Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Therapy
These are common techniques for relieving stress and tension, and
consist of long gliding strokes and kneading with massage cream. Deeper
pressure is used for Deep Tissue Therapy.
-
Clinical / Sports Massage
The therapist carefully analyzes the root causes of the client’s
discomfort to solve problems. For example, many problems are associated
with chronically shortened muscle tissues. Addressing the root cause
helps correcting such problems. Techniques like stripping massage,
trigger point work, and stretching are used to relieve chronic pain,
and can also be beneficial for Pre and/or Post Sports Events therapy.

Oriental Techniques and Energy Work
The ancient Chinese massage technique called Tui Na is noted for its
characteristic use of stretching, vibration, rubbing, tapping, and
extending range of motion of the joints. Shiatsu (finger pressure) and
Anma are traditional Japanese Techniques and performed on pressure
points of the body using deep pressure from thumb and/or elbow. Thai
Massage is very similar to Tui Na and it works very effectively to
increase flexibility. These Oriental massage techniques are closely
related to Qi(Chi) - the body's electromagnetic energy or life force –
and acupressure applied to the body’s 14 major channels (energy
pathways) to promote the body's ability to heal itself by balancing the
flow of Qi.
