North Country Therapeutic Massage

Heated Stone Massage

Enjoy a therapeutic massage with 52 heated basalt stones while relaxing to calming music. This session can ease your everyday tension and stress......leaving you with a renewed sense of self. This massage is not one where you lie on top of heated stones, as many television views have shown. This Hot Stone Massage warms your chilled feet by having small flat warm stones tucked in between your toes and then wrapped with a larger stone on the bottom of each foot in a warm towel. Then warm stones are placed into your hands to ease tension caused from keyboarding or other forms or repetitive work your hands do. Then sink into the heated table as the therapist works with warm stones in her hands to massage your arms, shoulders, neck, head, low back, and legs. Experience the feel as tight muscles in your face and jaw relax as a facial massage with small heated stones are applied.This is a warming and relaxing experience that makes you enjoy getting out in the cold to get to!

Sports Massage/Deep Tissue Massage/ Therapeutic Massage/ Trigger Point Therapy
Let NCTM know what your specific sport is so your session can be tailored to specific muscles used in that performance. Massage can help repair and revitalize these muscles to enhance your maximum achievements. Athletes of any level can prepare for, and recover from strenuous workouts through regular massage sessions. Let massage become an integral part of your sport or health maintenance.

If you experience muscle pain due to your job, stress from everyday living or due to a previous injury, massage can be beneficial by relaxing and softening those muscles, which in turn help increase joint flexibility and range of motion. Massage also releases endorphins - amino acids that are the bodies natural pain killer. Studies indicate that massage can reduce anxiety, depression and helps you sleep more soundly.

Pregnancy Massage
Bringing a new little person into your lives not only creates excitement and joy, but it can also create challenging experiences as well. Moms-to-be face changing bodies, that often cause aches and pains in the low back, legs and hip region. She could also face anxiety or stress, especially if this is her first pregnancy. Some of the benefits massage offers a woman during pregnancy are:

Massage helps mom's body to eliminate waste products through the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which combats fatigue and helps the mother feel more energetic.
By aiding circulation, massage eases the load on mom's heart and helps to keep her blood pressure in check.
Muscular discomforts, such as cramping, tightening, stiffness, tension, and knots, can all be alleviated.
Massage can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes mom is experiencing.
Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts during pregnancy, such as backaches, a stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, edema, and sore, swollen ankles and feet.
Massage increases local and general blood circulation, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the cells of both the mother and fetus. This means greater vitality and less fatigue for mom and better nourishment for her baby.
Massage stimulates glandular secretions, which helps stabilize hormone levels.
Massage can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes mom is experiencing.
It relaxes tense muscles and can also increase muscular flexibility. Flexibility will be most helpful during the last trimester and during the birth itself.

CranioSacral Therapy
Can you think of any form of life that does not express itself as motion? All healthy living tissue breathes with a motion of life. The rhythm of our heart beating, the rhythm of our breathing patterns and according to Dr. William Sutherland and Dr. John Upledger there exists another type of body rhythm. This rhythm is a subtler one that can be palpated by sensitive hands. The rhythm’s subtle movements involve a network of interrelated tissues and fluids at the core of the body; including cerebrospinal fluid (the 'sap in the tree'), the central nervous system, the membranes that surround the central nervous system and the sacrum.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle approach that is believed to alleviate a range of sensory, motor or neurological disorders. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch manual approach that is also believed to enhance the body’s natural healing capabilities. You remain fully dressed on the treatment table for approximately one hour. The therapist places a nickel’s worth of pressure on various parts of your body (head, neck, hips, sacrum and feet). You can drift into a calm retreat while your body begins to heal itself. For nearly 30 years it has been shown to be effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and loss of function.

“Your Inner Physician and You” by John Upledger, D.O. (North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, CA, and UI Enterprises, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, 1997) describes CranioSacral Therapy in greater detail and offers a number of case histories.
