• Shiatsu - An Asian form of massage performed on a comfortable mat on the floor. You remain clothed and are gently stretched and pressed to balance your acupuncture points. Some health benefits are increased flexibility, stress reduction, relief from muscle soreness, lowered blood pressure, decreased anxiety, and an increased awareness of mind and body issues.
   

• Craniosacral Therapy (CST) – Using a soft touch, generally no greater than the weight of a nickel, the therapist releases restrictions in the spinal areas of your head, neck, shoulders, and back. This results in improved function of your nervous system, releasing patterns of disease and congestion. CST is especially beneficial for migraines, chronic neck and back pain, motor-coordination impairments, orthopedic problems, scoliosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, TMJ, immune disorders, and PTSD.
   

• Myofascial Therapy – This hands-on technique releases the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds and protects your muscles from head to toe. Your muscles become more flexible, more hydrated, and generally able to prevent injuries and strain. Myofascial therapy increases range of motion and reduces limits caused by scarring, repetitive trauma, poor posture, stress, and inflammation. Many problems that haven’t responded to traditional medical intervention can be relieved with this method, including back and hip pain, migraines, TMJ, menstrual problems, neck pain, post-surgery trauma, sports injuries, sciatica, and disc problems.
   

• Herbal Massage – A warm, moist knotted cloth filled with herbs is massaged along acupressure zones of your body. Benefits are increased blood flow and lymphatic drainage which boosts your immunity and vitality. The herbs’ astringent properties draw out toxins purifying, cleansing, and soothing your skin.
   
• Reiki - a deeply relaxing treatment developed in Japan that has been practiced for thousands of years. After the tension is released from your body, Reiki energy allows your body to heal itself. In this way, a Reiki treatment is similar to the restorative power of a good night’s sleep, condensed into one hour. You lie on a massage table and remain clothed while the Reiki practitioner places her hands on places of pain, tension, or dysfunction. Each treatment is tailored to your needs.
   
• Chair Massage - Upper body relaxation to your head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands with seated massage.  Rest comfortably on a specially designed chair while receiving firm pressure through your clothing. Call us for arrangements at your event or workplace www.SaratogaChairMassage.com
