Therapeutic Massage
Massage's are primarily used to improve overall health. A therapeutic massage is a style that combines long, flowing strokes with fast vigorous yet soothing strokes to help stimulate circulation, and to break muscle knots.
Perfect for those who are looking to relax, reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and soreness. The speed and strength applied by the therapist can vary greatly depending on what kind of problems and muscle knots are found. A good Swedish massage helps with certain physical conditions, such as muscle pain or joint stiffness. You can request for light, medium or firm pressure. Benefits of Swedish massage may include enhanced relaxation, a reduction in stress, better blood flow, decrease anxiety and reduced blood pressure.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage aims to breakdown adhesion's in the tissue, thereby restoring healthy blood circulation. By using lengthening and broadening strokes, those similar to Swedish massage, but are performed slower and with greater pressure to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, it can decrease muscle tension, and relieve pain throughout the entire body. It is especially helpful for those who suffer from osteoarthritis, acute injury, chronic pain, limited mobility, repetitive stress injuries and fibromyalgia. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific musculoskeletal problem. Making a longer appointment will allow us to focus on multiple areas. You'll leave feeling looser and have an increased range of motion.
Prenatal Blurb
Pregnancy massage can help with the fatigue, emotions, and aches that may accompany you during the prenatal and postpartum periods of your pregnancy. We use pillows to help you get into comfortable, supported side-lying or supine (face up) positions, then use a combination of relaxing Swedish and targeted therapeutic techniques to alleviate pain and swelling, reduce stress, and generally give you a chance to connect with your changing body.

FAQs Massage
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER A MASSAGE?
Depending on what type of massage you are getting most often people feel relaxed even feeling relief from chronic aches and pains. Often you can feel an increase in energy, heightened awareness and an increase in productivity which can last a few days.
If you received a deep tissue massage, you may feel a bit sore the next day similar to a good work out at the gym. Staying warm, a hot shower or bath to soak could be helpful to ease the soreness.
