Using slow, intentional techniques with hands and forearms, your therapist works to improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and restore balance to overworked areas. Open communication is encouraged throughout the session to ensure your comfort. Mild soreness after treatment can be normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.

Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle Healing for Deep Relief
Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch, non-invasive healing approach that works with your body's
natural rhythms. Practitioners use gentle pressure—no heavier than the weight of a nickel—to
release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluid
surrounding your brain and spinal cord.

Key Benefits:
 Stress Relief: Activates your body's natural relaxation response
 Pain Management: May help reduce chronic pain, headaches, and migraines
 Better Sleep: Promotes deeper, more restorative rest
 Enhanced Well-being: Supports overall physical and emotional balance
 Nervous System Support: Helps calm an overactive nervous system
 Improved Function: May enhance your body's self-healing capabilities

What to Expect: Sessions are deeply relaxing—many clients describe feeling profoundly peaceful. You remain fully clothed while the practitioner uses subtle touches on your head, spine, and pelvis. Most people find the experience both calming and rejuvenating.

Ideal For: Anyone seeking natural stress relief, those with chronic pain conditions, people recovering from trauma, or individuals wanting to enhance their overall wellness and vitality.
This approach works with your body's innate wisdom to restore balance and promote healing from within.

Note for online scheduling: For first-time clients, select 90min sessions for added time to review and discuss intake information. Follow up sessions can be scheduled as 60min sessions.

Hot Stone Therapy or Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

Our Hot Stone Massage is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic treatment that combines traditional massage techniques with the soothing heat of smooth, heated stones. At Avon Massage Therapy Center, we use both basalt stones, known for their excellent heat retention, and electronic hot stones by Elo Smart Thermotherapy, which provide consistent and adjustable warmth throughout the session with built-in safety sensing for perfect temperature control and peace of mind.

The heat from the stones helps to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation. Your therapist will incorporate the stones into the massage, using them as an extension of their hands to deliver comforting pressure and glide over tight areas. The warmth penetrates deeply, allowing for a more effective release of muscle stiffness and stress.

Whether you're looking to unwind, soothe sore muscles, or enhance overall well-being, our Hot Stone Massage offers a luxurious and rejuvenating experience tailored to your needs.

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage is a deeply therapeutic experience that blends the benefits of traditional hot stone massage with the healing properties of pure Himalayan salt. Unlike smooth basalt stones, Himalayan salt stones contain 84 essential trace minerals and electrolytes, which help to nourish and replenish the skin while providing gentle exfoliation, leaving it polished and silky smooth.

Health & Wellness Benefits:

• Rich in Essential Minerals – The salt stones infuse the skin with vital minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron, which support overall health and skin hydration.
• Detoxification & Inflammation Reduction – The natural properties of Himalayan salt help draw out toxins, reduce inflammation, and promote a sense of well-being.
• Electromagnetic Balance – Warmed Himalayan salt stones emit negative ions, which help neutralize the electromagnetic pollution absorbed from cell phones, computers, and other electronics, restoring the body's natural energy flow.
• Improved Circulation & Relaxation – The heat from the stones enhances blood flow, eases muscle tension, and supports deep relaxation, helping to reduce stress and improve sleep quality.

If you’re looking for a deeply restorative treatment that promotes balance, relaxation, and radiant skin, the Himalayan Salt Stone Massage is the perfect choice.

Important Considerations

The use of hot stones in massage may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications include:

• Pregnancy
• High blood pressure or cardiovascular conditions
• Diabetes or neuropathy
• Skin conditions such as burns, wounds, or rashes
• Recent surgeries or injuries
• Sensitivity to heat

If you have any medical concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider before booking a Hot Stone or Himalayan Salt Stone Massage.

Integrated Cuppping Massage

What is Integrated Cupping Massage?
Integrated Cupping Massage combines traditional massage techniques with therapeutic cupping to help release tension, improve circulation, and support overall wellness. During the session, cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction, lifting the fascia and muscle tissue to promote deep relaxation and mobility. This technique can help reduce muscle tightness, increase blood flow, and support lymphatic drainage.

How to Prepare for Your Session:

• Stay well-hydrated before your appointment to aid circulation and detoxification.
• Avoid heavy meals right before your session.
• Let your therapist know about any recent injuries, medical conditions, or concerns.

What to Expect After Your Session:

• You may develop red to deep purple marks that look like bruises, but are not. These marks are caused by increased blood flow and should fade within a few days. 
• You may feel deeply relaxed, lighter, or even slightly fatigued as your body processes the effects of the therapy.
• Hydrate well post-session to help flush out metabolic waste released during the massage.
• Some mild soreness or tenderness in the treated areas is normal and should subside within a day or two.

What Not to Do After Your Session:

• Avoid intense workouts, saunas, or hot tubs for at least 24 hours to prevent overstimulating the body.
• Limit alcohol and caffeine intake, as your body is already working to process toxins released during the session.
• Refrain from direct sun exposure on cupped areas to avoid skin sensitivity.

Contraindications – When Cupping May Not Be Recommended:

You should avoid cupping if you have certain medical conditions, open wounds, or skin conditions. 

Medical conditions: 

• Bleeding disorders: Hemophilia, clotting disorders, or taking blood thinners
• Heart disease: Heart failure, cardiovascular disease, or a history of strokes
• Kidney disease: Kidney failure or renal failure
• Liver disease: Liver disease
• Skin conditions: Eczema, psoriasis, or severe or acute edema
• Seizures: Epilepsy or a high risk of seizure
• Cancer: Cancer patients should get a physician clearance letter
• Open wounds, ulcers, or abscesses
• Bleeding injuries, internal or external
• Fractured bones, dislocated joints, or grade III muscle or ligament sprains

• Other contraindications: Pregnancy, Pacemaker, Severe anemia, Muscle dystrophy, Uncontrolled asthma, Suspected infection, Tumors, and Acute infectious conditions.

  You should also avoid cupping if your skin is scraped, oozing, sunburned or infected. 

Integrated Cupping Massage is an excellent way to relieve muscle tension, promote circulation, and enhance overall well-being. If you have any questions or concerns, our therapists are happy to guide you through the process to ensure a safe and effective session.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specific technique of massage that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system by using gentle, light pressure and specific hand movements to encourage the flow of lymph fluid, primarily developed by Dr. Emil Vodder, which involves applying circular and pumping motions along the direction of the lymphatic vessels to drain excess fluid from the body; it is considered a very gentle and relaxing form of massage. 

MLD is primarily recommended for treating lymphedema, a condition where fluid builds up in the body due to a compromised lymphatic system, often occurring after cancer surgery, injury, or other medical conditions; it can also be used to manage swelling related to chronic venous insufficiency, fibromyalgia, lipedema, and post-operative edema, by gently stimulating the lymphatic system to drain excess fluid and waste products from the body.

MLD can also help with weight loss, skin health, sleep, and stress relief. Stimulating the lymph nodes is a great way to support your immune system’s optimal function.

Preparing for MLD session:

Hydrate: Drink lots of water before and after the massage to help your lymphatic system function and flush toxins out of your body. 

Wear comfortable, loose clothing.

Please note, some medical conditions may be contraindications for MLD, always consult with your medical care provider prior to starting MLD. 

MLD Post-Op or Wellness Packages:

$575 / 5 hrs

$1,150 / 10 hrs

Please contact our office to purchase your MLD package. Text (860) 431-0881 or Email: avonmassagetherapycenter@gmail.com and we will get in touch with you.
