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.
