Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage

60 minutes: $85
75 minutes: $100
90 minutes: $115

At OCM we integrate a combination of Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques that will leave you feeling so relaxed you will not want to leave the table!

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

"With Deep Tissue Massage, it's not how deep you go, but how you go deep." (quote by Eric Stephenson - Massage Therapist and Instructor)

We incorporate the above modalities using the Auth Method of Forearm Massage - a method "that makes giving massage easier on the practitioner's body while improving the quality of the massage." (developed by Shari Auth, Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist, and Instructor)

Bowsage Therapy

30 minutes: $35

Bowsage Therapy is derived from the Bowen Therapy technique.  Bowen Therapy is a move that manipulates the fascia, muscles and tendons over the meridian systems to send a signal to the brain to release, reset and relax the nervous system.  Whether Bowen is administered by itself or in combination with a custom massage, either session makes the perfect Bowsage experience.

  • Farmer's Wash (geranium, lemongrass and patchouli essential oils and grits);
