| Swedish Massage or Relaxation Massage |
Swedish massage is the style that comes
to mind when most people think about massage. It was developed in Stockholm
a couple of centuries ago and is the most common and best-known type form of
bodywork performed today. The goal is relaxing the entire body and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin. Swedish massage is exceptional for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. |

| Sports Massage |
Sports massage is geared toward athletes
of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The
particulars of the massage are specific to the athlete’s sport of choice and
are often focused on a particular troublesome area like a knee or shoulder. Aspects of massage are gaining popularity as useful components in a balanced training regimen. Sports massage can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event. Athletes have discovered that specially designed massage promotes flexibility, removes fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries, and prepares them to compete at their absolute best. |

| Cranial Sacral |
Cranial sacral therapy (also known as
craniosacral therapy) is a gentle, noninvasive form of alternative
medicine that deals with the movement of the fluid surrounding the skull
and spine. Cranial sacral therapists ease the restrictions of nerve
passages by focusing on the membranes that encase the central nervous
system. Cranial sacral therapy seeks to restore misaligned bones to their proper position and is thought to eliminate the negative effects of stress as well as provide relief from migraine headaches, neck and back pain, temporomandibular joint disorder (the inflammation of the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull) and more. |

| Deep Tissue Massage |
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish
massage but is used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension.
Other benefits include reducing inflammation and helping to eliminate scar
tissue. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and
fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints). Deep tissue massage uses strokes across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain as in Swedish massage. The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief. |

Trigger Point Massage (Myotherapy)
|
A trigger point is a tight area within
muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger
point in the back, for example, may trigger pain in the neck. The
neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the
head. The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache. Trigger
points are caused by muscle overuse or injury, and because the aches are
associated with moving parts, the pain is commonly mistaken for arthritis. Trigger point massage (also known as myotherapy) is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of massage the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort. The result of trigger point massage is the elimination of toxins in the muscles and the release of energizing endorphins. A significant decrease in pain is often found after just one treatment. |

The fascia is manipulated, directly or indirectly, which allows the connective tissue fibers to reorganize themselves in a more flexible, functional fashion. |
