Charlotte Massage Therapy Services
Here you will find a description of the types of massage that I offer to help you get a better idea of what you want to achieve from your Charlotte massage session. You can choose just one type or you may find that you need a combination of massage therapies to fully address your wants and needs. For pricing information please see the hours and pricing page.
Swedish Massage:
Eighty-five percent of disease is related to being overstressed. If you're looking for stress relief and relaxation this is the massage for you. Using a light to firm pressure, this session is aimed at relaxing the body and reducing muscle tension while improving circulation and helping the body to rid itself of toxins. A Swedish massage may also lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate, and increase immune function. Buy Now!
Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue is an intense massage session lending special attention to areas of chronic tension to relieve pain and trigger points ("knots") in the affected muscles. If you have pain in an area but still want a good full body massage, this is the massage for you! Buy Now!
Medical/Neuromuscular Massage:
A very specific session focusing on one or two areas of the body to relieve chronic tension and trigger points as well as structurally realign the body. An excellent treatment to help injured muscles to heal properly from strains/sprains, whiplash, and low-back injury - even if the injury happened several years ago. Neuromuscular massage will also help reduce and maybe even eliminate symptoms of many common ailments such as: headaches, arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, tennis/golfer's elbow, plantar fascitis, shin splints, frozen shoulder, etc. This is my favorite type of massage to perform - this I why I specialize in it!

Pre-natal (Pregnancy) Massage:
During pregnancy the body secretes the hormones relaxin and extra estrogen, both of which cause the muscles, ligaments, and tendons to become more lax leading to increased soreness and more possibility of injury. The bones of the ribcage and pelvis are also shifting which can make for a very uncomfortable mom-to-be, especially if you have pre-existing conditions. Receiving massage during and after your pregnancy can alleviate pain and stress on the muscles and joints, increase blood flow and reduce swelling in the extremities, and relieve some of the stress and anxiety you may be feeling. I am certified in pregnancy massage and work with clients from their first trimester through their postnatal period. I love making new moms feel better! Buy Now!
Hot Stone Massage:
Hot stones are used to massage the body allowing deep relaxation and penetration of the muscles. The stones can also be placed on areas of tension to help release contracted muscles, and a combination of hot and cold stones can be used.The heat from the stones allows the therapist to get deeper into the muscle quicker and without as much pain. This type of massage is best for those who are either looking for deep relaxation or have extremely tight muscles. This service is currently only available in-office.
Reflexology:
This practice is based on the fact that there are reflex points in your feet which affect certain areas of your body. By working these points the therapist rids that area of the body of toxins to relieve pain and tension and help that area to perform better. Reflex points affect many areas of the body including organs. Reflexology can be done by itself in a 30-minute session or added on to a full-body massage (the most popular choice).
Chair/Event Massage:
Increase the productivity and morale of your employees or give your party guests something special by treating them to a 10-20 minute chair or table massage. Massages are performed on a specially designed massage chair or table while the recipient is fully clothed. Visit the Chair/event massage page for more details!
