Swedish massage is usually what most people think of as massage. Techniques include effleurage (long slow strokes along the muscle fibers), petrissage (wringing and twisting the muscles across the muscle fibers) and cross-fiber friction (using your thumbs and elbows to work out specific points going against the muscle fibers.) Deep Tissue massage includes the above and adds long, slow muscle stripping along the length of the muscles, using thumbs and elbows or selected massage tools and involves an added fee. The goal for both massages is to break up the muscle fibers that are stuck together which will increase blood flow, rid the area of lactic acid and decrease pain. In addition, both styles stimulate nerve pathways, calm the nervous systems, and just plain feel good!
Sessions may include heated bamboo work and cupping. Please let me know if you have unregulated/uncontrolled high blood pressure or any other health condition that could affect your ability to tolerate increased circulation or cupping.
