WOMEN'S HEALTH MASSAGE by Amber Bowser:

A gentle and non invasive treatment for women with abdominal and gut discomfort. Women’s Health Massage targets those suffering from conditions such as endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, postnatal recovery, and various gut disorders. The focus of treatment is to help release tension of the affected muscles and tissue within the abdominal cavity. Treatment is performed over clothing, and includes work of the low back, hips, abdomen and legs. Neck and shoulder work may be incorporated for those suffering from headaches.

CUPPING TREATMENT:

This centuries-old treatment will enhance the effects of any Therapeutic Massage session.  Cups are placed on the body strategically and a mild to moderate suction is created to lift up tense layers of tissue.  This “negative pressure" helps to loosen fascia, tight muscles, soften scar tissue and open lymphatic pathways to drain excess fluid and toxins.  Cupping also stimulates blood and oxygen flow to promote cell repair for healing.  Great for old injuries, chronic pain, stiff muscles, fatigue, immune support and more.
