The Meridian Signature Massage
Here at The Meridian we have discovered the amazing results of combining Reiki with massage therapy. In the relaxation massage, the combination brings about a profoundly deeper sense of relaxation and an unbelievably restful night of sleep. In the therapeutic and deep tissue massages, the combination decreases the pain felt from deep work by anywhere from 50% - 90%, and muscles release more quickly and effectively. The Meridian Massage includes aromatherapy and two practitioners – one providing Reiki, the other providing massage for a blissful one hour and fifteen minute. This is a treatment combination available no where else.

Reiki
Reiki (energy work) is a non-intrusive method of hands-on bodywork. It is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions by reducing pain and stress, while enhancing relaxation, sleep, and a heightened sense of well-being. In the last two years, we have utilized Reiki to help people with conditions such as anxiety, stress, asthma, fatigue, Tourette’s Syndrome, injuries and other ailments. Applying Reiki pre- and post-operatively, clients have experienced a decrease in pain, while increasing their level of comfort and the speed of healing. We have also used Reiki to help support cancer patients and their families through their journey. Here at the Meridian, we have successfully integrated Reiki with other modalities being offered, noting a reduction in pain and anxiety while promoting optimum health for each client.

Prenatal Massage
A massage tailored to your personal needs to help ease the aches and pains of pregnancy. Nurturing a growing baby puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, feet, and shoulders. This therapeutic massage helps to ease sore spots and improve circulation, all of which can help mothers-to-be sleep better at night. The comfort and safety of the mother and child are of the utmost concern at all times during the massage. You will be comfortably supported in a semi-reclined or side-lying position using pillows and cushions for proper support.

Belly Casting
Celebrate your pregnancy at the Meridian! Create a memory of the special nine months you’re sharing with your growing baby by having a cast made of your belly approximately six weeks before your due date.

Relaxation Massage
Massage therapy is a very effective remedy for a wide range of health conditions. Enjoy a 60 minute deeply relaxing massage, designed to reduce tension and relieve muscular fatigue. A perfect treatment for the work weary.

Manual Therapy and Muscle Activation Techniques
Using a combination of hands on treatments, the goal is to optimize biomechanical and physiological function to create an environment in which the body can begin the healing process.  Some of the techniques used are techniques taught by the renowned URSA Foundation and include muscle energy, strain-counterstrain, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy.   Another technique being practiced is a technique called muscle activation technique or MAT™.  MAT is a revolutionary technique that identifies and corrects neuromuscular imbalances within the body.  MAT helps restore the neuromuscular control essential for optimal mobility and stability of the joints.  By having multiple techniques at the disposal of the practitioner, each therapeutic session can be tailored to the individual needs of the client.
