Swedish Massage:
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood. Swedish massage uses five main strokes to stimulate the circulation of blood through the body: petrissage (kneading), effleurage (stroking), friction, tapping and vibration.
Deep Tissue/Sport Massage:
Deep Tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
Stretching:
Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (muscle group) is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility and range of motion.
Orthopedic Massage:
Orthopedic massage is a therapeutic massage focused on treating painful conditions which affect the soft tissues of the body.
Neuromuscular Therapy:
By definition, neuromuscular therapy is the utilization of static pressure on specific myofascial or trigger points to relieve pain. This technique manipulates the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin and fascia) to balance the muscular system with the nervous system.
Geriatric Massage:
Geriatric massage is designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly population. It involves use of the hands to manipulate the soft tissue of the body to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and increase range of motion. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of geriatric massage.
