Our massage options

Massage Therapy Options in Spokane

Our massage therapy programme consists of several variations, each with its own specific aims and goals. Whether you are looking for gentle relaxation or intensive therapeutic treatment, our experienced therapists will match the right approach to your condition and preferences.

Relaxation Massage

A gentle, soothing full-body massage designed to ease stress, relax tense muscles, and restore a sense of calm. Performed in a temperature-controlled room with soft lighting and relaxing music, relaxation massage works on the upper layers of muscle tissue across the neck, shoulders, back, legs, and feet. Often combined with aromatherapy oils for a complete sensory experience. Following your session, clients feel relaxed, pampered, and recharged.

Sports Massage

Specifically designed for athletes and active individuals, sports massage works on the connective tissue and deep muscle structures using hard, deep strokes combined with targeted finger pressure. It is designed to increase flexibility, prevent injuries, and address the specific types of injuries sustained during athletic activity. An essential part of any serious athlete’s recovery and performance programme.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage involves intense, controlled muscle manipulation that targets specific trouble spots — ideal after an accident, injury, or for chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It works by breaking down muscle adhesions that build up after injury or illness, applying controlled pressure across the grain of the muscle to restore mobility and relieve pain. Some soreness the following day is normal and passes quickly.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release applies gentle, sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue to relax contracted muscles and increase venous and lymphatic drainage. It treats somatic dysfunction and relieves accompanying pain and limited range of motion — making it particularly effective for chronic tension patterns that have built up over time and have not responded to other treatments.

Rehabilitative Massage

Rehabilitative massage supports healing from injuries and restores full range of motion. Using techniques such as Active Release, Myofascial Release, and Neuromuscular Therapy, the therapist locates the source of spasms and tension and works to restore the affected muscles to their natural state. Ideal for patients recovering from surgery, accidents, or sports injuries alongside their broader care plan.
