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.
Tailored massage is exactly what it sounds like- I tailor your massage to fit what your body needs. I use Swedish where relaxation is needed or deep tissue where you have a knot. I use my all my skills as I feel and learn what your body needs.
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. Deep tissue can be pretty intense. 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.
Medi-cupping uses glass cups hooked to a machine that controls the amount of suction. Benefits of medi-cupping are very similar to Swedish and Deep Tissue. Many people feels like it mimics deep tissue without the discomfort. It stimulates stubborn knots and areas of rigid tissue. The body also recovers much quicker since the stagnant blood and toxins are brought to the surface making it easier for the lymphatic system to remove them.
