One of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body. This type of massage is extremely beneficial because it reaches the deepest layer of muscles, fascia (connective tissue surrounding the joints) and tendons. The goal in deep tissue massage is to breakdown adhesions (tense areas within the muscle). Adhesions in the muscle are very important to address because they cause pain, inflammation and limit motion of the muscles and joints.  

Pregnancy massage is specifically tailored to the delicate requirements of the pregnancy year. Drawing on a combination of techniques and strokes based on Swedish massage and other gentler forms of bodywork, our therapist does a careful evaluation of each client and creates a custom treatment plan specifically focused on the individual needs of mother and unborn child, paying particular attention to the stage of the pregnancy and any other complicating factors.
