Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a relaxing massage utilizing a series of long, gliding strokes and gentle kneading techniques on the muscles, combined with active and passive movements on the joints.
Myofascial (Deep Tissue) Massage
This is a therapy focusing on specific area of the body to reduce tension by stretching and manipulating fascia (connective tissue surrounding the muscles) and the muscles themselves. The treatment requires active participation and communication from the client.
