TRADITIONAL SWEDISH MASSAGE
Traditional Swedish massage is the foundation of most massages; it is best known for basic stroke techniques such as Effleurage, Petrissage, Friction and Tapotement. Your therapist will use long, soft gliding strokes that will contour the body. Swedish massage strokes help to increase circulation and promote a state of relaxation.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic massage is used for both relaxation as well as corrective massage. The massage therapist puts the client in a relaxed state while working out some of the muscle issues you may be experiencing. This type of massage is used to relieve pain and maintain the wellness of muscles.
DEEP TISSUE
One trouble area is mainly focused on during a deep tissue massage. Sustained pressure and deep, slow strokes are used by the therapist. Deep tissue massage helps to break up scar tissue that can form after an injury or strain, which can help promote healing, increased range of motion and general wellness of your muscles.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
There are many benefits to prenatal massage; it is known to decrease stress, reduce anxiety and symptoms of depression as well as maintain muscle wellness throughout your pregnancy. Prenatal massage addresses the discomfort pregnant women may experience due to hormonal changes throughout pregnancy. The therapist uses a light stroke called effleurage which will put a client in a relaxed state. Effleurage is known to help relieve some tension the client may have however the therapist is unable to apply a lot of pressure during a prenatal massage.
