Active clients and athletes will benefit from Sports Massage. Focused on improving athletic performance, it is often used for pre-event preparation and post-event recovery with sports and fitness competitors. Therapeutic stretching is commonly included and indicated. This style of massage can be done with athletic attire on.
Appropriate depth of pressure is often an important part in successful application of technique with massage therapy. Deep tissue massage is popular with many clients who enjoy a more transformative massage rather than one that is just relaxing. By incorporating the use of elbows, forearms, and loose fists, this type of massage is well known for its deeply effective results and higher levels of intensity.
As "Qi" or "Prana" energy flows through our body, there are often areas that become blocked with a concentrated build up of tension. With acupressure, sustained compression on various master points can bring about incredible changes in the body. Mood and attitude will often shift, and this type of approach can bring increased body awareness to clients and significant relief of pain.
With Swedish Massage, there is an opportunity to relax and let go without the intensity of a deep tissue massage. Effleurage and kneading are commonly used, as well as light to firm pressure. This is the best option when looking for a massage to ease stress and unwind with minimal pain and discomfort.
There are times when hands and feet just need more attention. Also, the ears, scalp and face. A session with reflexology promotes an experience that is uniquely relaxing and at the same time energizing. By using "Zone Therapy" and treating "Reflex Points," which often correlate to specific organ meridians, this type of massage is particularly detoxifying and balancing to the organ systems.
Extended and repetitive use of muscles will inevitably develop adhesions, becoming tight and fibrous. A localized "Trigger Point" may develop here, which is a localized area of muscular dysfunction and pain. Quality breathing and sustained pressure of these "Hot Spots" or "Knots" can induce powerfully healing results, lowering pain levels and promoting harmony within the body.
