- Swedish MassageSwedish Massage - The most common type of massage is Swedish massage therapy. It involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles. This is also combined with movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish therapy can be both relaxing and energizing. And it may even help after an injury.
- Deep Tissue MassageDeep tissue massage is best for giving attention to certain painful, stiff "trouble spots" in your body. The massage therapist uses slow, deliberate strokes that focus pressure on layers of muscles, tendons, or other tissues deep under your skin. Though less rhythmic than other types of massage, deep tissue massage may be therapeutic -- relieving chronic patterns of tension and helping with muscle injuries, such as back sprain.
- Sports MassageDeveloped to help with muscle systems used for a particular sport, sports massage uses a variety of approaches to help athletes in training -- before, during, or after sports events. You might use it to promote flexibility and help prevent injuries. Or, it may help muscle strains, aiding healing after a sports injury.

- Prenatal MassageDuring pregnancy, your body goes through major changes. Pregnancy massage can help with these changes by reducing stress, decreasing arm and leg swelling, and relieving muscle and joint pain. Massage may be particularly helpful during a time when medication and other medical options may be more limited. Using specially designed massage pillows, the massage therapist will help get you into a comfortable position for this type of massage.
- Chair MassageEver gone to a county fair, music festival, or conference and envied other people getting chair massages? Passed by the chair massage section in an airport? Or, maybe you're lucky enough to work at a company that offers 15- to 20-minute massages as a regular benefit. Onsite, chair massages are done while you're seated fully clothed in a portable, specially designed chair. They usually involve a massage of your neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands.
- Thai MassageDuring a Thai massage, the therapist uses his or her body to move the client into a variety of positions. This type of massage includes compression of muscles, mobilization of joints, and acupressure.
- Medical Massage
- Reflexology Massage
- Shiatsu MassageIn Japanese, shiatsu means "finger pressure." For shiatsu massage, the therapist uses varied, rhythmic pressure on certain precise points of the body. These points are called acupressure points, and they are believed to be important for the flow of the body's vital energy, called chi. Proponents say shiatsu massage can help relieve blockages at these acupressure points.
- Neuromuscular TherapyPam attended Wellspring School of Allied Health (formally MTTI) in 2010 in pursuit of her certificate in Massage Therapy. While in school, she was drawn to the studies involving neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, medical massage and deep tissue work. As fate would have it and prior to finishing her studies in Massage, Dr. Gray asked her to join the team. Prior to that, she had been a patient of Dr. Gray's since 2008. Three weeks before the last day of class, she took the National Boards and passed with flying colors.

- SubluxationWhile Chiropractors are best known for their ability to correct misalignments of the spine, which are called subluxations, spinal manipulation is only a small part of what chiropractors do as part of an overall plan to relieve pain and mitigate many kinds of ailments.
- Manipulation TherapyWith multiple chiropractors and multiple medical doctors in my family, we have developed an integrative and cooperative approach to care. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recommended that low back pain sufferers choose the most conservative care first. And it recommended spinal manipulation as the only safe and effective, drug-free form of initial professional treatment for acute low back problems. We are leading the way in the battle against the opioid epidemic in America.
- Myofascial Therapy
- AcupressureFor this kind of massage, the therapist places warmed stones on certain areas of the body, such as acupressure points. The stones may be used as massage tools or be temporarily left in place. Used along with other massage techniques, hot stones can be quite soothing and relaxing as they transmit heat deep into the body.
- AcupunctureThe intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. The method by which this is accomplished, though it may seem strange and mysterious to many, has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be validated today.
