Commonly called "Korean Karate," Tae Kwon Do is similar to karate in many ways, including its use of colored belts, ranging from white through black, to show rank.

Swedish Massage
Developed in the nineteenth century at the University of Stockholm, Swedish massage is the most popular massage technique. Incorporating various types of strokes (from gliding strokes to kneading movements) and massage oil, this technique was designed to both stimulate and soothe the muscles and nervous system. It is believed that Swedish massage promotes general well-being through interaction with the skin, which is the body's largest organ.

Deep Tissue Massage
A technique designed to penetrate deep into the body's musculature to unlock deep areas of tension. Trained therapists use skillful hand movements and pressure to bring about healing results. As always, clients work with therapists to determine the proper level of intensity. Therapists advise clients to drink plenty of water after this treatment to aid in the elimination of internal toxins released by muscles affected by the massage.

Myofascial Release
A massage technique designed to soothe clients with soft-tissue ailments. Through a combination of stretching and massage, therapists work to relieve tension in the fibrous bands of tissue surrounding muscles, called "fascia." Clients have used myofascial release to address health complaints such as TMJ, chronic back pain, headaches, strains, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
(Recommend men wear shorts, women shorts and sports bra)

Sports Massage
Sports massage is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The particulars of the massage are specific to the athlete’s sport of choice and are often focused on a particular troublesome area like a knee or shoulder.
Aspects of massage are gaining popularity as useful components in a balanced training regimen. Sports massage can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event. Athletes have discovered that specially designed massage promotes flexibility, removes fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries, and prepares them to compete at their absolute best.
