Swedish Massage (Back to Top)
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. This style utilizes long flowing strokes, rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body increase circulation and blood flow. Oils or lotions are applied to reduce friction and allow flowing massage strokes. 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, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage (Back to Top)
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Various techniques with hands, knuckles, and elbows are applied to focus pressure on “problem areas” or “trigger points” 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.
Sports Massage (Back to Top)
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune function.
Chair Massage (Back to Top)
Chair Massage can be performed at corporate locations, hotels, trade fairs, conventions, and other events. The massage recipient is seated, fully-clothed, in a specially designed massage chair. Chair massages typically last between 10-20 minutes; the general goal is relieving pain & tension in the neck, back, shoulders, arms, and hands.
