Avalon Body & Wellness invites you to try our newest service, Massage
Therapy!
 Therapeutic
touch is used instinctively every day of our lives. It is actively
used for athletes, persons with injuries, elderly and children
for every day relaxation. Avalon Body and Wellness is dedicated
to helping our clients obtain the full health and wellness benefit
from Massage Therapy. Avalon's certified massage therapists offer
the following somatic therapy sessions:
Avalon Signature Therapeutic Massage
This treatment is designed to use specific manipulations to improve
circulation, lymph drainage and chronic muscular tension. The therapeutic
massage stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them pliable
and supple. Muscle tissues will relax and unwind with every stroke.
The relief for connective tissue adhesions will be immediately noticeable.
Not only will you feel relaxed but your tension and pain will dissipate
immediately. This is ideal for clients with ongoing exterior muscular
pain, tension, fatigue, and lack of balance within the body.
Avalon Essential Wellness Massage
Essential Wellness treatments target the client's spiritual, emotional
and physical energies. Very similar to Swedish Massage, each technique
will stimulate the body's circulatory system and parasympathetic
nervous system. The techniques used will also increase the oxygen
flow in the blood thus releasing toxins from the muscles. In turn
endorphins are released into the body to promote health and happiness.
During the session you feel rejuvenated and relaxed, afterwards
you are left with a wonderful sense of peace and clarity.
Avalon Deep Tissue Massage Therapy
 The
deepest layers of the muscle tissue receive the focus of this treatment.
When muscles are overused or stressed it causes the tissues to block
oxygen and nutrients from circulating. This stress can cause fatigue,
pain and discomfort throughout the body. From this, adhesions or “knots” can
form in certain muscles. The only way to rid your body of these is
through deep and intensive Massage Therapy.
Striping, Cross-Friction,
Firm Pressure, along with Trigger Point therapy are a few of the
modalities used to release blockages and deeply held patterns of
tension. This treatment is both therapeutic and corrective for the
entire body. During treatment the client can expect to feel intensity
through each stroke and eventually the muscles will release and return
to their original state.
Some muscle tension and adhesions, which have been present for a
long duration of time, may require multiple Deep Tissue Massage sessions
before being released. Our massage therapists will assess these particular
areas of concern and make recommendations on the number and consistency
of treatments to help you return to your original state.
Avalon Classic Aromatherapy Massage
Essential oils have been used throughout history for relaxation and
stimulation of certain areas of the body. The olfactory bulb in brain
receives and relays information through the limbic system. The limbic
system is responsible for mood, motivation, controlling
emotions, emotional responses, hormonal secretions and pain & pleasure
sensations.
Soft tissue manipulation using essential oils and applied heat will
stimulate the limbic system thereby invigorating the body and mind.
Tired and achy muscles respond rapidly to the calming fragrances.
The application of hot towels to the oils on the body ensures each
of the oils will reach the muscles causing a reaction. The oils can
relax, restore energy and generate a feeling of well being to the
body. This massage includes Swedish and Neuromuscular techniques
to incorporate a sense of wellness. Expect a feeling of clarity and
rejuvenation after an Aromatherapy Massage.
Avalon Hot Stone Massage
Ancient cultures and civilizations have used Hot Stones for everything
from heating their homes to placing them on the body for pain relief.
In India, Hot Stones were used to open up energy blockages in the
body while easing weary muscles. Today, Hot Stone Therapy has become
a known modality to relieve pain and tension in the mind and body.
Hot Stone Massage is a Holistic Healing Art, incorporating the human
body and mind with nature. Placement of the stones on energy sources
in the human body will ensure maximum relaxation. The technique uses
heated stones and essential oil to relax and soothe weary muscles.
The warmth of the stone penetrates deep into muscle tissue to aid
in detoxification of the body. Hot Stone Massage will help free you
from tension and impart a sense of overflowing relaxation.
Additional massage techniques are covered in the Massage
Techniques page.
