Types of massage therapy
Deep tissue massage
Our deep tissue massage therapy is an advanced technique that goes beyond just providing external relaxation and aims to therapeutically restore deeply-rooted muscular tissues and connective tissues. This form of treatment can be especially beneficial for tense or contracted areas such as upper back tightness, stiff necks or sore shoulders.
Trigger point therapy
Triggers or myofascial trigger points are localized sore spots that can be felt. These areas are often referred to as muscle knots and, when appropriately treated with pressure, relieve pain and restore proper functioning of muscles located in these points.
Myofascial release Therapy
This approach can be utilized to alleviate tightness in connective tissue, reducing maladies such as painful soft tissue disorders. It will augment blood circulation and lymphatic flow – ultimately improving health!
Swedish massage
The extensive Swedish massage therapy is an effective method for alleviating stress and inducing restful relaxation. Utilizing long, deliberate strokes that aim towards the direction of blood flow, practitioners induce an increase in circulation and a reduction in toxins within muscles as well as facilitating enhanced flexibility for the body along with facilitating a profound sense of relaxation throughout.
Prenatal massage
During pregnancy, various maladies arise as a result of alterations in hormonal levels such as back pains and anxiety; leading to stress on joints that bear weight. Helping alleviate these issues is a worthwhile investment in pampering during motherhood! A prenatal massage provides relief from all these discomforts while facilitating proper lymph circulation and blood flow for overall wellness of the body.

Many people find that massage therapy is a effective way to reduce anxiety and stress levels. The physical pressures and rhythmic strokes work to relax the muscles, mind and body.
