Swedish Massage

Relaxing massage incorporating five different strokes and kneading techniques on the soft tissues of the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments). The strokes move blood and lymph fluid in the direction of the heart. Swedish massage increases local circulation, improves muscle and skin tone and decreases muscle tension.

Hot Stone Massage

Intended to be extremely relaxing, a heated stone massage involves the placement of sanitized, warmed, smooth rocks upon different parts of the body. Typically, the treatment is done in conjunction with traditional massage techniques, such as Swedish massage, and the stones may be used with applied pressure by the massage therapist during the treatment. Often, stones also are placed--and left for a period of time--on certain body parts such as the spine, hands or belly, and replaced once they cool. Cool stones may also be used to address muscle injury.


Sport Massage

Sports massage is a systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body that focuses on muscles relevant to a particular sport.Sports massage is reported to have many beneficial effects in athletes. Sports massage can be used pre-performance, post-performance, during training or for rehabilitation. Athletes of all levels may benefit from sports massage. If you are looking for a way to improve your athletic performance, then sports massage may be for you.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is used to release chronic muscle tension The focus on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).

A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that people's blood pressure fell after a single 45 to 60 minute deep tissue massage. Additionally, a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.

Paraffin Hand Wax and Massage

Paraffin therapy is one of the most effective methods of applying deep heat to relieve pain and stiffness.One of the overlooked benefits of paraffin therapy is that it soothes and moisturizes the skin, opens pores, increases circulation, and promotes a sense of calm in the client.
