At The Elm Massage + Bodywork, we specialize in therapeutic massage designed to relieve chronic tension and pain. Services include Ashiatsu barefoot massage, deep tissue massage, prenatal massage, lymphatic drainage, Bowen therapy, Neurosomatic Therapy, Rolfing, and customized facial treatments.

Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage

Ashiatsu barefoot massage uses the therapist’s feet to deliver slow, broad, and controlled pressure that works deeply into muscle tissue without feeling sharp or overwhelming. This technique is especially effective for relieving chronic tension in the back, hips, and shoulders while allowing the body to relax into deeper work. At The Elm Massage + Bodywork, Ashiatsu is often combined with therapeutic techniques to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term muscular health.

Custom Organic Facial

Our custom organic facials are designed to support healthy, radiant skin using high-quality botanical ingredients. Each facial is tailored to your skin’s unique needs and may focus on hydration, calming inflammation, improving tone and texture, or supporting aging skin. This relaxing treatment combines professional skincare techniques with thoughtful product selection to leave your skin refreshed, balanced, and glowing.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage focuses on relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and helping the body restore balance. Sessions are customized to your needs and may incorporate techniques such as deep tissue massage, Ashiatsu barefoot massage, and targeted muscle work to address areas of discomfort. This approach is ideal for clients seeking pain relief, stress reduction, and improved mobility.

Bowen Therapy

Bowen therapy is a gentle, neuromuscular technique that uses small, precise rolling movements over muscles and connective tissue to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Short pauses between movements allow the nervous system time to integrate the work, helping to reduce tension, improve mobility, and restore balance throughout the body. Bowen is often used to support pain relief, recovery, and overall nervous system regulation.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a specialized form of therapeutic massage designed to support the changing needs of the body during pregnancy. Gentle, supportive positioning allows for safe and comfortable treatment while helping to relieve common discomforts such as low back pain, hip tension, and swelling. This nurturing treatment promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and helps expectant mothers feel more comfortable throughout pregnancy.

Neurosomatic Therapy

Neurosomatic therapy is an advanced form of clinical bodywork that focuses on identifying and correcting patterns of chronic muscle tension and postural imbalance. Through targeted techniques and movement-based assessment, this approach helps relieve pain, restore proper muscle function, and improve structural balance in the body. Neurosomatic therapy is particularly effective for addressing chronic pain conditions and recurring tension patterns.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to support the body’s lymphatic system and encourage healthy fluid movement. This treatment may help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support immune function. Lymphatic drainage is commonly used for fluid retention, post-surgical recovery, and overall wellness.

Rolfing Structural Integration

Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that focuses on improving alignment and movement by working with the body’s connective tissue, or fascia. Through precise manual techniques and movement awareness, Rolfing helps release long-held patterns of tension and restore balance throughout the body. Many clients experience improved posture, greater ease of movement, and lasting relief from chronic discomfort.

Cupping Therapy

Myofascial decompression to relieve tension and improve mobility

Cupping therapy uses specialized cups to gently lift and decompress soft tissue, helping to improve circulation, release fascial restrictions, and reduce muscle tension. This technique can be especially helpful for tight shoulders, back pain, and areas of chronic restriction. At The Elm Massage + Bodywork, cupping is often integrated into therapeutic massage sessions to support pain relief, improve mobility, and enhance recovery.
