Swedish Massage (Relaxation Massage)
Relaxation Massage is a luxurious treat for yourself, where you can forget about the world for a while and just focus on the enjoyment of receiving a massage. A Relaxation Massage will be lighter and more general than a Remedial Massage. The techniques used often come from Swedish Massage and Myofascial Release. The massage will cover most of the body depending on time and will place a special emphasis on the feet, hands, and head—areas that, in our experience, relax the body rapidly when worked on. There will be soft music playing, which we can turn off if you would prefer silence. We recommend either a 60- or 90-minute treatment to allow yourself to settle into a state of total relaxation.
Deep tissue massage is a form of massage technique that focuses on releasing and treating chronic patterns and restrictions in the deeper myofascial of the muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. The therapist uses slow strokes with deep finger pressure, compression and friction applied across the grain of the muscles. This helps to break down scar tissue and crystallization restoring muscular balance increasing circulation of blood, lymph, cerebrospinal and inertial fluids to release tension and speed up the removal of toxins and waste products from the body. Lack of oxygen and nutrients to the stressed muscles build up toxins in the muscle tissue causing inflammation. Deep tissue massage technique helps to eliminate the toxins from the muscles increasing range of movement, restoring length and flexibility to the fascia, and improving the overall health of the fascia and connective tissue of the body.
