Registered massage therapy is the most traditional style of massage which involves the kneading and manipulating of the major muscle groups and other soft tissues. Various techniques are used and can differ depending on which type of massage you are receiving. Melissa Laird Massage Therapy offers a wide variety of modalities within the scope of massage therapy. You will be treated with respect and professionalism while having your treatment personalized to your body's needs. Benefits of massage therapy include reducing stress, relaxation, improved circulation, increased energy, reduced anxiety, fewer headaches, relief from muscle pain, strains and injuries, all of which promotes healing. Your treatment can be tailored to relaxation by using long, smooth strokes to promote deeper breathing and release tension with less focus on working out knots in the muscle tissue or we can focus on aligning and balancing the tissues to improve your body mechanics.


TMJ Massage Therapy

TMJ Therapy includes treatment of the muscles of mastication. Conditions improved by this therapy are the symptoms of bruxism (grinding) and clenching, articular disc displacement, and trauma, etc.


Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish based massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension and soft tissue adhesions. The focus of this treatment is on the deepest layers of soft tissue.


Pregnancy Massage Therapy

Pregnancy Massage may help relieve some of the aches and pains of pregnancy. Treatment is similar to traditional massage with a few exceptions like positioning and depth of pressure in sensitive areas. Your treatment will take into consideration your individual concerns and any possible health complications.


Craniosacral Massage Therapy

Craniosacral Massage Therapy is the gentle manipulation of the skull and sacrum primarily with the intention of harmonizing the natural rhythm in the central nervous system. This treatment can be done fully clothed and is often very effective for treating headaches, stress, and head trauma.
