Find your Customized Massage
At Arvada Massage & Stretch, every session is designed around your body’s unique needs. Whether you need the deep, grounding pressure of Barefoot Deep Tissue Massage or the focused, hands-on approach of Therapeutic Massage, each treatment is tailored to help release chronic pain, ease tension, and restore balance.
Before your session begins there will be time to talk about your pain. Together we’ll decide which style—or combination—will provide the most benefit. Every massage includes complimentary cupping therapy.
Ashiatsu Deep Tissue Massage
Imagine a steamroller for your muscles, providing deep and even pressure without the pain often associated with traditional deep tissue techniques. In Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, the therapist uses clean, soft, bare feet to deliver deep compression across the body's larger muscle groups. This unique method ensures maximum relief by using the therapist’s feet to provide a broad surface that covers more area than hands, elbows, or forearms can.
The gentle yet firm pressure in Ashiatsu helps stimulate circulation, reduce tension, and elongate muscles, making it especially effective for people dealing with chronic pain, tightness, or mobility issues. This technique is particularly beneficial for those seeking relief from chronic back pain, muscle tension, and improved flexibility.
Intuitive Touch Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage offers a holistic approach to healing by combining nurturing touch with techniques aimed at soothing sore muscles and calming the mind. Using trauma-informed care, your therapist creates a safe, compassionate environment where you can release both physical tension and emotional stress. This type of massage is designed to address not only the body's aches and pains but also emotional discomfort, fostering a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
The therapist's hands work with intuitive touch, targeting areas of tightness and discomfort while maintaining a gentle, mindful approach that ensures comfort throughout the session. By applying techniques that promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, and ease stress, therapeutic massage supports overall physical and emotional healing.
Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, anxiety, or emotional fatigue, therapeutic massage provides a restorative experience tailored to your unique needs. This session is especially beneficial for individuals coping with grief, trauma, or the everyday stresses of life.
Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a specialized, assisted stretching technique that goes beyond traditional self-stretching methods by targeting not only the muscles but also the fascia (connective tissues) and joint capsules. This innovative approach uses gentle traction to decompress the joints and create space within the body, allowing for longer-lasting flexibility, mobility, and pain relief.
Unlike conventional stretches, where results may be temporary, FST works at a deeper level by focusing on the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. This helps release tension, improve range of motion, and enhance overall body function. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve your performance, like increasing the range of your golf swing, someone recovering from intense physical activity, or simply trying to regain ease in daily tasks such as putting on shoes without discomfort, FST can be a transformative tool.
With regular FST sessions, clients often experience:
Improved Flexibility: Increased range of motion allows for smoother movement in both athletic performance and everyday activities.
Faster Recovery: By releasing fascial restrictions, FST can help speed up muscle recovery and reduce soreness after workouts or strenuous activities.
Pain Reduction: FST helps relieve chronic pain by targeting areas of tension and improving joint function.
Posture Improvement: Stretching the fascia and realigning the body can lead to better posture and less strain on muscles and joints.
FST is suitable for all fitness levels and can be customized to meet individual needs, whether your goal is athletic improvement, pain management, or simply enhancing your day-to-day physical function. This therapy is ideal for those seeking long-lasting results beyond what typical stretching can offer.
By optimizing body movement and flexibility, FST helps you feel better and move more freely, supporting an active, pain-free lifestyle.
