Therapeutic Power of Weighted Blankets for Adults and Children

Incorporating a weighted blanket into your daily routine can bring a multitude of benefits for both adults and children alike. These specially designed blankets, filled with evenly distributed weights, provide a gentle, soothing pressure that promotes relaxation and tranquility. For adults, this can lead to improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and enhanced overall well-being. The deep touch pressure stimulation generated by a weighted blanket has been shown to increase serotonin and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol production, resulting in a more balanced and restful sleep cycle. For children, weighted blankets offer a calming sensory experience that can aid in managing conditions like ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorders. They provide a safe, non-invasive solution to alleviate restlessness and improve focus, ultimately enhancing their daily activities and learning experiences. Discover the transformative effects of a weighted blanket and embrace a more serene and balanced lifestyle for both you and your loved ones.

Our Massage Services

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Therapeutic/Orthopedic Massage

Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. Our goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating. We have recently upgraded to Synergy Stones. This waterless system of hot stone massage allows you to have a full- body service, or spot-treatment without having to decide when booking. It requires 15-minutes instead of over an hour.

Stretching Session

Developed by Aaron Mattes, Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic system for improving your flexibility and overall well-being. As you probably already know, stretching your muscles not only reduces your chance of injury, but also strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation. Typically added to a massage but can also be stand-alone.
