Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of
strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type
of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced
mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body.
Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive
motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the
session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after
the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will
have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body.
Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle
rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to
physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of
techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting
and profoundly transformative.

Myofascial Massage
Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of
motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane
surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body,
imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of
massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important
membrane.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is
harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances
performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax
the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in
aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn
promoting the body's natural immune function.
