MYBO Signature Massage

It is our practice to ensure that no two massages are alike. Each client receives a customized experience based on their needs and our therapists’ extensive training within a variety of styles. The MYBO Signature Massage is ideal for relaxation, soothing your muscles, and healing. It is a full body combination session which blends techniques from many styles of practice including Swedish, Thai, or Deep Tissue massage, among a number of others. Each technique is gradually introduced to naturally relax the body, while thoroughly releasing muscle tension, soreness, and stress. This massage helps to increase blood flow and circulation, balance the nervous system, stimulate endorphins, release toxins, and calm the mind.

 

Thai yoga bodywork

Thai Stretching or “Lazy Man’s Yoga” differs from other techniques as it is done with the recipient being fully clothed and on the floor on a large, thick mat. An important component of Thai Medicine, Thai Bodywork is considered a form of energy work that greatly benefits the physical and mental aspects of the body.

Focusing on releasing the energy of the sen lines (which are energetic channels throughout the body), the Thai Yoga practitioner applies pressure to the lines using hands, elbows, and knees. In addition to working on the sen lines, the receiver of the massage is also placed in various yoga positions to increase flexibility and circulation. You are touched head to toe in this 2 hour session. (Lesser amounts of time (75 and 90 min are optional.) First and foremost, you should wear loose, comfortable clothes that doesn’t restrict any movements. If you have them, flexible garments, like stretchy yoga attire, works really well.

Benefits of receiving a session includes looser muscles, increased flexibility, the feeling of being inches taller, and reduced stress. What people are less likely to expect that you actually experience an increase in energy. Thai massage draws from Ayurvedic medical practices, and while the kneading and stretching of muscles relaxes them, the actual goal is to open up the flow of energy throughout your body. By unblocking your channels and stimulating uninhibited movement through your circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems, a Thai massage promote better overall health, and a refreshed, ready to go feeling.

 

Ayurvedic Herbal Massage

Udvartana is an invigorating traditional Indian treatment that helps strengthen the immune system, reduce systemic inflammation, stimulate blood and lymph circulation, and detoxify your body. The MYBO Ayurveda Massage stays true to the ancestral method of this lineage, passed from an elder/guru in India and taught to our therapists. This therapy involves body scrubbing using heated coconut oil and a mixture of different natural herbs (Ashwagandha) in a powder form to “marinate” the body and exfoliate the outer skin while helping to reduce excess cellulite and fat accumulated under the skin. This massage brings nourishment to the tissues, cells and energy channels; brings deep relaxation to the muscles, improves sexual vitality, reduces stress, and brings calmness to one's mind and nervous system. This also helps regulate sleep patterns and circadian rhythm. Minimum 75 mins but 90 or 120 is best!

Pair this with our champi scalp massage for the ultimate healing duo. After the session, most clients feel very relaxed and blissful so we request you to take at least 60 minutes to relax (enjoy our infrared sauna with the powders and oils on your skin). We do not recommend doing anything after this massage (like driving in traffic, going to Target, having an intense meeting, etc).

Fascia Blasting

Fascia Blasting, made popular by guru Ashley Black, can “lessen the look of cellulite, break down fat cells, reduce pain, improve muscle performance, and accelerate muscle recovery.” Fascia, the head-to-toe, fingertip-to-fingertip connective tissue that stretches throughout our entire body, helps us look, feel and function better when it is loose and healthy.

In this session, you work with the practitioner to your level of comfort, goals, and needs. Infrared blanket must be used prior to the session to warm the fascia and cupping will also be used to enhance the effects. You will have bruising and may feel tender. You’ll love how open and free your body feels after the session.

Every muscle and structure is surrounded and penetrated by an interconnected tissue network. The tissue is called fascia. Fascia helps contribute to the structure and functioning of the entire body. Over time the fascia tissue can become unhealthy due to lifestyle choices, previous injury and much more. Massaging the fascia, with the FasciaBlaster tools, can temporarily provide a number of benefits similar to a skilled massage. During a 90-day study that tested the effects of the Tools, ultrasound imaging showed the fascia tissue smoothing out and restoring from the skin layer down to the femur bone. Even an untrained eye can see how the “white tissue” was entangled and distorted in the “before” picture, then "smoothed out" after only 90 days. Since the fascial system houses and encases the blood vessels, you can imagine the impact healthy fascia can temporarily have on blood flow. Minimum for just legs is 60 minutes and full body is 90 mins or better yet 120 mins. A higherdose infrared blanket session 30 minutes before the session is required to heat the fascia for the session.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many reasons, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Cupping has a detoxifying effect on the skin and circulatory systems and is also significant with a visible improvement in skin color after three to five treatments. Cupping removes toxins and improves blood flow through the veins and arteries. Especially useful for yogis and athletes as well as office workers. Cupping also affects the digestive system. A few benefits include an improved metabolism, relief from constipation, a healthy appetite, and stronger digestion.
Mind Your Body Oasis offer flame free cupping services. Cupping could leave red, circular marks on the treated area – which may take around 10 days to fade, and could stick around for up to a month. 

You will have the circle shaped bruising, especially in areas where you have adhesions and congestion. The “fire” is brought to the surface.
