Nurturing a mindful body through massage and bodywork

Massage at OIC is different from your typical spa massage, though equally relaxing. Our massages are guided by the whole-health principles practiced by our entire team. Our Licensed Massage Therapists are trained in several specific therapeutic techniques. We believe that massage can be a therapeutic intervention for physical and emotional stress.

CTM – Connective Tissue Massage

Connective Tissue Massage (CTM) is a technique that works on your fascia to lengthen and open it, which helps reintegrate and realign the fascial structure of your body. CTM was developed by John Latz, who adapted it from Ida Rolf’s Structural Integration and has been teaching this method of bodywork for decades. If you are interested in receiving work that specifically targets your fascia, CTM is for you!

What to wear: Please wear undergarments that you are comfortable receiving work in. CTM does not use sheets the way a traditional massage does, so you will be covered only by your undergarments and a blanket as needed. Do not wear lotion on the day of your massage.

Cranial Sacral Therapy Massage

Cranial sacral therapy massage is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the bones, membranes, and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. The therapist uses light touch and gentle manipulation to release tension and restrictions in the craniosacral system, which can help to improve the functioning of the nervous system, reduce pain and discomfort, and promote relaxation and overall well-being.

The therapy is based on the idea that the craniosacral system is connected to all other systems in the body, and that by releasing tension in this system, the body can better heal itself and maintain balance and harmony. Cranial sacral therapy massage is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, neck and back pain, stress and anxiety, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Cupping: Dynamic & Myofascial

Dynamic Cupping

Dynamic cupping is a type of massage therapy that uses silicone or plastic cups to create suction on the skin and underlying tissues, and then moves the cups around the body to create a massage-like effect. The cups are placed on the skin and then suction is created by either using a hand pump or by heating the air inside the cup. The therapist then moves the cups around the body, using a variety of techniques such as gliding, shaking, and tapping, to create a dynamic and rhythmic massage.

Dynamic cupping is often used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, stiffness, and soreness, as well as to improve range of motion and flexibility. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone and texture. The therapy is generally safe and non-invasive, but it may cause some temporary bruising or redness on the skin. It is important to consult with a qualified therapist before undergoing dynamic cupping to ensure that it is appropriate for your individual needs and health status.

Myofascial Cupping

Myofascial cupping is a technique that involves using suction cups to create a negative pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This technique is used to release tension and tightness in the muscles and fascia, which are the connective tissues that surround and support the muscles.

During a myofascial cupping session, the therapist will place the cups on the skin and create a vacuum by either using a hand pump or heating the air inside the cup. The cups are left in place for several minutes, and the therapist may move them around to target specific areas of tension.

The suction created by the cups helps to increase blood flow to the area, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing. It also helps to stretch and release the fascia, which can improve range of motion and reduce pain.

Myofascial cupping is often used in conjunction with other manual therapy techniques, such as massage or stretching, to help improve overall muscle function and reduce pain and stiffness. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries.

Ear Seeds (Auricular Therapy)

Ear seeds are a form of acupressure or reflexology of the ear. Pellets or ‘seeds’ are placed on specific areas of the ear to stimulate a more balanced body. Seeds can last up to two weeks.

Ear seeds are used for reducing inflammation, back pain, migraines, digestive issues, stress and anxiety, balancing hormones, fertility, weight loss and addiction. In some cases only one session is needed, but for something such as fertility and chronic issues more sessions are needed.

We offer a 30-minute ear seed session or a combination of a 30-minute ear seed session followed by a 60-minute massage.

Ear Seed Pricing

30 minutes: $55
90 minutes: $130

FEM – Fertility Enhancing Massage

Utilizing massage and related techniques to enhance the health and functioning of the pelvic and abdominal organs, FEM promotes fertility and overall mental, emotional, and physical well-being. A unique healing journey, the four parts of the protocol focus on cleansing the body, enhancing the blood, opening the breath, and relaxing and integrating. Each session complements a specific time in the client’s menstrual cycle, whether natural or assisted through reproductive treatments. For more details on the specific benefits of each part of the series, check out this FEM information page.

FEM Pricing

Individual sessions: $155
Four-part series: $480

Hot Stone

Hot stone massage is a Swedish massage incorporating the use of hot stones. It is great for warming and relaxing tissue, and adds a luxurious feel to the session! Stones are placed on the body and used in the massage strokes.

Hot Stone Pricing

60 minute – $100
90 minute – $140
120 minute – $180

Personal Sound Bath Sessions

A personal sound bath session provides deep healing and relaxation by utilizing Reiki energy work and a Tibetan brass-singing bowl on the body. This healing technique is non-invasive and provides nourishment, via vibrations, to the whole body.

The session will begin with a conversation about intentions and what you are wanting the session to help with. Then you simply relax fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner uses a singing bowl on multiple positions of the body. The practitioner will also add music with healing tones and frequencies as well as aromatherapy to the experience.

Some benefits include: breaking up densities and stagnation, releasing held tensions or areas of tightness; relief from stress-related conditions; gently massaging the cells, releasing toxins; stimulating the Vagus Nerve, flooding the body with naturally occurring opioids that reduces pain.

Reiki Sessions

Reiki is an ancient Japanese hands-on healing technique that balances the life force energy that flows in each of us. Rei-ki translates to “spiritually guided life force energy.” Reiki restores a healthy balance and peace in the mind, body, and spirit. It supports the release and transformation of negative thoughts and feelings lodged in the unconscious mind and body. It helps restore the natural energy flow and nourishes the physical organs, tissues, and body systems. Reiki enhances the natural healing and recovery process and harmoniously complements any of the integrative health practices at Omaha Integrative Care.

The session consists of hand-palming and involves energy transfers between the practitioner and client. Health benefits include lessening depression and anxiety, lowering the risk of heart disease, and more.

Shiatsu

This Japanese form of bodywork brings the whole body into balance. Shiatsu means “finger pressure,” and pressure is one of the main techniques this modality uses. Additionally, it involves kneading, tapping, and stretching. Shiatsu is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, like acupuncture, and works with the meridians, or pathways of energy, in the body.

How is shiatsu different from massage?

• Client keeps clothing on during the entire session
• Shiatsu uses mostly pressure techniques, instead of long gliding strokes
• Sessions begin with a longer initial intake, including lifestyle questions and tongue and pulse assessments
• Oils and lotions are not used

What to wear: Come wearing comfortable, flexible clothing, and be ready for a full body, rejuvenating experience!
