Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is an age old practice where touch is used to manipulate muscles and soft tissues of the body.

Massage therapists can help to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, decrease the physical manifestations of daily stress, improve circulation, increase range of motion, aid in athletic performance and recovery all while creating  an overall wellness in the client's physical health. 

• Trigger point therapy is a bodywork technique that involves the application of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body.

  It may also be called myofascial (myo meaning muscle, fascial meaning connective tissue) trigger point therapy.

• Deep tissue massages use firm pressure and slow stroked to massage deep layers of muscle and fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles.

  It can help relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, as well as anxiety.

• Soft tissue release is a technique that combination of Myofascial Release, Therapeutic Massage, and Active Assisted Stretching. The therapist applies precise pressure during a specific stretch performed that leads to spontaneous release of the injured muscle, regaining the original resting length of that muscle.

  Instead of focusing on slow and pressured movements to affect the deep layers, soft tissue massage focuses on working with a range of depths, pressures and durations.

Cupping

Cupping reaches deep into the soft tissue and pulls toxins and inflammation from the body to the surface where the lymphatic system can then eliminate them. 

It helps relieve acute and chronic muscle pain, anxiety, headache, migraines.

Can be added to any treatment or as a stand alone treatment.

At Elevate there is no added cost to add Cupping to your treatments.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the art of inserting tiny, thin needles into a person’s tissues at specific points to aid in reducing pain and help with a variety of ailments, such as headaches, migraines, musculoskeletal pain, sinus congestion, arthritis, stress reduction and overall well being.

From a Traditional Chinese medicine standpoint acupuncture will help with balancing energy known as Qi (chee) through meridian pathways (similar to blood flowing through our veins). Needling these points will rebalance the body's energy.

From a western medicine standpoint acupuncture will help with stimulating the muscles, soft tissues, and nerve pathways, promoting a natural healing and recovery response.

Neurofunctional Acupuncture therapy is peripheral nerve stimulation technique, where acupuncture needles are inserted into neurofunctional sites.
