Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage in the United States. The primary goal is to relax the entire body. Light to medium pressure is applied to manipulate the muscles with long gliding stokes. Swedish massage is exceptionally  beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Many athletes, personal trainers and body builders love to receive a Swedish Massage on the rest days to help their muscles recover and grow!

Acupressure Massage

Acupressure is a thousands-year-old form of massage therapy that involves applying pressure to certain points on the body to address ailments. It is generally done with loose fitting clothes on. However, can be done cloth off if preferred.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, people have meridians or channels throughout the body. Qi, which is understood as a life-sustaining energy force, runs along those meridians. Qi can become stuck at some points along the meridians, and the goal of acupressure is to keep the energy flowing using pressure at specific points. Naturally, the practice has many associated benefits. Acupressure is often used for pain relief. 

Acupressure could be incorporated in any massage sessions when needed.
