✨Types of Massage Therapy ✨
Swedish Massage 💆
Feeling stressed? A Swedish massage is the classic go-to for major relaxation. Swedish massage is typically a full-body massage that uses a gentle touch. It’s a good pick for people new to massages. It can help calm your nervous system. Swedish massage is also a good avenue for encouraging a relaxed emotional state of mind which can directly impact your muscles.
Deep tissue massage 💆🏽♀️
Your muscles can get tight from repeated use — even from something less active like sitting, driving or hunching over your laptop. Deep tissue massage gets into your muscles and tendons to release that tightness.
Sports massage 💆🏾♂️
Sports massage is similar to deep-tissue massage , but more focused in on the muscles that take a beating when you play sports or do another repetitive physical activity. My job as a sports massage therapist is to get in there to break up muscle tightness and address sports injuries.
Trigger point massage 💆
Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure directly to the trigger points to release the tension and restore muscle balance as an effective approach to relieve pain, restore muscle function, and promote overall well-being. This is done through manual pressure , stretching , deep tissue , heat , myofascial release .
Myofascial release 🕸️
The fascia is a web of connective tissue under the skin. It supports the muscles and allows us to move freely. When stuck or restricted movement is limited . When you get a myofascial release, I will knead, stretch the muscles and fascia to work out tension and tightness. It’s a form of deep stretching often used together with other therapeutic massage techniques. It’s great way for opening up tightness in your neck, shoulders and your upper and lower back and other body parts .
