Swedish Massage
Allow your stress and anxiety be swept away. Our swedish massage uses gentle strokes and a nice firm pressure to help ease aching and tense muscles.
Therapeutic Massage
The use of a combination of techniques to help the body find relief from either a specific muscular problem or just lots of tension.
SMRT
Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique, or SMRT for short, is an amazing way of working with that body that can be done as a stand alone treatment or within your already booked massage!
What is SMRT? This technique works with you body to allow the muscles to relax without having to use a lot of pressure. The therapist does this by moving with your body in the way the muscles want to move. This allows muscles to shorten, which then allows that part of the body to relax.
This is a great technique for everyone! The fact that it does not require heavy pressure to release muscle tissue means it’s safe for people who have any kind of issue, including those folks living with cancer or just don’t like having a considerable amount of pressure used on them.
Reiki
Reiki can be a very difficult modality to describe. You hear about it all over the place, but it’s not quite as tangible as a massage is. So what is Reiki????
Reiki is a gentle process. It can be done as either hands on or hands off (as each practitioner has their own way of working with energy). The practioner uses their knowledge of Reiki to channel the Universal Energy through themselves and passes that onto the client. The client will usually feel a warmth while Reiki is being performed. (I say usually because sometimes you can also feel coolness, depending on what the energy needs to do.) People will usually feel peaceful and relaxed after a Reiki session.
Mind Body Reintegration Massage
Do you feel like you’re disconnected from yourself? Feeling run down and want to be picked back up? Life can be busy, and we often forget to take the time for ourselves to rest and rejuvenate. We tend to forget that our bodies need our time as much as all of those other tasks. When this happens we become more and more drained and start feeling tired. Why Knot try the Mind-Body Reintegration Special??
This massage integrates firm but gentle massage strokes and reiki to allow your body to relax in a way that may not happen with just massage or reiki alone. This slow gentle massage allows your body’s nervous system to slow down and process each massage stroke as it happens. Every time our therapist rests their hands on a muscle, it will deepen your brains connection to your body. Reiki will assist in the relaxation and give you extra energy for the rest of your day. Soft gentle music along with low ambient lighting will add another dimension to let your mind drift off so that you can find the relaxation that your body is craving! Extras such as essential oils can be included.
