Swedish massage is based on five basic strokes: effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, compression, and vibration to help the body improve its circulation.

This treatment is perfect for those who need to relax and un-wind, it clears away tension in your body and stress on your mind. Deep Tissue Massage - form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that after the treatment soreness maybe present, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session. Sports Massage - a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pain and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.

The benefits can include: the relief of joint and muscular pain (due to extra weight and postural imbalance), reduced swelling, Improve immunity, and reduce stress and fatigue. Hot Stone Therapy - style of massage where heated stones are incorporated into the massage to deepen the relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating. The treatment is will incorporate stone placement and massaging of the tissue using the stones. Chair massage - a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing.
