Therapeutic Massage
At Well Kneaded Massage, we prefer to use the umbrella term “therapeutic massage” to describe our basic massage. Each therapist uses their educational background and skilled approach to tailor your massage! You and your massage therapist can discuss any concerns and goals for your session. Our therapists will use any modalities within their scope of practice during your massage that they feel would be beneficial to your specific needs. If you are familiar with a certain modality and are looking for that specifically, please make note of that while scheduling your appointment.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is done AFTER the first trimester of pregnancy. You are required to bring a doctors note to your session or emailed to wellkneadedmassagepeoria@gmail.com. We perform prenatal massage in side-lying position as recommended by the American Pregnancy Association. Certain techniques are not recommended during a prenatal massage such as deep feet and ankle work, certain aromatherapies, and hot stone therapies.
Hot Stone Massage
Your therapist will perform massage techniques using warmed stones in addition to using their hands. The hot stones heat up muscle tissue and allows for deeper relaxation without the need for deeper pressure. This massage is perfect for someone who needs deep work but cannot handle the discomfort of traditional deep tissue massage. Hot stones are also extremely relaxing! If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, neuropathy, or are on blood thinners, it is recommended that you avoid hot stone.
Cupping/Vacuum Therapy
During cupping massage, your therapist will use plastic, glass, and/or silicone vacuum cups in combination with massage techniques to create a suction, forming space in the tissue. This creates a negative pressure that can loosen muscles, sedate the nervous system, break up scar tissue, realign fascia, and increase blood flow to the area to help heal the tissue and promote cell repair. Cupping therapy pulls toxins and blood to the surface of the skin which may be leave the skin temporarily discolored with circular marks in the practiced areas for up to 10 days after your session. If you wish to avoid the possibility of discoloration, please make your therapist aware as there are cupping techniques that are less likely to leave marks, but can still provide wonderful benefits. If you have heart conditions, kidney issues, bleeding disorders, or are on blood thinners, it is recommended to avoid cupping therapy.
