Therapeutic Services:

Therapeutic sport Massage

This type of massage technique employs many modalities to get the best results for your session. Using medium to heavy pressure, the therapist will use her hands, elbows, forearms, IASTM tools, and/or cups during your session. In these sessions, the therapist can peel back the layers as needed, and get into those deeper muscles that could be causing your dysfunction. Effective deep tissue work varies by each individual’s tolerance level. Therapeutic Massage typically focuses on the problem area(s). With this service, you will not be getting a full body treatment, although the therapist can incorporate more depending on the time frame given. There will be lots of talking, asking questions, and checking in to make sure the therapist and client are in agreement on the course of treatment, and melodies from classics in rock and country will be played in the background. Available in 25, 55, & 85-minute increments (prices are set at Credit Card Pricing, but cash option available in office)

Cupping therapy

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves applying suction to the skin using glass, plastic, or bamboo cups that are either set on the skin for a few minutes, or actively moved. Here at 4R, we use plastic cups to create that vacuum effect, also known as dry cupping. Cupping promotes healing and improves overall well-being by increasing blood flow to the area worked on, helps reduce inflammation, and releases tension. Don’t worry! We do not use fire or wet cupping techniques! The most the plastic cups will do is leave behind red circles that vary in color based on the amount of dysfunction in an area.  Cupping Therapy typically focuses on the problem area(s) depending on time. With this service, you will not be getting a full body treatment, although the therapist can incorporate more depending on the time frame given. There will be lots of talking, asking questions, and checking in to make sure therapist and client are in agreement on the course of treatment, and melodies from classics in rock and country will be played in the background. Available in 25 & 55-minute increments (prices are set at Credit Card Pricing, but cash options available in office)

buccal massage

This service was always available at 4R, but it was by request only, and not many people knew about it. Now anyone looking for a bit of TMJ relief can book this service! For those that may not be familiar with Buccal Massage: it is a facial massage technique that involves massaging the inside of the mouth, specifically the buccal (cheek) pad & the muscles of the jaw and surrounding areas. Worried about intraoral massage? Let’s set your mind at ease. The therapist always will have clean hands, but also will wear non-latex gloves while working the inside of the cheek. This type of massage will come with a WARNING: this work can cause anxious feelings, and can be intense. Your therapist will give warning when she is ready to work intraorally, and will talk you through the process, and provide space for any feelings or emotions that may come out during the session. That is totally normal, & totally okay. We must also request that you do not bite down on the therapist’s hands and fingers, but kindly tap her to let her know when you need a break. Available in 25-minute increments (prices are set at Credit Card Pricing, but cash options available in office)

scar therapy

Another service always offered here at 4R, but never advertised. Scar adhesions can cause a good amount of restriction in the body! Scar Therapy allows the therapist to work on the scar and surrounding tissues to help encourage the body to chill out by not sending continuous reinforcement to the affected site. Scars can also hold an emotional component due to the trauma that may have caused the scar. Our belief is that if you have a scar, you have major trauma. C-sections, surgeries like tummy tucks or hysterectomies, vehicular accidents, getting cut, and more can cause this trauma, and the human body never quite heals back to its original form like Wolverine or Deadpool. We work every direction of a scar, with various levels of pressure, and sometimes use tools to help encourage the scar to soften its restrictive hold on the body. We may not be able to improve the overall appearance of the scar, but we can have a good effect on loosening the grip it has overall. If you choose this service, all focus goes towards the scar. Available in 25=minute increments (prices are set at Credit Card Pricing, but cash options available in office)

From your shoulders to your toes, the therapist will use light to medium pressure employing massage modalities to help you fully let go of life's concerns.

Aside from occasionally checking in, and the request to turnover, there will be little talking, and spa music played softly in the background. You can request an eye mask when lying supine to keep all light from interfering with your session. Hopefully, you get a little snooze while lying on the table.
