Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage. It involves the use of hands, forearms & elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental & physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be included as part of the massage. Swedish Massage is a very relaxing & therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading & percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging & include relief from aches & pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, increased blood circulation, decreased stress in muscle tension & improved range of motion.
Deep tissue massage is a technique that's mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains & sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles & connective tissues. Deep Tissue Massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body & is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions & past lingering injuries.
Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment & that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing & removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Prenatal Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical & emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, prenatal massage helps release the pain & discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight, postural imbalance, improved breathing & relaxation.
Oftentimes, many women experiences sciatic nerve pain in late pregnancy as the uterus rests on muscles of the pelvic floor & lower back. The pressure of the uterus spreads tension to the muscles of the upper & lower leg; causing them to swell & put pressure on nearby nerves. It enhances the function of muscles & joints, improves circulation, stimulates mental & physical fatigue. Massage therapy addresses the inflamed nerves by helping to release the tension on nearby muscles. Many women have experienced a significant reduction in sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy through massage.
