MASSAGE
Soft Tissue or Deep Tissue?
Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is highly effective for breaking down knots, adhesions, and scar tissue, as well as relieving pressure points such as trigger points throughout the body. This technique is especially beneficial for addressing general aches and pains from day-to-day activities, and it's also ideal for athletes or those who spend long hours sitting.
Jerome incorporates Deep Tissue techniques in both Sports and Remedial Massage. However, if you prefer a gentler approach, we recommend booking a Swedish Massage for a more relaxing experience. Rest assured, no matter which massage you choose, we will always tailor the pressure and technique to your comfort level, ensuring a therapeutic experience that works for you!
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage Therapy is often associated with relaxation, but its benefits go far beyond that. It is highly effective for increasing oxygen levels in the blood, reducing muscle toxins, improving circulation, enhancing flexibility, and relieving tension. Recent studies have shown that a 45-minute Swedish massage can significantly lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, as well as arginine vasopressin, which can contribute to higher cortisol levels. Additionally, Swedish massage has been shown to increase the number of lymphocytes—white blood cells that support the immune system—providing a boost to the body's defenses against colds and flu.
Ally has trained in a variety of massage techniques over the years, and tailors each session to meet your individual needs. Whether you require just one technique or a combination of several, she will create a personalized therapeutic massage to address your specific goals and ensure the best possible results.

Sports and Remedial Massage
Sports Massage is designed to prevent and treat injuries related to physical activity, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to stay in shape or remain physically active. Whether you’re preparing for a workout, engaging in sports, or recovering afterward, Sports Massage uses techniques that enhance endurance and performance, minimize the risk of injury, and reduce recovery time if injury occurs.
This deep and intense treatment is based on the principles of Swedish Massage and incorporates advanced soft tissue techniques such as stretching, compression, myofascial release, friction, and trigger point therapy.
How Sports and Remedial Massage Can Help:
-
Muscular Injuries: Sprains, strains, and injuries like rotator cuff problems can restrict movement and cause pain. Sports Massage helps ease discomfort, restore fluid motion, and accelerate recovery.
-
Everyday Aches: Daily activities, from repetitive movements to poor posture, can lead to muscle tension and discomfort. Sports Massage alleviates the stress of everyday tasks, soothing tight muscles and relieving tension.
-
Healing Scar Tissue: Scarring can be uncomfortable and take time to heal. Massage helps break down scar tissue, improving flexibility and reducing the visibility of scars.
-
Event Preparation and Recovery: Whether you’re gearing up for a big event or simply preparing for your next gym session, Sports Massage can help prime your muscles and aid in quicker recovery afterward.
What Happens During the Session?
We begin by assessing your posture, joints, and range of motion to identify the source of any injuries or discomfort. Your treatment plan will then be tailored to your specific needs, incorporating the appropriate massage techniques to address your condition. This holistic approach is effective for a wide range of issues.
While Sports Massage is ideal for athletes, you don’t have to be a sports person to benefit! Many individuals choose this type of massage because it is highly targeted and can address specific areas of concern, even if they don’t participate in regular exercise. Your treatment will always be customized to your individual needs.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific reflex points on the feet and hands correspond to various organs, glands, and systems throughout the body. By applying gentle pressure with the thumb and fingers to these reflex areas, Reflexology helps stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and restore balance.
This technique induces a deep state of relaxation, allowing the body to tap into its own healing properties. In addition to its immediate benefits, Reflexology can also serve as a form of preventative care, promoting long-term wellness. It’s important to note that Reflexology is a scientifically-backed therapy, distinct from simple foot massage, and is recognized as an advanced form of health treatment. In fact, many health insurance policies cover Reflexology.
Reflexology may be beneficial for those experiencing:
-
Anxiety and sleep disorders

Perimenopause symptoms/Hormonal imbalances

Headaches and migraines
-
Digestive issues
-
Skin conditions

Joint and muscular pain
