MASSAGE TIPS & INFORMATION
 

• MASSAGE THERAPY:  Incorporates various ranges of pressure.  Please note: depending on the clients' needs/requests, there may be temporary soreness with some of the deeper modalities.  Each massage therapist will use a variety of massage therapy applications, variations, and techniques during the massage session to meet the individual needs of each client.    
• SWEDISH:  Traditional European relaxation massage.  This treatment is designed to improve circulation & flexibility, relieve muscle tension, increase energy flow & reduce stress.
• DEEP TISSUE or Trigger Point:  A therapeutic massage technique that releases aches, pain & tension in specific areas of chronic discomfort.  This massage involves deep pressure that runs across the muscles to decompress & lengthen muscle groups.
• SPORTS MASSAGE:  Decompresses & lengthens the muscles, tendons, & other connective tissues by combining high-impact massage techniques & assisted stretches to relieve acute muscle soreness, improve flexibility & increase range of motion.
• PREGNANCY MASSAGE:  Modified Swedish-style, designed to alleviate added tension on the shoulders, back, legs, & feet while maintaining the skin’s elasticity & assisting with water retention.  Doctor’s approval is required.
• MYOFASCIAL RELEASE: Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into Myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Myofascial Release techniques are generally a mild and gentle form of stretching that have a profound effect upon the body tissues. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system (or connective tissue). Fascia surrounds every other tissue and organ of the body, including nerves, vessels, muscle and bone. The fascial system is actually one structure that exists from head to foot without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia.
