Types
of Massages
Swedish
Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known
type of massage. It was developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter
Ling at the University of Stockholm in 1812. It uses a firm but gentle
pressue to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension,
improve flexibility and create relaxation.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue
massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of
the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue
massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as
Swedish massage,
but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more
focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic
muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")
Therapeutic
Therapeutic Massage
is a manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue for the purpose of
stimulating circulation and promoting relaxation. It has been used
in many world cultures for more than 4,000 years. Massage allows
you a quiet time to focus on yourself and become more connected to your
body. Massage is generally used for the reduction of stress and pain.
It has been shown to boost the immune system as well. Since most
diseases are exacerbated by stress, massage can help you become and stay
healthier.
Relaxation
A smooth,
flowing style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and
range of movement, and relieves muscular tension.
