Swedish relaxation Massage
A Relaxation massage is focused on calming the nervous system, reducing stress, promoting circulation by providing a soothing, gentle touch that encourages full-body relaxation.
The pressure during a relaxation massage is lighter and more rhythmic. Techniques such as long, flowing strokes, light kneading, and circular motions across superficial muscle layers are used, often with massage oils or lotions to reduce friction.
Benefits of a Relaxation Massage
Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved blood flow and immune function
Enhanced sleep quality
Lowered heart rate and blood pressure
Increased flexibility and range of motion through gentle tissue warming
Relaxation massages are an excellent choice when your goal is emotional recharging, stress reduction and better sleep.
Swedish deep tissue massage
A Deep tissue massage is focused on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It’s designed to break up scar tissue, muscle knots (also known as trigger points), and adhesions that can limit mobility and cause chronic pain.
During a deep tissue session, your therapist will apply slow, focused strokes and firm pressure — either targeting specific “trouble spots” or working across muscle fibers and fascia. The goal? Restore proper blood flow, reduce inflammation, and improve function in tight, painful areas.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Relief from chronic muscle tension & pain (neck, shoulders, back, legs)
Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
Breakdown of scar tissue after injuries
Enhanced mobility and range of motion
Reduction in stress hormones (like cortisol) and a boost in feel-good chemicals (like serotonin and oxytocin)
Deep Tissue massages are an excellent choice when your goal is to repair specific muscle related trouble spots. It is important to note that some pain / discomfort may be experienced during a deep tissue in order to alleviate the targeted pain point.
