Massage Techniques
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time.
Swedish
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are small painful areas within a muscle. They are caused by an abnormal tightening of small bundles of muscle fibers. Trigger points also cause referred pain. By releasing these trigger points pain and referred pain can be relieved.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
