Many people feel the benefits of massage at Blue Moon within minutes of lying down on the massage table: a quiet, comfortable atmosphere creates mental relaxation; touch tailored to your needs releases muscle tension, soothes sore muscles, increases blood flow and improves circulation. This is your time to relax and unwind.
At Blue Moon Massage it is all about the individual so no two massage sessions are the identical, just as no two people are the same. Your massage therapist will listen carefully to your needs, make sure you are totally comfortable, seek feedback during and after your massage to ensure that you have a positive experience.
STYLE/SERVICES
Swedish massage – This style utilizes long, flowing strokes as with varying depth of pressure to suit your needs. Swedish massage is designed to relax muscles, relieve stress and increase circulation and blood flow. Oil or lotion is used on the skin to reduce friction and allow smooth strokes.
Deep Tissue – Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders where adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) may have formed in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. While many of the same strokes are used in Swedish massage, the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.
Trigger point – A trigger point is a hyperirritable spot – like a tender nodule – that is painful. Located in a taut band of muscles fibers, it is called a trigger point because it “triggers” a painful response. Trigger points can also cause ‘referred pain’ in tissues supplied by the same nerves. It took a while to get the muscle in that condition, and it will likely take several massages to get rid of it. Also, these points are often areas of chronic “holding” and you need to learn how to move in different ways to keep them from recurring. This is where yoga and massage really complement each other!
Hot Stone Therapy – Hot Stone Therapy combines healing massage with breathing techniques (pranayama) while applying heated stones to the meridian lines of the body. This warmth promotes lymphatic drainage, relaxation and flexibility awakening the body’s vitality at all levels.
Aromatherapy – While the oil or lotion used on the skin is unscented, essential oils of your choice are available to scent the room to produce the result you wish to achieve – relaxation, mental alertness, and so on.
Reiki – Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a gentle hands-on healing method that uses the universal life force energy, known as chi. This healing energy helps to reduce stress, relaxes and balances, reduces or eliminates aches/pains and also releases energetic blocks. A calming and pleasant experience, Reiki works on all levels of our being, (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) and can be an excellent compliment to massage, yoga and traditional medicine.
