Swedish massage is the “standard” type of massage offered in most clinics, gyms, spas, and wellness centers; it is virtually synonymous with massage therapy. Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology (Eastern massage is often energy-based). Using lotion or oil, the massage therapist will typically begin with broad general strokes and then transition to specific strokes to address problem areas. Swedish massage provides full-body muscle relaxation, and it is helpful in recovering from an injury.
Session lengths can be 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 or 120 minutes.

Therapeutic massage targets and aims to correct range of motion limitations, spasms, constrictions, adhesions (aka: muscle knots) and other specific problems in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Therapeutic work is especially effective for chronic headaches, chronic pain and/or tightness, repetitive strain, postural problems, and/or injuries. Therapeutic work is often deep, but we hesitate to call it "Deep Tissue" because each therapist employs a variety of methods and techniques which allow them to work therapeutically without the work necessarily being "deep." Therapeutic massage does not have to be deeply painful to be effective. Your therapist will combine many modalities to effectively treat your specific problem(s); this may include utilizing trigger point therapy, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, cupping, assisted stretching, etc.
Session lengths can be 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 or 120 minutes.

Also known as prenatal massage, pregnancy massage is customized to an expectant mother's needs, but is most often used to promote relaxation. Since many pregnant women suffer from lower back pain and swollen ankles especially in the later months, prenatal massage is a safe, drug-free way to provide relief. We use a special maternity pillow so that the expectant mother can safely and comfortably lay face-down during her massage. Your therapist will modify certain techniques and avoid specific areas during your pregnancy massage.
Session lengths can be 30, 45, or 60 minutes.

Do you frequently suffer from headaches? If so, read on. Do one (or more) of these sound like your headache? A headache with the sensation that your temples are crushing into your brain. A stabbing pain at the base of your skull. A headache with brutal pains above and behind your eyes and/or through the top of your head. If you answered ‘yes’, then this is the massage for you! All the headaches described above are tension headaches; research shows that approximately 90% of all tension headaches originate in dysfunctional neck muscles! Don't suffer unnecessarily. This work is designed specifically to release and restore function to dysfunctional neck, shoulders and upper back muscles, help with jaw problems (TMJ disorder) and reestablish range of motion to the neck. The headache massage is designed specific to your symptoms and will include self-care suggestions to further enhance the effects of the massage.

Cupping massage is the combination of massage movements and negative pressure with the use of a suction device on the skin. A flexible silicone cup is positioned at the area to be treated and a vacuum is created within the cup to draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. The produced vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood and lymphatic circulation systemically and to the local area, relaxes muscle tissue and support, draws stagnation, pathogenic factors and toxins out of the body and releases a myriad of pain causing factors. The suction can be adjusted so pressure can be light to heavy. We love this massage for old, lingering problems! Cupping works great on back, shoulders, arms, chest, glutes, quads and hamstrings.
Session lengths can be 30 minutes (1 – 2 areas), 45 minutes (2 – 3 areas), 60 minutes (2 – 4 areas), 75 minutes (3 – 5 areas) or 90 minutes (4 – 6 areas).

MLD or Manual Lymphatic Drainage (sometimes called Lymphedema or Lymphatic massage) can effectively reduce traumatic and post-surgical edema (swelling) by helping your lymphatic system move fluid out of a swollen area. A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of smooth muscle tissue to do this, however, damage to the body from injuries, radiation, and/or surgeries (both medical and elective/cosmetic) can cause the lymphatic system to fail to remove this fluid buildup. Swelling is the enemy of healing! Your doctor or physical therapist may suggest MLD for swelling so the body can begin the healing process post-surgery or injury. You can read more about MLD here.
Other conditions can benefit to from MLD too! MLD can provide symptomatic relief of migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), stress, fatigue, and more. MLD also induces general relaxation and detoxification.
We will need to know additional information about your condition(s) and may need medical clearance and/or permission from your physician before you receive this type of work.
Please note: Kim and Jessica do not perform post-cosmetic surgery MLD. If you are seeking MLD after a face lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and/or a Brazilian Butt Lift, please consult your surgeon for a recommendation of a CMLDT that performs this work.
Please note: MLD is a gentle pressure technique and should only be performed by a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT). Kim Russom and Jessica Rushlau are LMTs and CMLDTs. MLD sessions will last between 30 - 90 minutes, based on how much work is needed (this will be determined during your first visit/consultation); several sessions of MLD will likely be needed to get edema under control.
