Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage is a style of massage therapy in which water-treated stones are placed at specific sites on the client's body to promote relaxation and to open up meridians (energy pathways). Muscles are pretreated with the heated stones to allow the therapist to easily perform deep tissue manipulations after the hot stone therapy. Cool stones are sometimes used alternately with hot stones.

Hot stones help pretreat muscles prior to your massage.

Ionic Foot Detoxification

This unique way to detox the body is rapidly gaining both popularity and effectiveness. We are bombarded daily with toxins from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the chemicals we are exposed to. It is not enough to eat well and take supplements anymore because we are being exposed so often. The EBR-Pro Ionic Foot Detoxification system is a way to remove those dangerous toxins from the body so they do not create illness and disease. By placing your feet (or hands) in a warm water bath the ionic system creates an energy field where through the body's thousands of pores can draw out toxins and impurities from all parts of the body. Easier and less harsh than cleanse drinks or pills this system works to enhance the whole body's detoxifying ability. The results show up in the water right before your eyes!

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness. It combines modern science and established tradition in the pursuit of optimal health.

Focusing on prevention and the use of natural substances and treatments, naturopathic doctors (NDs) stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. It is a combination of the healing power of nature and scientific methods that makes naturopathic medicine an important system of medicine for today’s health care.

The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of illness, rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms. The patient is seen as a whole person and the ND takes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions into account when diagnosing and developing a treatment plan.

Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine

Based on balancing the flow of chi (energy) through meridian pathways, Chinese medicine includes the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbs.

Custom Foot Orthotics

The joints and muscles of the human body function most efficiently when they are in balance. The body is a biomechanical chain where an abnormal movement can alter the rest of the body function. During standing and walking our body is subjected to natural forces that can inflict mechanical stress. For example, if you stand for your job more than 5 hours per day you have excessive stress on your joints including your hips, knees and back. When a foot imbalance is present the negative impact on your joints is magnified. A digital foot scan can help us to see if you have these imbalances which may need correction. It can also answer questions about unexplained knee, hip or chronic back pain. A full report is included with this no charge scan!
