Deep Tissue vs. Relaxation Massage
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE:
•Emphasis on specific problem such as chronic deep pain, sports injuries and muscle strain
•Deep and intense pressure targeting deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue
•Relief from chronic pain, improved mobility, release of targeted muscle tension
RELAXATION MASSAGE:
•Relaxation and stress relief
•Uses light to medium pressure techniques with long, flowing strokes
•Relaxation, improved circulation, ensuring general well-being
All massage sessions start with a general technique such as effleurage to warm up the tissues. It is then followed with the "superficial-deep-superficial" protocol. When giving deeper pressure in a treatment it should not be uncomfortable, painful or cause bruising.

"Physical benefits of massage
A massage does more than just feel good. It can lower the amount of cortisol in your body. This hormone is produced when your body is stressed. It increases glucose in your bloodstream, enhances your brain's use of glucose and curbs functions that are nonessential in a fight-or-flight situation.
A one-hour massage lowers cortisol in your body while also releasing serotonin. This hormone neurotransmitter is sometimes called the "happy chemical" because it reduces feelings of depression and carries signals between nerves and your body. By lowering cortisol and increasing serotonin, you're boosting your body's ability to fight off pain, anxiety and feelings of sadness."...www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org
