Massage Therapy

Massage is a form of manual therapy that refers to pressing, rubbing and/or manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep targeted pressure. There are many different types of massage, and most sessions will use several styles including, but not limited to:

Swedish Massage

This form of massage uses long strokes, kneading, circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you.

Deep Tissue Massage

This massage technique uses slower strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries.

Sports Massage

This form uses many techniques similar to Swedish massage. Sports massage is geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat related injuries.

Trigger Point Massage

Similar to Deep Tissue massage, this form of massage focuses on using pressure on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries, overuse and stress.

How does the massage work

Please note that these are summaries of specific styles, however, it is rare that a session will contain only a single style. All sessions are designed around the client’s specific needs and requests. Each session is a little different as we aim to cater to your goals, as well as what your body is asking for.

Massage therapy relaxes muscle tissue, which reduces painful contractions and spasms. Massage can also reduce nerve compression. To understand this, consider that when muscles are contracted, they sometimes compress the nerves around them.
