TYPES OF MASSAGE THERAPY
Relaxation Massage
Swedish massage, which is commonly associated with relaxation, involves the use of flowing strokes, deep kneading, surface friction, and joint movements to achieve a deeply therapeutic effect on the body, and is considered the basis for all other forms of massage. This style of massage is performed at a comfortable pace and pressure level, allowing for a soothing rhythm that often induces a state of relaxed consciousness between wakefulness and sleep.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a goal-oriented technique system specifically designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and expedite recovery. While athletes are the primary beneficiaries, anyone, including individuals with sedentary lifestyles, can experience reduced stiffness, improved overall body comfort, enhanced balance, increased range of motion, and a greater sense of fluidity through this form of massage therapy.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage prioritizes overall relaxation while specifically addressing the unique needs of each trimester. Throughout the entire gestation period, Massage Therapy offers ongoing support, adapting to the changing challenges your body experiences, and providing extra care, such as using a specialized pregnancy pillow allowing you to lie face down.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is particularly advantageous for athletes and individuals seeking relief from deep muscular tension, as it employs specialized techniques to target and reach deeper layers of muscle that are not easily accessible through traditional Swedish massage. By gradually sinking into tight muscles, these techniques work in harmony with the body's responses, enabling deep-seated tension to release and promoting a state of relaxation.
