Types of Massage TherapyDeep Tissue MassageDeep tissue massage is a healing technique that focuses on reducing muscle tension through slow massage strokes and direct pressure on deep layers of muscles. In a quiet and warm environment, your body relaxes as your massage therapist focuses their energy and work on massaging deep connective tissue muscles, tendons and fascia. Deep tissue massage can help to break down and heals scar tissue; it can lengthen muscles and increase your flexibility. Deep tissue massage focuses on specific parts of the body – especially constricted or contracted muscle groups. By working on specific areas of your body, your massage therapist is conducting an intense healing that may cause soreness the day after, but once this soreness fades, the specific area will experience rejuvenation. Pre-Natal MassagePre-Natal massage is as beneficial physically for a mother to be as it is emotionally. As your body changes during pregnancy and you deal with the discomforts of different weight distribution, the changing of your hips and body, and bearing extra weight, you need the healing of massage therapy to help your body cope. On an emotional level, taking the time for yourself, in complete safety and relaxation, and learning your new body through the healing touch of a massage therapist will nurture you emotionally. Pregnant women should always consult their physicians before engaging in any type of massage therapy. They should also make sure the massage therapist is certified in pre-natal massage as there are pressure points in the body, certain oils and other methods that are not appropriate for pregnant women. The wonderful relaxation and physical balance you can achieve through regular pre-natal massage will promote a healthy pregnancy and a happy and relaxed mother and baby. Swedish MassageSwedish Massage is an invigorating healing massage therapy that focuses on revitalizing your whole body by stimulating healthy blood flow. This massage technique is wonderful for promoting focus on your body and promoting relaxation. As the swift and varied strokes of a Swedish massage heal and relax your muscles, your mind will center and come to rest. Swedish massage uses five basic strokes, all of which promote energy and blood flow to the heart. By using these healing strokes in a combination of kneading, rolling, vibration, percussion and tapping, with warm and soothing massage oils, your massage will leave you refreshed and energized when you rise from the table. |
