Massage Therapy

This Massage offers relaxation, helping improve circulation and reduces tension. The objective of Swedish massage is to reduce muscle tension and boost blood circulation throughout the body. Known for its soft, long, kneading strokes combined with shorter, rhythmic tapping to ensure relaxation of tissues. Also, deep, circular movements or wringing meant to increase blood flow.

This massage focuses on painful trouble spots on the body. It targets muscle knots and problem areas in deeper muscle layers and connective tissue.

Massage therapist will use slow, firm, more intense strokes to help relieve pain from repetitive strain, postural problems, injuries, and tight or painful muscles. However, deep tissue massage will never hurt you, even if the strokes are more intense.

Hot stone massages involve hot stones (usually a volcanic rock called basalt that retains heat) placed on different parts of the body. The stones may be left in place or used as massage tools by a massage therapist. This heat on the body’s muscles has a relaxing, healing effect and increases blood flow to the area, as well as loosens muscles. Hot stone massage can be used to treat muscle injuries by reducing stiffness and discomfort.
