Swedish Massage
Swedish massage provides full body muscle relaxation and can be helpful if recovering from an injury. Swedish massage can be very relaxing for the client. The massage involves long, smooth strokes, and kneading, rolling, and lifting the tissue.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). This massage is used for chronic aches and pains, and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg and muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
What to expect: At the beginning of a deep tissue massage lighter pressure is generally applied to warm and prepare the muscles. Specific techniques such as stripping (deep, gliding pressure along the length of the muscle fibers using the elbow) and friction (pressure applied across the grains of the muscle to release adhesions and realign muscle tissues) are used during this massage therapy.
Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy massage is a type of massage therapy specifically tailored to the needs of a pregnant woman. While every pregnancy is unique a woman’s body changes as the baby grows, which can cause discomfort for a mom-to-be. As the abdomen grows outward and your body’s center of gravity shifts outward, for instance, your posture changes to realign your center of gravity over your hips. For some women, the stress on the joints and muscles results in low back, pelvic, neck, shoulder, or sciatic nerve pain.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body. Hot stone massage allows the heat of the stones to apply deep pressure without causing discomfort.
Cupping Massage
Cupping is a specialty massage which places glass jars on the skin and creates a vacuum by suctioning out the air. Cupping is the inverse of massage. Rather than applying pressure to muscles, the suction uses pressure to pull skin, tissue, and muscles upward.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a specialty massage which focuses on detecting and releasing trigger points. Located in the skeletal muscle, trigger points are spots that produce pain when compressed. In many cases, trigger points form as a result of trauma to the muscle fibers. Trigger points exist throughout our muscles, but unless activated they do not cause any problems. When a muscle is traumatized from an injury or physical or emotional stress the trigger points become “hot” or active. The belly of the muscle forms an adhesions in the belly of the fiber and creates a knot.
Aromatherapy
Add on any in stock range of essential oils which may help boost health and well-being during your massage session. Some of the health benefits of aromatherapy include its ability to reduce anxiety, ease depression, boost energy levels, speeds up the healing process, eliminate headaches, boost cognitive performance, induce sleep, strengthen the immune system, reduce pain, improve digestion and increase circulation.
