Swedish Massage improves circulation using long, fluid strokes with light to medium pressure. This style is great for overall relaxation, reducing muscle fatigue, improving nervous system function and providing an overall sense of well-being. Client will undress to comfort level and an oil or lotion will be applied to the skin.
Reflexology and Acupressure are used by applying rhythmic pressure to specific points on the body. Reflexology focuses more on the hands/feet/head/face and ears where acupressure may be applied to all areas of the body. This technique is used to help address more specific complaints, stimulate organ energy and promote movement of Qi throughout the body.
Cupping Therapy uses negative pressure by lifting the tissue and fascia using durable plastic suction cups. This process increases circulation, helps break areas of chronic tightness and aids your system’s ability to eliminate toxins and move stagnant blood from the body. This is a great tool for those who enjoy the benefits of Deep Tissue massage. For more information on cupping, we have a blog post Cupping Therapy / Ventosas
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable.
Tui Na is Chinese medical massage that uses manual techniques like rolling, brushing, pulling, kneading on the 12 acupuncture channels of the body to address acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems and to affect changes in the organ systems.
