Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. It’s sometimes called a classic massage. The technique aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension.

Swedish massage is gentler than deep tissue massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief.

Swedish massage may loosen up tight muscles caused by daily activities such as sitting at the computer or exercising. It can be very helpful for people who hold a lot of tension in their lower back, shoulders, and neck.

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on releasing tension and pain in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It involves applying firm pressure with slow, deep strokes to target specific areas of the body.

Deep tissue massage relieves chronic muscle tension and pain, improves range of motion and flexibility, reduces inflammation and swelling, breaks up scar tissue and adhesions, and promotes relaxation and reduces stress.

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying pressure to certain meridian points on the body to relieve pain. The human body has fourteen “meridians” that carry energy throughout the body. These meridians start at the fingertips, connect to the brain, and then connect to the organ associated with the specific meridian.

Acupressure deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one, not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances the vital life forces of the body. Acupressure uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing.

Acupressure can be effective in helping relieve headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems, neck pain, backaches, arthritis, muscle aches, and tension due to stress. There are also great advantages to using Acupressure as a way to balance the body and maintain good health.

The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension, increases circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply. By relieving stress, acupressure strengthens resistance to disease and promotes wellness.

Lomi-Lomi massage reduces muscle tension and pain, improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, increases flexibility and range of motion, relieves stress and reduces anxiety, and enhances a sense of well-being and relaxation.

This dynamic, ancient healing art and science addresses the vital energy (ch’i) in the body. The focus is to stimulate and clear congestions in the meridians allowing the energy to flow freely so that the body can achieve a state of balance.

Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex points on the hands and the feet that correspond to each organ, gland and structure of the body. By applying pressure to the reflex points the application can reduce tension all over the entire body. Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy favored by individuals who prefer to stay dressed during a therapeutic session.

Reiki – (ray/key) – Universal Light Energy; an ancient form of hands-on therapy that brings about total relaxation, peace, balance and harmony. By using various hand placements that may be placed a few inches above the physical body or on the physical body, a Reiki practitioner can assist the release of tension of areas that have been compromised through illness, stress or trauma.

Currently Reiki is a valuable tool being administered in hospitals for relaxing patients pre and post-surgery. Reiki may also be combined with a relaxation massage.

Shiatsu means, “finger pressure” in Japanese. Using a series of techniques, practitioners apply rhythmic finger pressure (or feet can be used) at specific points on the body in order to stimulate chi (vital energy), and stretches to release blockages on the body’s energy ways (meridians).

This type of technique can be performed on a massage table or a mat on the floor. It also helps improve circulation and metabolism and stimulates nerves.

Traditional Ancient Thai massage is a unique form of Bodywork that incorporates Hatha Yoga, acupressure and reflexology with origins dating back about 2500 years. The best thing about Thai massage is that you get the flexibility, inner organ massage, oxygenation of the blood and quieting of the mind that is attained with yoga.

Through deep muscle stretching, joint release and emphasis on breath, Thai massage offers many of the same benefits as yoga. It is a unique and deep massage that transforms the body to a more flexible, relaxed, lighter and less painful being. In Thai massage it is not just the hands that are used to free tension from the recipient’s body, but the therapist’s feet, forearms, knees, and elbows as well.

Be assured northern style Thai massage is never painful. Thai massage is applied on a mat on the floor or on a low massage table if preferred and the work is done fully clothed and no oils, lotions or creams are required.

During a massage cupping, your therapist puts lotion on your skin and moves silicone cups back and forth, up and down, or in circles on your skin for a massage-like effect.

This kind of cupping is meant to increase blood flow while removing fluids and toxins from the area being treated. The fluids are said to have high levels of substances related to diseases.
