Paraffin Therapy
Paraffin
wraps are applied to hands and sometimes feet. The paraffin
allows the slow release of heat into the area and increases
circulation. This leads to warmth, comfort and general relaxation.
This
therapy
is offered
to appointments of 1 hour or more at the time of dental visit.
Reflexology Massage
This is systematic massage of the feet and
hands that stimulates the reflex areas of the major body organs.
It relieves stress, improves circulation and brings
balance to the whole body. This therapy can be done through socks
or hose. A reflexology treatment lasts 5-45 minutes and is
offered to appointments of 1/2 hour or more at the time of dental
visit.
Chair Massage
Chair massage offers the benefit of full body
massage, but without oil or requiring the client to be
undressed. The client is seated on a specially designed chair that
allows
the therapist access to head, neck, back and arms while
the head, arms, and legs are supported. Massage improves circulation,
promotes
relaxation and relieves tension, stress, and spasm in muscles.
Chair massage sessions are 10-15 minutes. This therapy
is
offered to all appointments at time of dental visit.
Temporomandibular Joint Massage (TMJD)
This type of
massage is beneficial for clients with face, neck, shoulder,
and head pain.
By relieving the stress and tension of the muscles of chewing,
many of these symptoms are eliminated or decreased.
Full Body Massage
Full body massage is performed while a
client lies on a flat treatment table. This allows the
therapist access to legs and hips as well as areas treated in chair
massage. Oil is used and the client is undressed but never
fully exposed.
The client is fully draped and only the body part that
the
therapist is working on is uncovered. A variety of techniques
are used to
therapeutically treat most areas of the body. Light and
deep touch are used depending on the need of the client. The full
body massage
lasts 1 hour and needs to be scheduled outside of the dental
appointment. Please ask the massage therapist for fee schedule.
