Swedish Massage
A system of long strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles. Swedish massage is generally a gentle technique aimed to reduce stress and provide overall health enhancement. It is the ìfeel-goodî massage.

Deep Tissue Massage
Uses slow strokes, direct pressure on contracted areas applied either following or going across the grain of the muscles, tendons, and fascia with the fingers, thumbs, or elbows. Deep tissue massage works deeply into the muscles and connective tissue to release chronic aches and pains.

Sports Massage
Sports massage benefits both professional athletes as well as the weekend exerciser. Three main types of sports massage are practiced: Pre-event massage-this readies the muscles for activity by warming them up and stimulating circulation. This helps prevent injuries. Post-event massage-after your workout, massage helps remove lactic acid and other toxins that build up during heavy activity. This helps prevent that muscle soreness and stiffness that often results the day after a heavy workout. Injury Rehabilitation-injured muscles heal faster when they receive an adequate supply of oxygen and can expel wastes through the bloodstream. Massage helps improve circulation and hastens the healing process.

Neuromuscular massage
Applied to specific muscles, often used to increase blood flow, release knots of muscle tension, or release pain/pressure on nerves. It usually involves trigger points (painful spots in a muscle) and helps break up scar tissue that has formed over the injured muscle.

On-site Massage (also known as chair massage or corporate massage)
Used while the client is clothed and seated in a specially designed chair. These chairs most often slope forward allowing access to the large muscles of the back. On-site massage usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes and is intended to relax and improve circulation.
