and mind for your event. 

Inter-event: Performed between competitions on the same day and lasts about 10 minutes, concentrating on main muscles stressed during activity. Inter-event massage improves muscle recovery between repeated bouts of strenuous activity. 

Post-event: Performed within 48 hours after competition lasting 15-90 minutes. This session focuses on restoring the body to its pre-event condition by reducing recovery time, treating injuries and relaxing muscles.

Maintenance: 30-90 minute weekly or bi-monthly sessions designed to reduce recovery time between intense workouts, decrease muscle tightness, release holding patterns and reduce the potential for injury.

We have extensive training in headache care, including sinus, tension, migraine, and cluster.

We combine modalities and unique knowledge base to address the client's specific needs. 

Hot stone massage is a type of massage that involves the use of smooth, heated stones that are placed on the body and used as tools in the during the massage. The penetrating heat and weight of the stones warm and relax tense muscles so the therapist can work deeper, more quickly.  Basalt or Himalayn Salt stones are used. Hot stones are placed on specific points, varying depending on areas of muscle tension and the client's health history. 

​

Hot stone massage is a deeply relaxing, yet deep massage. Along with the benefits of a general massage, this massage quickly increases circulation, relaxes muscles, and increases range of motion.
