SWEDISH MASSAGE
Deep-Tissue Massage
The Swedish massage is one of the most common types of massages you can get. It is performed to energize the body and improve overall health. This type of massage involves actions like percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling. Massage oil or lotion is used to protect the skin from friction.
Massages are a great way to relax and unwind. A massage involves manipulating the muscles and joints to relieve stress or pain. This is achieved by relaxing tight muscles and promoting blood circulation.
Getting a Swedish massage can also be beneficial to your heart. A Massage Therapist manipulates the body's soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels) and uses strokes that flow toward the heart, improving blood circulation.
Swedish massage may help reduce symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety. Some of the symptoms that could be managed by massage therapy include back pains, headaches, muscle issues and other chronic pains.
Massages are also associated with boosting immunity. This can help you in managing conditions like the common cold, asthma, diabetes, and breast cancer.
Swedish Massage is $85 for a one hour all inclusive relaxing massage experience, a half hour session is not recommended but can be performed for $45.
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but it goes farther and is intended for a different purpose.
Deep tissue massage is best suited for:
-
athletes
-
runners
-
people with injuries
It can also work for people with chronic pain conditions such as:
-
fibromyalgia
-
lower back pain
Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your:
-
muscles
-
tendons
-
fascia, or dense connective tissue
Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there’s far more pressure. This pressure can sometimes be painful.
In order to reach the deep muscle tissue, a therapist will massage layer by layer of muscle, applying more and more pressure and employing special techniques with the fingers, fists, and maybe even elbows to reach and stretch that deep tissue.
This type of massage facilitates healing by releasing contracted areas of muscle and tissue. It can help increase blood flow to the soft tissues and may help to reduce inflammation.
Deep Tissue Massage is $85 for a one hour all inclusive highly therapeutic massage. It can also be purchased for an intense half hour session on a focused area such as the legs or shoulders this is recommended for runners and Athletes to get deep into the muscular tissues. A half hour intense focused deep tissue massage is $45.
MASSAGE ASSESSMENT
Before starting long term care or regular Therapy sessions it is important to do a proper massage assessment. This is typically a one hour massage session, ranging from head to toes, where your Therapist can make notes about any conditions your body may be experiencing or that may appear in the future if neglect is continued.
The Assessment is a one time fee of $45 for a half-hour session and is recommended before regular therapy occurs.
