Bodywork/Massage
Swedish/Relaxation Massage
The perfect choice for clients under stress or for your first session.
Swedish massage is probably the most common and most requested type of massage. Most envision Swedish massage as smooth, continuous strokes with the hands or forearms, with the main focus on relaxation.
While using these strokes with varying pressure, it is useful for releasing the buildup of toxins from the muscles and encouraging the circulation of blood, which carries the vital oxygen and nutrients into the cells and carries waste out.
Oft times it is incorporated in the beginning of your deep tissue or sports massage to prepare the muscles for further work. Swedish massage is the perfect choice for clients under stress or a good choice for a client's first time session.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage consists of a full body massage
with Deep Tissue techniques, passive contraction and release, PLUS assisted range
of motion exercises and stretching.
Whether preparing for a major physical endeavor,
or upon its completion, or even if you are the weekend warrior, Sports massage can help you prepare for optimal performance and can help you recover after it is said and done. Effleurage and
deep tissue strokes help release the uric acid and lactic acid from the muscle tissues.
Your fluid intake helps move these toxins out. The increased
circulation of your blood carries fresh oxygen and nutrients to your depleted cells.
These techniques, when employed together can improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and improve range of motion. You may be able to recover faster and more comfortably!
