BODY MASSAGE

SWEDISH MASSAGE

This is a "classic" whole-body massage that applies light and energetic pressure or light touch. Think of this method as the perfect combination of massage and physiotherapy, a process that promotes total relaxation and muscle tension release. The massage therapist will use five main types of massage techniques in a Swedish massage: stroking and gliding, rubbing, tapping or pounding, kneading, vibration.

Swedish massage offers the following health benefits:

  • Easing muscular strain by flushing out toxins
    • Improving blood circulation and blow flow throughout the body
      • Helping to keep ligaments and tendons supple and improving range of motion
        • Reducing emotional and physical stress
          • Easing back pain and chronic pain

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

A deep tissue massage targets a particular area, for example, low back pain, recovery from injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and involves applying firmer pressure and slower strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle, tendons, and fascia. The movements are generally performed with fingers, knuckles, hands, elbows, and forearms, and are commonly focused solely on the specific areas of pain and tension.

Deep tissue massage offers the following health benefits:

  • Reduces low back pain, upper back and neck pain
  • Lowers blood pressure and heart rate
  • Rehabilitates injured muscles
  • Recovers from injuries (e.g. sports injury, falls, MVA injury llike whiplash)
  • Reduces osteoarthritis pain , sciatica, fibromyalgia etc.

THERAPEUTIC BODY MASSAGE

With this treatment, a massage therapist will use smooth black basalt rocks that have been heated to a uniform temperature. Basalt stones are very rich in iron, which makes them particularly great at retaining heat and are even believed to help improve the flow of energy in your body. In addition to loosening muscles, the heat from the massage stones opens up blood vessels and improves circulation. Improved circulation allows more oxygen to be delivered to the muscles, which helps alleviate aches and pains.

The massage therapist will apply the hot stones on specific points along the body to create soothing pressure or use them to massage muscles with steady pressure.

Therapeutic body massage provides the following health benefits:

  • Reduces muscle tension
  • Improves circulation
  • Increases joint mobility and flexibility
  • Improves recovery of soft tissue injuries
