Treatment Modalities

Deep Tissue:

Deep Tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury.

Swedish:

Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. It is more of a superficial approach, and concentrates primarily on improving circulation, and superficial structures.

Sports Massage:

Designed with the athlete in mind, most sports massage treatments are primarily concerned with recovery from sports injury or soreness following training. Similar to that of deep tissue, sports massage includes many techniques which access deep structures including the muscle and tendons. This increases circulation, movement of lymph fluid and encourages recovery of many sports injuries.

Tui-Na:

Focus is primarily on concepts of Chinese Medicine. A treatment and acupuncture points will be used according to a Chinese medical diagnosis. It includes pushing, stretching and kneading the muscles and pinching/pressing at acupressure points.
