Thai massage is an interactive manipulation of the body using a combination of techniques ranging from pressure points to yoga. Feel your muscular and joint tension slip away as your therapist combines passive stretching with acupressure massage to revitalize energy. This is truly a unique experience in the healing art. Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints.
Swedish Massage is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West. Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema or swelling. In addition, massage reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension-which aids in better sleep-and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
