Massage therapy is more than a luxury—it’s a proven method for enhancing physical health, reducing pain, and improving overall well-being. At Spa 360, we specialize in a range of advanced modalities designed to address diverse needs, from chronic pain management to athletic recovery and stress relief. Each technique we offer is grounded in science and executed with precision, ensuring you receive the best care tailored to your body’s requirements.

Myofascial Release: Restoring Mobility


Myofascial release focuses on the body’s connective tissues (fascia), which can become tight and restrictive due to stress, injury, or overuse. This technique uses gentle, sustained pressure to release tension and improve mobility. It’s particularly effective for clients dealing with chronic pain, postural issues, or conditions like fibromyalgia, providing both immediate and long-term relief.


Trigger Point Therapy: Targeting Pain at Its Source


Trigger points—commonly known as “muscle knots”—can cause localized pain or radiate discomfort to other areas of the body. Trigger point therapy isolates and applies precise pressure to these points, breaking the pain cycle and promoting muscular health. This modality is ideal for headaches, neck tension, and upper back pain, offering targeted and efficient relief.


Active Release Technique: Precision for Recovery


Active Release Technique (ART) combines manual pressure with guided movements to treat soft tissue injuries. By breaking down adhesions and scar tissue, ART enhances mobility and accelerates recovery, making it a popular choice among athletes and those recovering from repetitive strain injuries. It’s an effective approach for addressing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and runner’s knee.


Lymphatic Drainage: Detoxification and Healing


Lymphatic drainage is a specialized technique designed to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system, promoting detoxification and reducing inflammation. This gentle, rhythmic massage is particularly beneficial for clients recovering from surgery, managing lymphedema, or seeking immune system support. By enhancing fluid circulation, it supports overall health and well-being.


Dalton Myoskeletal Alignment: Addressing Postural Imbalances


Dalton myoskeletal alignment therapy focuses on correcting postural and movement imbalances that can lead to chronic pain and restricted mobility. This modality targets muscular and skeletal dysfunctions to restore balance, alleviate discomfort, and improve overall function. It’s particularly effective for clients experiencing lower back pain, joint stiffness, or postural issues.


Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique: Gentle Precision


The Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique (SMRT) is an advanced therapy that uses gentle positioning and pressure to relax tight muscles and relieve tension. This modality is particularly useful for sensitive areas or clients who require a lighter touch, offering effective pain relief and enhanced range of motion without discomfort.


Graston Technique: Breaking Down Barriers


The Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy that uses specialized tools to address fascial restrictions and scar tissue. This evidence-based approach is particularly effective for conditions such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic pain, helping clients regain function and accelerate recovery.
