Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue is a massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and connective tissue. Deep Tissue uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but with more intense pressure. This massage is more focused. The therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or “knots”. Deep Tissue should not hurt, but could be more uncomfortable than a Swedish massage. Clients may also be sore the day after a Deep Tissue massage. The therapist can always reduce pressure at your request.

Swedish

Swedish massage is the most common and best known type of massage. Swedish massage is the foundation of other types of massage, including sports, deep tissue, and aromatherapy. Swedish massage employs five different movements:

• Long, gliding strokes
• Kneading of individual muscles
• Friction
• Hacking or tapping
• Vibration

Swedish massage incorporates these strokes to create a dynamic, relaxing, and rejuvenating massage.

Trigger Point (Neuromuscular Massage)

A trigger point in the body is an area that “triggers” a painful response. These are usually tender points in the muscle. The therapist locates and works to deactivate the trigger point by using finger pressure. Because of the tension in trigger points, it normally requires more than one session to see results. Trigger point massage can be done separately, or as part of a therapeutic massage session.

Medical Massage specifically treats chronic or new injuries or ailments.  Each treatment is a customized, therapeutic, deep-tissue experience that utilizes joint mechanics and mild stretching to reduce pain and improve range of motion. It can be adapted for any age, or physical condition.

Kinesiotape: A certified therapist applies elastic therapeutic tape that can help with pain relief, reduce swelling/Tinflammation, and accelerate healing for bruises and sore muscles. It can also prevent cramping. One add-on purchase covers one area of the body after a massage.

Cupping: A manual form of bodywork using suction and negative pressure by a specialized therapist placing cups directly on skin. This ancient technique releases rigid soft tissue, brings blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles, and much more! Because of the suction, marks and discoloration after treatment are common. One add-on purchase covers one area of the body after a massage.

Aromatherapy: Enhance your massage by incorporating beneficial essential oils, which can promote positive changes in the mind and body. Inhaling essential oils is thought to promote positive changes by affecting the limbic system (a region of the brain known to influence the nervous system).
