Massage Therapies

    Massage is an important method of natural healing that has been used for centuries to
    help relieve muscle pain or weakness and assist in recovery from injuries or illness. It
    also can provide a wide range of other health benefits including stress reduction, improved
    sleep quality, greater concentration, strengthening the immune system, lowering blood
    pressure, and increasing flexibility or range of motion.

Pacific Way Wellness Center offers the following types of massage therapy:

• Swedish Massage- a typical relaxation therapy involving a combination of five basic strokes (light touch, kneading, rhythmic tapping, compression, and vibration) that helps to improve circulation, pain relief, and overall health/well-being

• Deep Tissue Massage- a deeper therapy using slow strokes, direct pressure, or friction across the grain of the muscle to relieve chronic aches and pains

• Lymphatic Drainage Therapy- This relaxing and hands on technique is designed to attain and sustain proper functioning of the human fluid system through gentle, manual manuevers to aid in the recirculation of body fluids.

• Pregnancy Massage - utilizes a special pillow that allows the expectant mom to lie on her stomach or her side, providing a safe and drug-free method to relieve aches and pains, alleviate stress on weight bearing joints, and ease pressure on the nervous system.
