individuals with poor circulation.

Involves the use of warm bamboo sticks during a Swedish or deep-tissue massage. The heat of the bamboo helps to softens tight muscles and connective tissue. The bamboo also enables the therapist to get a broad/deeper pressure, if the client desires.

Cupping Massage

Based on the practice of Chinese cupping therapy. There are several types of cups. Most people think of the fire cupping which was seen in the movie Karate Kid. However, at Revive Bodyworks we typically use Baguanfa silicone cups, EarthSpa Bells, or the Kangzhu Biomagnetic cup. The cups create suction and negative pressure, which is said to soften tight muscles, tone attachment points of the muscles, loosen
scar tissue, lift and stretch connective tissue, increase blood flow to body tissues, improve synovial fluid secretions which decrease joint stiffness, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.

Chair massage

This massage is performed while fully clothed, on a portable massage chair. It is a great way for people
to try a massage who might not be comfortable lying on a massage table for one reason or another. Chair massage can also be done on-site in the workplace. Studies have shown on-site chair massage improves employee morale, improves productivity, and helps to improve employee longevity. Contact us for more details on benefits and pricing.

Raindrop Technique and Vibrational Raindrop Tecnique
This application technique was developed by D. Gary Young, one of North America's leading experts on the art and science of aromatherapy. Prior to the session, an iTovi scanning device is utilized to customize the oil selection for the session. This technique involves massaging oils on the feet at the Vita flex points. The oils are also dropped directly onto the spine from about six inches above the body and then worked into the spine using light strokes with the fingers, which stimulate energy impulses and disperse the oils along the nervous system throughout the entire body. This method supports many systems in the body. It can help ease aches and pains, supports a healthy immune system, a promote a deep sense of relaxation. The session lasts approximately seventy five minutes, but it has been said that the oils will continue to work in the body for a week or more following the treatment. When experiencing the Vibrational technique tuning forks are incorporated as well.
