| Massage therapy has been long overlooked as an effective
method of healing and wellness. We recognize the value and
results massage therapy gives to patients. Along with general
massage therapy, we offer in the following treatments:
Reflexology
Swedish Hot Stone Massage
Japanese Hot Stone Massage Myofascial Release
Swedish Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Sports Massage
Reflexology
Reflexology focuses on stimulating the
reflexes of the foot, hand and ear through manipulation.
Stimulation of these reflexes relaxes and normalizes
functions in the body to relieve tension and promote
relaxation. In turn, this can improve blood circulation,
lymph drainage, assist in the elimination of toxins and
strengthen the immune system. Penny Nelson is a certified
Reflexologist.
Hot Stone Massage
Grand Traverse Physical Therapy has recently
introduced the Hot Stone Massage technique. Hot Stone
Massage uses the application of heat (140 degrees F)
and subsequent cooling to promote psychological and physical
relaxation. The stones act to also increase circulation
and metabolism.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release Therapy combines sustained
pressure to the body’s connective tissues with
gentle massage to help eliminate pain and restore motion.

range of settings and diagnoses.
