Lymphatic Cupping for the Head, Neck and Shoulders

This 30-minute manual lymphatic drainage session focuses on gently clearing the sinuses and upper respiratory system. Manual strokes and facial cups are used to move stagnant lymph for better breathing, decreased sinus pressure and swelling, and boosting the immune system. This session is ideal for those dealing with long-haul Covid symptoms, sinus congestion, headaches, and swelling around the face and/or neck.

*If you are recovering from a sinus infection, please wait 72 hours after your first symptoms to schedule a session*

CranialSacral Therapy

CranialSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the tissues that surround the central nervous system. By releasing restrictions around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body’s ability to self-correct, CranialSacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain and sports injuries to stroke and neurological impairment.

Scar Tissue Treatment: Dolphin Micro-Current Point Stimulation (MPS)

Dolphin MPS devices work on either side of a scar, bouncing concentrated direct current back and forth like a sewing needle to break down scar tissue. After a single treatment you will have increased pliability of the affected tissue, a decrease in pain, and overall better movement. Continuous treatment can also reverse visible signs of scar tissue. This treatment can be performed on new or old scar tissue, as well as, post-operative scarring, to aid in the healing process and any limitations that have developed from scar tissue over time. You cannot receive this treatment if you have a pacemaker or if you are pregnant.

Reiki

Traditional Usi Reiki originated from Japan. It is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is based on the idea that unseen life force energy flows through us and it is what causes us to live. The practitioner places their hands on or over the seven main energy centers of your body, also known as chakras. Reiki enhances the natural flow of this life energy to promote health and healing at all levels including mind, body and spirit.

Body Treatments (North Syracuse Only)

Enjoy a 60- or 90-minute massage with a hand, foot, and/or back scrub. These body treatments are excellent for exfoliating to remove dead skin cells, reducing calluses, improve circulation, and relieve muscle tension. Choose between an unscented, lavender or seasonal variety scrub.

Cupping

Add this ancient chinese technique which utilizes suction to increase circulation, break down muscle adhesions and increase range of motion. Choose between silicone finger pressure cups, hand pump cups for additional suction or Therabody vacuum cupping. Cupping can be added onto any treatment service from our Add-On list upon booking

Muscle/Athletic Taping (KinesioTaping)

Muscle taping creates a bio-mechanical lifting mechanism that lifts the skin away from the soft tissue underneath, which allows more blood to move into an injured area to accelerate healing and recovery. The fabric consists of cotton, nylon, and uses no drugs. Adhesive is a hypo-allergenic acrylic based adhesive and contains no latex. When applied over a stretched muscle, muscle tape lifts the skin, accelerating blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen available to the muscles, which reduces fatigue. Athletic taping also promotes lymph drainage. These combined effects are powerful: they allow the athlete to go harder for longer periods of time. Unlike compression garments, muscle tape can be applied to very specific areas of the body that are sometimes hard to reach, such as shoulders, knees, and joints. Cupping can be added onto any treatment service from our Add-On list upon booking with select trained Providers.

What Happens During a Chair Massage?

In a typical chair massage, you sit leaning forward into a massage chair with your face nestled in a plush face cradle while a therapist massages your neck, back, and arms.

A corporate chair massage allows your team to take care of themselves without having to leave the office. No preparation or change of clothes necessary!
