You are invited to walk our Labyrinth for a meditational walk before or after your massage . Therapeutic Massage Techniques Swedish massage is the most common type and is used to increase relaxation and blood circulation and decrease muscle tension. The more superficial layers of muscles are worked on with a variety of long strokes, kneading, friction and vibration. Deep tissue massage works specific muscles, both superficial and deep, in a region of the body to release chronic tension patterns. The work is done slowly and deeply and with precision and sensitivity.
Myofascial massage uses very slow strokes to relax and soften fascia, a type of connective tissue.
The therapist and client co-create space in the client's body so muscles and other structures can funtion more optimally. Most of our massage therapists are training in all of the above techniques. If you have a request for a specific technique, please let us know in advance so that we can match you up with the right massage therapist.
