Swedish Massage
The Swedish massage is one of the most common types of massages you can get. It is performed to energize the body and improve overall health. This type of massage involves actions like percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling. Massage oil or lotion is used to protect the skin from friction.
The technique aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension. Swedish massage is gentler than deep tissue massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief. Swedish massage may loosen up tight muscles caused by daily activities such as sitting at the computer or exercising. It can be very helpful for people who hold a lot of tension in their lower back, shoulders and neck.
Some of the benefits of a Swedish massage are increased blood flow and circulation, lower blood pressure, stress relief and improved sleep.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but it goes farther and is intended for a different purpose. Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
It can also work for people with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and lower back pain. Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your muscles, tendons, fascia or dense connective tissue.
Deep tissue massage is well suited for athletes, runners and people with injuries.
Hot Stone Massage
The localized heat and weight of hot stones allow for improved blood circulation and an easing of tense muscles that allow for deeper muscle layers to be reached. Your therapist will start out the treatment by warming up your muscles with a traditional Swedish massage. Once your muscles are loosened, the massage therapist will begin to add the hot stones. While some therapists will place the stones on your body based on anatomy, others believe that different placements allow for better energy flow and will place stones according to energy points. Either way, stones will usually be placed along your spine, stomach, arms, legs, and palms. Larger stones will normally be placed on larger muscles while the smaller stones are reserved for smaller tissues. After the stones are added, your massage therapist will use the stones as extensions of his or her hands and use them to apply pressure to your muscles.
Foot Massage
Foot massage has health benefits other than just making your feet feel good.
Foot massage boosts your circulation, which helps with healing and keeps your muscles and tissues healthy. That's especially important if you have health problems that add to poor circulation or nerve damage, like diabetes.
It also relieves stress and lowers blood pressure.
Four Hand Massage
With a four-hands massage, two therapists work on one client, often using synchronized moves. A four-hands massage can be like experiencing two full body massages at the same time.
Having four hands massage the body at once is an entirely different experience that engages the brain in such a way as to promote a higher level of relaxation. The mind no longer tries to focus on the movement of the hands, but instead it helps the body naturally reach a deeper level of relaxation and loosens up even particularly tense muscles.
