Very relaxing and nurturing.  In Swedish Massage, your therapist will use techniques that are lengthening, warming and milking.  The movements in Swedish massage will help to facilitate blood flow and increase circulation in your body.  Pressure can vary from very light to moderately deep.  At no time should the pressure be painful or uncomfortable.

 

                                Your therapist will work more deeply in certain areas of the body and will will be sinking into the deeper layers of muscle, to help you release tight areas of stress and knots.  Deep Tissue's tempo is much slower and more muscle-focused.  You should be able to breathe comfortably through any deep tissue stroke.  If you cannot breathe or if what the therapist is doing is painful, then the pressure is too deep.  Communication of your level of pain during your session is key to both you and the therapist so that the presure can be adjusted accordingly. 

 

                                Trigger Points are hyperirritable spots or nodules in the muscle that can give rise to referred pain and tenderness in other areas of the body.  In Trigger Point Therapy, your therapist will apply slow, non-painful pressure to a trigger point until the barrier of resistance in encountered, contact is maintained until the next barrier releases, pressure will increase until the trigger point is completely released. 

 

                              A mix of Swedish, Deep Tissue, possibly warm stones, and other types of massage tailored to fit your specific needs for relaxation and stress relief.
