- Swedish MassageSwedish massage is one of the most well-known forms of massage today. Its main benefit is relaxation, which is accomplished by using a combination of long gliding strokes as well as kneading, friction, and tapping. Other benefits include increased circulation, improved flexibility, and decreased muscle toxins.
- Deep Tissue MassageGoing a step beyond Swedish massage, deep tissue massage affects deeper layers of muscle, connective tissue, and tendons. It is generally used to relieve chronic muscle tension in problem areas. To be most effective, deep tissue massage should be performed very slowly, giving the tissue time to relax in order to allow even deeper work, as needed, which keeps the client most comfortable during the work.

- Myofascial TherapyFascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that wraps and is intrinsic within muscles, organs, and cavities throughout the body. The myofascial unit is the combination of muscle and fascia. When injured, muscle and the fascia that surrounds it can become contracted and even give rise to trigger points. Myofascial release technique is a type of precise stretching that uses a light stretch to release this tightness and the soreness that accompanies it. It is generally performed without lotions or oils, working small areas at a time, repeating till the sore spots are eliminated and the hyper-contracted muscles and fibers are returned to a state of relaxation.
