Swedish Massage
This full body massage relieves muscle tension,
stimulates circulation, and provides feelings of tranquility and heightened well-being. This type of massage is incorporated
into all types of massage treatment. It warms up the muscles and by it self is a very relaxing massage.
Myofascial Release (Connective Tissue Massage)
Myofascial massage is the slowest type of body work. This type of work is used to relieve aches and pains.
Lotions are used sparingly. Fascial is a fiber that surrounds each muscle fiber as well as organs. During stress or injury
fascial may become tight or bundled up. Myofascial release can help to not only relieve pain but increase mobility. Stretching
the muscle fibers as well as the joints make this type of massage very effective for everyone.
Trigger
Point Therapy
Trigger points are located in a taut band of muscles fibers. The trigger point is the most tender
point in the muscle, sometimes called a knot. Often the person will not feel the knot until someone presses on it. This knot
reduces blood flow and can cause a great deal of pain and decreased flexiibility. Some trigger points are very resistant and
take sometime to become deactivated.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed to help the
athelete prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Everyday
life causes a lot of strain on the body and sports massage is very affective for everyone. Sports massage is a type of Swedish
massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids. Some sports massage movements use trigger point therapy to
break down adhesions (knots in the muscles) and increases range of motion. This massage technique is a very fast pace and
is very invigorating to the reciever.
