Different Types of Massage

Therapeutic Massage

 Therapeutic Massage manipulates damaged or impaired muscles and tendons. This is done by selectively applying gentle or strong, deep or shallow pressure to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. A  massage therapist has the ability to provide a comprehensive session based on their skills to achieve muscle relaxation and pain reduction.

Key benefits include:
-Stimulation of the blood supply aiding the elimination of toxins in the muscles.
-Calming of the nervous system to ease pain and discomfort .
-Toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility.
-Improving the oxygenation to the cells.
-Easing of stiffness and tension.

A professional massage therapist loosens muscles and connective tissues, to reduce stress of muscular tension. The body can then release spasms and pain, increase its range of motion, and be strengthened to help avoid future injury.

Swedish Massage

 Swedish Massage is a system of long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration and shaking motions all flowing towards the heart.

This relaxing form of massage manipulates the soft tissues of the body to improve circulation and shorten recovery time from muscular strain.

Swedish Massage helps reduce both mental and physical stress and is therefore suggested to be part of a regular program for stress management.

Hot Stone Massage

Individually selected basalt stones are used to massage the body, providing a nurturing and enhanced therapeutic effect. The application of heat not only increases the feeling of well-being but also enables the therapist to work more deeply and more effectively with chronic pain conditions. The therapist will massage with some stones and lay others on the body at particular points.

An amazing hot stone massage comes highly recommended and is true relaxation bliss.
