Massage Type Descriptions
Swedish Massage
This is the most common form of massage. It incorporates a variety of techniques such as long strokes and light kneading to help promote muscle relaxation and stress reduction.
Medical Massage
This style is similar to Swedish massage, however it differs in that the treatment is specifically directed to help with certain medical conditions (such as Sciatica or Arthritis).
Deep Tissue Massage
This technique helps to improve freedom of movement by releasing chronic patterns of tension in the muscles through the use of slow, deep kneading.
Relaxation/Compassionate Touch Massage
This type of massage encompasses a light touch to help promote relaxation and well-being by connecting mind, body, and spirit.
Sports Massage
This type of therapy is geared toward those who participate in physical activity. It concentrates on increasing motion and flexibility, relieving muscle soreness, and promoting a quick recovery from muscle overuse.
