Swedish Massage
What is a Swedish Massage?
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specially designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscels and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Swedish massage techniques include: long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions.
Massage is the answer to true healing, wellness and pain relief. These treatments will relax the body, mind and soul, alleviate soreness and tension, enhance circulation and promote wellness.

DEEP TISSUE available on request.
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
The purpose is to "unstick" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic.
