Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension and helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. It usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
Although Deep Tissue Massage is an intense massage with powerful results, it is done in such a way as to encourage the body not to react defensively. The depth and pressure of the work is kept within the comfort range of the client.
Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body. Note that deep tissue techniques are as varied as their practitioner.
Deep Tissue Massage is both corrective and therapeutic. It is an intense form of massage and although a lot of people can benefit from it, we stongly suggest you talk with your therapist and tell him / her more about yourself / what you are trying to achieve before signing up for a session
Swedish Massage is the most popular form of bodywork practiced in the West. It employs soft strokes on the more delicate and bony structures of the body, such as the face, hands and feet, and stronger strokes over thickly muscled areas that retain stress, such as the neck and shoulders. The careful attention to the amount of pressure makes Swedish Massage great for relaxation.
Swedish Massage helps reduces stress levels, balance the body, assist with posture, relieve aches and pains and increase the flow of oxygen and other nutrients to the blood and bones.
Acupressure or Acupuncture without needles is “finger pressure” therapy that has been used to relieve a variety of problems including back pain, neck and shoulder problems, stress, insomnia, digestive problems and fatigue.
It is used as in Acupuncture to re route the chi in your body and restoring the natural balance and it also focuses on the health of the liver.
Zen Shiatsu, established by a Shizuto Masunaga is a style of Shiatsu, different from a Classic Shiatsu. Masunaga brought Shiatsu back to its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine and introduced psyhological aspects of treatment. So Zen Shiatsu is a form of bodywork, a manipulation administered by thumbs, fingers, palms and elbows without the use of any instrument, in which sustained comfortable pressure is applied to all parts of the body on specific acupuncture points, which are situated on the energy (Qi) meridians. Those are the same meridians which are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for acupuncture - application of the needles to the body. This technique stimulates the natural healing power stored in the body, wherefore symptoms of disease lessen and vitality is regained.
