Swedish relaxation Massage

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.
