Classic Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is one of the most popular massages in the U.S. It involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental and physical health, using long flowing strokes. The benefits of Swedish massage include increased blood and lymphatic fluid flow, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension. Depending upon preference, this massage can range from a light to deep technique.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage aims to affect the deeper tissue structure of the fascia and muscles. This technique directly affects the connective tissues – tissues that surround, protect and support all other structures in the body. Swedish massage and deep tissue massage have many movements in common but they differ in pressures used, the latter one uses more intense pressure and more structural work. This technique is effective in releasing restrictions in the muscles. This technique can be used to release adhesions in the surrounding connective tissue. One should never be under the perception that if the therapist uses more intense pressure then he will be relieved from all the adhesions in an hour’s time. It also helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. This technique gets at the heart of the problem and helps the muscles and connective tissue in eliminating toxins and circulating blood and oxygen. It is recommended to drink lots of water after the session to help the body to eliminate the toxins.
Pregnancy Massage
There are so many changes your body and mind go through over a short amount of time when carrying a child. Massage can help with swelling and pain you may have throughout your pregnancy. Sometimes all of the hormonal changes leave you feeling like you are on an emotional roller coaster. Massage reduces your stress, leaving you in a state of relaxation and calm acceptance of your continually evolving body.

Benefits of Massage
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
