- Deep Tissue & Therapeutic Massage
-
A massage technique involving the use of
slow, deep and intense massage strokes across the grain of the muscle
to heal physical injuries, chronic tension and emotional stresses
within the body. Deep Tissue Massage applies greater pressure than
Relaxation/Swedish Massage to deeper layers of the muscle. It can be
used to release trapped nerves and correct damaged muscle tissue, as
well as to soften hard muscles which have caused joint restriction and
structural misalignment.

- Swedish / Relaxation Massage
-
A massage technique designed to disperse
physical tension from the body in a gentle way by loosening tight
muscles and reducing stiffness, removing energy blockages within the
body and increasing blood and lymph circulation. Relaxation/Swedish
massage uses five soft tissue manipulation techniques: effleurage
(long, gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading strokes), friction
(deep, circular rubbing), tapotement (tapping) and vibration (fine,
rapid shaking movements). The aim of the massage is to bring the body
back into a balanced and relaxed state.
