This massage style is the descendant of the 18th Century revival of bodywork which began in Sweden. This massage is primarily used to relax the body & mind with slow, light to medium pressured strokes over the body. It is also used to shorten recovery time after exercise by removing metabolic wastes out of the muscles. The strokes and manipulations of this massage are designed with therapeutic benefit in mind.This massage helps to improve blood return from the extremities and does not increase heart load. This massage also stretches ligaments and tendons and relaxes the nerves while stimulating the skin. Swedish massage is a regular component in stress management programs. Is designed for the serious athlete and weightlifter. Sports massage focuses on the muscles used most extensively by individual athletes and has pre-event, post-event and maintenace techniques.

While the recipient is fully clothed the therapist generally focuses in on the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands. A portable massage chair that is designed for comfort and support is used by the therapist.

This is a system of massage developed by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) providers over the last 5000 years. Acupressure uses the Chinese system of meridians and energy flow. Acupressure points are identical to acupuncture points but are stimulated by pressing with the hands and fingers instead of by inserting needles. BACK TO MENUReflexology is based on the theory of reflex points in the hands and feet, which are a feature of Oriental medicine. In Oriental theory bodily energy flows through invisible routes called channels or meridians. These channels end at the feet and hands. They are also represented on the ears. Specific points and areas are directly related to bodily organs, functions and systems. Pressing these points as in acupressure and manipulating these areas results in a treatment effect similar to acupressure. PAGE TOP |
