Swedish Massage
Therapy:
This is the most common type of massage therapy in the United
States. It is also known as Swedish massage or simply massage
therapy.
Massage therapists use long smooth strokes, kneading, and
circular movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage
lotion or oil.
Swedish massage therapy can be very gentle and relaxing. If
you've never had massage before, this is a good one to try
first.
Hot
Stone Massage:
Heated, smooth stones are placed on certain points on the body
to warm and loosen tight muscles and balance energy centers in
the body.
The massage therapist may also hold stones and apply gentle
pressure with them. The warmth is comforting. Hot stone massage
is good for people who have muscle tension but prefer lighter
massage.
Deep Tissue
Massage:
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and
connective tissue. The massage therapist uses slower strokes or
friction techniques across the grain of the muscle.
Deep tissue massage is used for chronically tight or painful
muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from
injury.
Sports Massage:
Sports massage is specifically designed for people who are
involved in physical activity. But you don't have to be a
professional athlete to have one-it's also used by people who
are active and work out often. The focus isn't on relaxation but
on preventing and treating injury and enhancing athletic
performance.
A combination of techniques are used. The strokes are generally
faster than Swedish massage. Facilitated stretching is a common
technique. It helps to loosen muscles and increase flexibility.

detoxify the tissues of environmental toxins. |
