Swedish Massage

Light to Medium Pressure

​

Swedish Massage is the style that comes to mind when most people think about massage. The goal is to relax the body and is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palm, firm kneading, bending and stretching.

Deep Tissue Massage

Medium to strong pressure

​

Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish Massage but used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension. The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief.

​

Sports Massage

Medium to strong pressure

​

Sports Massage is geared towards athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The particulars of the massage are specific to the athlete’s sport of choice and often focused on a particular troublesome area like a knee or shoulder.
