Types of Massages Include
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best-known type of massage. If it’s your first time with a Massage Therapist, Swedish massage is the perfect place to start. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, helping you maximize the full benefits of Massage Therapy.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots.
Hot Stone Massage
During a Hot Stone Massage, the therapist will begin by warming the muscle tissue with flowing strokes. Then, the therapist will place heated stones on specific areas of the body and also use them to work into areas of tension. These smooth, black volcanic stones are used for their ability to retain heat. The heat of the stones will allow the therapist to work deeper and more effectively. Pressure ranges from medium to deep, depending on your preference.
Prenatal Massage
This massage is designed especially for moms-to-be in their second trimester or later. Prenatal massage is excellent for relieving backaches, leg cramps, headaches, and all the discomforts associated with pregnancy. Extra pillows and cushions ensure mom and baby are well supported and comfortable.
