BEMER is a technology that uses a Pulsed Electromegnetic Field (PEMF) to boost blood flow and enhance circulation, especially through the microvessels that reach the most remote parts of the body. The result is improvement in the delivery of oxygen, immune cells and nutrients to cells as well as enhancing the body's ability to remove waste from the cells. Treatments consist of laying on the BEMER mat (possibly in conjunction with the BEMER belt or B-Spot for more localized treatment) for approximately 8 to 16 minutes while the patented BEMER signal enhances circulation. BEMER therapy and products have gained great acceptance in Europe and are available through True Health Massage Therapy.
This is an advanced method of "cupping" treatment that uses a special vacuum machine instead of flame to create suction power. Various sizes of "cups" can be applied to different body locations from your face to your feet. The BBT supplies oxygen, far infrared waves and negative ions, and allows for renewal and detoxification in addition to suction. Magnetic vibration enhances the treatment. The BBT can also do facials. Some of our clients also use BBT to enhance general appearance and weight loss. We offer packages of 10 sessions at a great value. Check with us for pricing.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
