Swedish massage

A slow rhythmic massage designed to relax and stimulate oxygen flow in the blood. It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improves flexibility and enhances relaxation by applying pressure to the superficial muscles layers.

Deep tissue massage

A type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. This massage incorporates many of the same movements and techniques as the Swedish massage but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")

Couples massage

Consider just how much more amazing a massage will feel when you enjoy it side by side! Two therapists are involved, allowing the couple to experience simultaneous pampering.

Prenatal massage

Is a Form of therapeutic bodywork that is geared to meet the unique needs of the pregnant woman. Promoting better function of muscles and joints, prenatal massage also improves circulation and overall body tone. Additionally, prenatal massage decreases mental and physical fatigue. By having regular prenatal massage therapy, mothers are more relaxed; thus allowing the new life inside to be nourished. Prenatal massage is usually begun during the second and/or third trimesters of pregnancy.

Neuromuscular massage

Neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm. The massage therapy pressure is usually applied with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow.

Muscles that are in spasm will be painful to the touch. The pain is caused by ischemic muscle tissue. Ischemia means the muscle is lacking proper blood flow, usually due to the muscle spasm. This in turn creates the following undesirable process:

• Because the muscle is not receiving enough blood, the muscle is also not receiving enough oxygen.
  
  
• The lack of oxygen causes the muscle to produce lactic acid.
  
  
• The lactic acid makes the muscle feel sore following physical activity.
  
  

After the muscle is relaxed through massage therapy, the lactic acid will be released from the muscle & will start receiving enough blood and oxygen.

Reiki energy balancing
