Our Signature Himalayan Salt Stone Massage uses warm salt crystal stones to soothe away stress and tension, and promote an increased sense of well-being.

Its grounding properties even help to improve sleep and balance the Central Nervous System.

A Himalayan Salt Stone Massage can also zero out the body’s electromagnetic field. Electronic devices such as phones and computers can disrupt natural energy flow within the body. The stone’s neutral structure and natural resonant frequency help to realign energy pathways and restore balance to the central nervous system. Additionally, the stone’s natural salt properties gently exfoliate promoting naturally smooth and silky skin, while reducing signs of aging.

The Swedish Massage is one of the most familiar types of bodywork performed today, with one of the primary goals being to simply relax the entire body. This is done by massaging the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of the heart. Swedish Massage raises the level of oxygen in the blood and releases toxins. Swedish massage increases the body's circulation of blood and lymph, which in turn cleanses and re-nourishes soft tissue, the skin and muscle.

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. Deep tissue work creates micro-tears in the fascia, which fill with elastin and collagen in about three days, creating muscles that are more flexible, supple and have greater range of motion. For the most success, chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, working on healthier postural movements and stretching in-between a regular program of massage.

From the serious athlete to a weekend warrior, adding elements of sports massage to your next session at JMS can enhance your flexibility, recovery time, as well as help to prevent injury reoccurrence.

Think of a sports massage as a “more focused” deep tissue massage. The two massages are similar – firm pressure, focusing on muscles and connective tissue deep within the body. But with a sports massage, your massage therapist may incorporate stretching and the session may be targeted to a specific area of the body.

You’re rubbing a sore muscle and suddenly flinch in pain. Ouch! Why does that one tiny spot hurt so much? Chances are, you’ve developed a trigger point.

Luckily, trigger point massage at JMS is a simple, non-invasive way to release those tight spots and alleviate your pain.

Promote DEEPER muscle relaxation with a Hot Stone Massage!

Hot stone massage therapy helps melt away tension, ease muscle stiffness, and increase circulation and metabolism. The direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing our therapists access to deeper muscle layers. Hot stones, when coupled with massage, also help to expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body.

Ask your JMS massage therapist about incorporating Hot Stones into your next massage! You won’t regret it.

Cold stone massage therapy involves chilling smooth stones and then gently placing or rolling them over the face, neck, or other areas of the body. The cooling sensations from this type of cryotherapy cause vasoconstriction of the blood vessels. And once the cold stones are removed from the skin, the blood vessels begin dilating and supplying fresh blood and oxygen to the affected areas.

One of the more obvious benefits of cooling your body using cold stones is alleviating discomfort associated with high body temperatures and hot flashes. But beyond that, there are therapeutic benefits for a variety of other conditions. And unlike treatments using ice, cold stones don’t cause desensitization of the skin. Cold stones can promote circulation, reduce inflamed swelling, decrease muscle spasms, and acts as a powerful decongestant for the body.

Here are some of the more common benefits of cold stone massage:

• Boost Circulation

While massage therapy using cold stones can help improve overall circulation, it may also help to reduce high blood pressure.

• Relieve Migraines

When cold stones are rolled or placed on the temples, forehead, and sides of the face, this massage helps reduce the flow of blood rushing to these areas. This can relieve migraines and severe headaches by reducing pulsing sensations, throbbing pain, and pounding discomfort.

Unlike traditional massage therapy, myofascial release is an advanced type of hands-on soft tissue manipulation that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to stretch tight and sore areas and, thus, eliminate pain and restore motion.

This manual technique uses sustained pressure into the fascia. In the process, it relaxes contracted muscles and increases venous and lymphatic drainage of the released toxins in the affected area.

If you are experiencing pain in your muscles, tendons, ligaments, or joints, and it doesn’t respond to more conventional treatments, we may incorporate myofascial release into your massage session in order to restore tissue health, increase your range of motion, and improve function.

Also known as Thai Yoga Massage, Thai massage respects the body's limits, while encouraging clients to reach their edge of flexibility-but never beyond. Thai massage uses acupressure, massage, and passive-assisted stretching, where therapists help clients move into their stretch.

The work is purposely slow as the therapist guides clients through the movements, being ever mindful of their physical limitations. Some say the combination of movements and focused awareness during a Thai massage session creates a slow, flowing dance between practitioner and client.

Thai massage is performed on a soft floor mat, with clients fully clothed in loose, comfortable attire suitable for the deep stretching that will be part of the session. Pillows and bolsters may be used for better client support. This interactive form of bodywork can utilize tai chi, rocking and rhythmic motion, massage, and assisted stretching. Practitioners may use their hands, feet, knees, elbows, and legs to facilitate the process. No oil is used during these sessions.

Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. Reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.

Reflexology works from maps of predefined pressure points that are located on the hands and feet. These pressure points are reputed to connect directly through the nervous system and affect the bodily organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology therapy. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain, illness, or potential debility can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location.

For everyone who enjoys the luxury of massage, imagine the luxury of two massage therapists working in tandem. This choreographed massage utilizes Swedish techniques and long, continuous strokes and is a profoundly renewing, revitalizing and unique experience.

As people age, there appears to be a tendency to slow down, but this does not necessarily have to be so. Many senior citizens are regularly physically active, participating in leisure activities while others are socially active, attending weekly dances, volunteering with local organizations or playing with their grandchildren. The unifying force in active seniors is their desire to move, be healthy and retain their independence.

Similar to many other body rhythms that can be felt or measured, like the pulse or respiratory rate, the Lymphatic System has it's own subtle rhythm. By applying light pressure along your lymphatic system mimicking the natural drainage of the lymph flow you aid the body to detoxify and eliminate metabolic waste. Lymphatic Massage is a gentle, non-invasive massage technique that stimulates the flow of lymph fluid in the Lymphatic System. During a lymphatic drainage session, feather light touch is used following the direction of the lymph flow. This touch and flow stimulates the stretch receptors and activates the lymph to move more efficiently. This technique is repeated through a sequence based on a thorough knowledge of the lymph system. The gentle manipulations of the practitioner are painless and often so pleasant and relaxing that many of our clients fall asleep during their one hour session!

Sports Cupping can be thought of as the inverse of massage. Cupping helps to add more blood to your sore muscles for added pain relief, it helps relieve inflammation as well as it aids in your relaxation! The suction of Cupping Therapy uses pressure to pull skin, tissue, and muscle upward rather than applying pressure. The underlying tissue is raised into the cup, enhancing circulation, lymphatic drainage, and fascia release. Cupping helps relieve pain and pulls toxins from the body tissues.

Clients recovering from the flu, colds, coughs, back and muscle pain, poor circulation, anxiety, tension, stress and more will benefit from cupping therapy at JMS!

Cranial sacral therapy (CST) is a type of bodywork that relieves compression in the bones of the head, sacrum (a triangular bone in the lower back), and spinal column.

CST is noninvasive. It uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve the stress and pain caused by compression. Cranial sacral massage works to restore the natural position of the bones and ease muscle tension. Adding CST to your next session can help reduce overall stress levels, ease neck and back pain, and provide migraine headache relief.

Let us know if you’d like to work some cranial sacral therapy techniques into your next visit with us!

Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is not massage nor is it based on belief or suggestion.

It is a subtle and effective form of energy work using spiritually guided life force energy. Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. Reiki Practitioners understand that everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in themselves and help others.

It is believed that a person’s “ki” or energy should be strong and free flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance.
