Massage Services
Deep Tissue Massage
Using specialized techniques to reach the deeper layers of muscle, deep tissue massage addresses target problem areas, aches and pains, spasms and muscle tightness. This healing massage promotes increased muscle function and range of motion as well as pain relief.
Swedish Massage
A soothing "wellness" massage for the mind and body, Swedish massage promotes stress relief and full body relaxation.
Reflexology
Practiced in diverse cultures for centuries, reflexology can alleviate headaches, reduce back and arthritic pain, enhance circulation, increase energy, improve sleep and ease pain relating to a variety of medical conditions. This massage technique focuses on pressure points in the feet and hands that correlate to other parts of the body that may be experiencing pain or fatigue.
Aromatherapy
Massage combined with the use of essential oils that promotes healing, pain relief and relaxation.
Heated Stone Massage
This technique combines a luxurious and relaxing massage with deep heat therapy. Smooth, polished basalt lava stones are heated and incorporated into the massage, providing the perfect treatment to loosen tight muscles, relieve stress and ease tension.
Ear Candling
Candling has been used by the Egyptians and Native American Indians to relieve pressure in sinuses and ears to improve balance. A hollow candle is placed on the edge of the ear and when the top end is lit, the resulting smoke helps dry out fluids. It also functions as a gentle vacuum to remove excess wax, a chief cause of temporary hearing loss.
Reiki
Reiki is an ancient form of healing offering a deep relaxation and nourishing healing for the body, mind and spirit. Reiki is not a substitute for conventional medicine but is used with great success to treat all kinds of physical and stress related illnesses. The session is approximately one hour and the recipient lays fully clothed and comfortable on the massage table.
Shiatsu (finger pressure)
Acupressure is a form of Oriental therapy. This treatment stimulates circulation and flow of lymphatic fluid. It releases toxins, deep tension, and stiffness from muscles. The client wears loose fitting clothing during this session.
Pre-natal
Aids in relaxation, promotes circulation, reduces edema and muscular tension due to pregnancy. Padding and pillows provided to ensure the client's comfort.
Myofascial Release
Because of trauma or overuse tissue can develop adhesions and harden, which decreases mobility. Therefore, the myofascial release techniques are used to promote a more fluid state for the fascia. Using specific pressure in specific directions, the fascia warms and "melts" to allow for deeper work to be done.
Sports Massage
The main focus of sports massage is to improve the performance of the athlete within specific time frames relative to an event. Variations of techniques will be applied based on pre-event, post-event or rehabilitation necessities.

Testimonials
"I have been a client of Alternative Therapy for several years. One of the services I thoroughly enjoy is reflexology. I believe that it has improved my overall health and well-being. My therapist is truly gifted in this area. Her use of pressure and the proper technique creates relaxation, soothes tired feet, reduces pain and rejuvenates. It's absolutely amazing how massaging and this process cause relief in other parts of your body. It is a wonderful way to relieve tension."
"WONDERFUL…WONDERFUL…WONDERFUL!!! That's exactly how I feel after my massage. I feel like a new person. My joints don't ache, I'm not stiff anymore. It is one of the most enjoyable hours of my week. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and my massage does more for my pain than any medicines. My massage is a treat I give myself twice a month, and have been since Alternative Therapy opened. I feel this way - I worked hard and I enjoy every minute of my massage, and even fall asleep sometimes.
"Getting massaged is something I always look forward to and can't wait for the next visit. Thank you for your magic hands.
"I'm a very satisfied customer."
"I have known some of the therapists at Alternative Therapy for over 5 years and I must say they are wonderful, caring ladies. I received massages as well as reflexology and Reiki . They were helping me work through a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. What they did for me was amazing and words cannot even describe the feeling of total relaxation I felt during all of my sessions.
"Their therapies helped me to break through the layers of total mental disappointment of not conceiving and the physical tightness that I had throughout my body. I am happy to say that my husband and I now have a son who was conceived naturally after 11 years of trying with several failed In-vitro treatments.
"The therapists at Alternative Therapy make their clients feel like family and are two very special people. If you want to feel welcome and relaxed, then Alternative Therapy is the place to go."
"I love Alternative Therapy! The facials are the best in the area. I treat myself to a facial and waxing every month. The staff here is very professional and friendly. They do their best to accommodate the customer. I have even booked massages and other services for my friends and I. Every one of my visits have been wonderful!"
