It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation.

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and tension right at your event or workplace. The client receives a massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location - a table can also be used . In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing ( which can also be done on a table ). Also, chair massage sessions are shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient for health and business events. Four to 6 people can receive abbreviated treatments per hour. There is a 4 hour minimum and travel time up to approximately 40 miles is included in this service. Please call 603-657-5613 for more information

Keep in mind that mild soreness is common after the treatment but should lessen within a day or so.
