Swedish Massage involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental and physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the massage. 

The benefits of Swedish massage include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.

Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique (SMRT) is a positional release modality. The principles of SMRT are similar to Strain Counterstrain and PRT. When we use SMRT, we move the tissue or body part into a position of ease or comfort. In other words, if tissue is shortened, we shorten it further.  

Clients receiving SMRT treatments have reported the following:

• That SMRT positions are incredibly relaxing giving them a feeling of euphoria

• That they feel like the smallest movements are working deep within their body

• Reduction in pain while the position is being held

• Decreased inflammation, typically after one or two positions

• Increased movement when the session is over

• Results that last longer then other therapies they have experienced

Prenatal Massage is a safe (and incredibly comfortable) way for women to get a massage during pregnancy. It can help reduce body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension. Emberstone Bodyworks gladly works with pregnant clients going through their second and third trimesters.

Prenatal massage uses pressure ranging from mild to medium, similar to Swedish massage. During the massage, the client will lie on her side with plenty of cushioning or semi-reclined with pillows.

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. 

Therapeutic Massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It can involve the application of sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduces tension in muscle and tissue. Deep Tissue can also include a variety of other methods, such as Myofascial Release, Positional Release, Acupressure, and Other Modalities.

Justin Reid LMT will NEVER knowingly utilize any modality that causes pain or discomfort.

Deep tissue massage offers both physical and psychological benefits. Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massage helps to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness. But it can still help you unwind mentally, too.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Sometimes it’s called essential oil therapy. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit. It enhances both physical and emotional health.

Each essential oil has an array of unique healing properties.

Energy Work. Almost all cultures share a fundamental belief that life is more than just physical processes in a body; life is a unity of the physical, mental and spiritual, and is infused with a special energy or force that gives it vitality. Energy healing, or energy work, seeks to restore, promote, and maintain health and wellness to all those elements by influencing and supporting the body's bioenergies.

Justin Reid works primarily with Five Element Bodywork and passive Reiki. Five Element bodywork uses a blend of acupressure, meridian tracing, reflexology, and other methods to clear potential energetic blocks and increase energetic flow.

Hot stone therapy is a specialty massage that uses smooth, flat, heated basalt stones across the full body for enhanced relaxation and pain relief!

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
