SWEDISH
The most commonly practiced
form of massage, which focuses on the superficial tissue
of the body using slow and kneading techniques designed
to induce relaxation, enhance circulation and range of motion.
SHIATSU
Originated thousands of
years ago in traditional Chinese medicine literally meaning
finger pressure in Japanese. The pressure is applied with
fingers, hands, elbows and knees to pressure points along
invisible channels of energy called meridians which balances
the flow of vital life force. Gentle stretching can be also
be administered in this type of massage therapy.
DEEP TISSUE
A technique using elbows,
knuckles and forearms but is not limited to these modalities,
consequently freeing and elongating the myofascial connective
tissue deep to the superficial layer of skin and fascia.
The pressure is deep and slow.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Derived from Shiatsu, aids
the body to achieve maximum physical performance. The therapist
focuses on specific muscles corresponding to a particular
sport. Range of motion and stretching techniques are key
components. This modality reduces muscle tension, minimizes
swelling and soreness, encourages relaxation, and reduces
recuperation time. Certain methods spread muscle fibers
to alleviate and reduce facial adhesions and improve circulation.
THAI
MASSAGE / THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Works meridians (energy
pathways) using rhythmic pressing combined with deep stretches,
joint movement and palm pressure. Thai Yoga blends Thai
massage and yoga principles. These types of massages are
performed while a fully clothed client lies on a floor mat,
no oil is used. Thai massage can also be done on a massage
table.
