Deep Tissue, Trigger Point and Acupressure Therapy

Deep Tissue Trigger Point and Acupressure Therapy is a kind of bodywork that will incorporate many different types of techniques to help with tight muscle problem areas or chronic pain issues. It will address musculature from superficial to deep layers. This type of massage is usually limited to a few areas of the body. Stretches are often incorporated into the massage, or given to the client to perform at home, to enhance the therapy and help maintain the results achieved from the massage.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of body work. It combines oils or lotions with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of massage are vast and include relief from aches and pains, decrease stress levels in the body, enhance mental clarity, and improve sleep patterns.

 

Sports Massage

There are two main goals to sports massage:

     *Assist the athlete in achieving and maintaining peak performance
     *To support healing of injuries

Many of the techniques of athletic massage are identical to those of Swedish massage such as “effleurage” gliding stokes, “kneading” vertical tissue lift, passive and active joint mobilization, percussion, vibration, and friction. One of the primary differences is that with sports massage the movements are done two to three times more rapidly in sports massage than with Swedish massage.
