Arc Therapeutic Massage offers a verity of massage modalities to address

add-on services to enhance your massage.
- Swedish Massage
- This is the relaxing, stress-reducing type of massage most people
think of when they want a massage. Swedish Massage includes gliding,
kneading, striking and friction strokes, stretching, joint movements,
gentle shaking, and rocking. Generally, the massage is full-body and
is very relaxing with extensive therapeutic benefits. Swedish Massage
session are typically one hour to an hour and a half, but can be shorter
or longer as desired.
- Deep Tissue
- Also called Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) or Trigger Point Therapy.
NMT is a system of soft tissue manipulation techniques that seek to
balance the nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. This one
of the methods used to help clients experiencing pain. This therapeutic
massage releases trigger points in muscles and helps correct muscular
imbalances that often cause pain and discomfort. Additionally, NMT
uses soft tissue manipulations on tendons and other connective tissue
to assist in muscle balance. NMT also addresses nerve pain caused
by pressure from soft tissues including muscles, fascia, and tendons.
NTM is effective in helping with conditions such as Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome (CTS), Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD), back pain,
neck pain, scoliosis, sciatica, Fibromyalgia (FMS) and migraine headaches.
- Sports Massage
- Focuses on the athletes body intended to assist them in reaching
their optimal athletic performance, maintain performance during an
event, and post-event recover. Sports massage allows an athlete to
train harder, prevent injuries, boost their performance, restore mobility
to injured tissues, stretch tissues that could not be stretched by
other means, and break down scar tissue.
