Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is a goal-oriented style massage therapy that aims to address specific health concerns. It involves the skilled manipulation of soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and increase circulation. Through techniques like trigger point release, neuromuscular technique, golgi tendon organ release, and deep tendon pressure.
The primary goal of therapeutic massage is to provide relief from pain, tension, and discomfort caused by chronic conditions, injuries, or repetitive stress. It can also help improve flexibility, circulation, and joint mobility. Therapeutic massage sessions are often tailored to the individual’s needs, and the techniques used can vary based on the client’s specific conditions and preferences.
Swedish relaxation massage
Swedish relaxation massage, also known as Swedish massage, is a popular form of massage therapy that originated in Sweden. It is designed to promote relaxation and overall well-being by using long, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscles.
The primary goal of Swedish relaxation massage is to reduce stress, relieve muscle tension and pain, enhance circulation, and provide a heightened sense of relaxation and well-being. It involves the application of oil or lotion to the skin to reduce friction and enhance smooth movements.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy tailored specifically for athletes and individuals engaged in sports or physical activities. Its primary objective is to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and facilitate the recovery process.
Sports massage places a strong emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness. The techniques employed are typically more vigorous and intense compared to those used in Swedish relaxation massage. The focus is on treating and preventing muscle soreness and imbalances caused by repetitive movements, intense training, or sports-related injuries.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on targeting the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and connective tissues in the body. It is designed to alleviate chronic tension and tightness in specific areas and address musculoskeletal issues.
Deep tissue massage is often sought by individuals who experience chronic pain, limited mobility, or stiffness in certain areas. The goal of this massage is to promote better blood circulation, increase flexibility, and release muscle tension, ultimately providing relief and promoting improvement in activity of daily living.
Prenetal Massage
Prenatal massage is a form of therapeutic massage specifically tailored to the needs of pregnant women. Benefits of prenatal massage may include reduced back and joint pain, improved circulation, reduced swelling, alleviation of muscle tension, stress reduction, and improved sleep quality. Additionally, the nurturing touch and relaxation provided during the session can promote a sense of emotional well-being.
Safety and comfort are prioritized during a prenatal massage. You and your therapist will come together to create a treatment that is tailored to your comfort from your first to your last trimester.
