Types of Massage
Integrative Massage
Integrative massage uses all of the massage modalities based on the individual wants and needs. The therapist may use deep tissue, trigger point release, stretching, range of motion, reflexology, Swedish massage and myofascial release techniques. Integrative massage is recommended for those who are not sure of what kind of massage they need but are seeking physical relief that works at balancing the mind and body.
Swedish Massage
Is a general systematic massage of the soft tissues to induce a state of deep relaxation. It works mainly on the muscles, ligaments, and tendons and it increases the body’s blood and lymphatic circulation. This is the most popular massage to relax body, mind, and spirit.
Deep Tissue Massage
Uses the application of force to compress tissues in order to reach the deeper layers of muscle, break adhesions, and treat muscle and tendon lesions.
Trigger Point Therapy (Neuromuscular Therapy)
Applies concentrated finger, thumb, or elbow pressure to trigger points, which are painful, irritated “knots” in muscles, to break the cycle of spasm and pain. By working key trigger points, the massage therapist is often able to relax an entire area.
