Massage Descriptions

• Traditional Thai – is a massage with no oil.  You wear a loose fitting attire.  Lots of compression/decompression and stretching. 
• Swedish – is a style of massage using lubricant (such as massage oil, cream or lotion).  The massage is done with minimal to no clothing and you are covered with a sheet.   Only the area being massaged is exposed. Massage techniques designed to relax muscles by applying pressure and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
• Deep Tissue – is a style, like Swedish massage but goes deeper with stronger deeper pressure.  Less to no medium/lubricant is applied.  Some stretching but not as much as Thai Massage. The deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension.  The focus is on the deepest layers of the muscle tissue, tendons and fascia.
• Fusion Massage – is an integrated massage of different modalities to best fit client’s needs to help reduce pain and discomfort.
• Thai Herbal – are steamed herbal bags applied during the massage to help relax the muscles.   Warm herbs help stimulate blood circulation and relaxes the whole body. (Not recommend for Pre-Natal)
• Focus (Medical) Massage – Massage concentrates on problem areas most of the time prescribed by physicians
• Chair Massage – A seated massage that is typically short in duration — 10 to 15 minutes — and focuses on your back, shoulder, neck and arms.  Chair massage is usually done over clothes and doesn’t require any massage medium.
• Sports massage – This massage therapy is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers.  The particulars of the sports massage technique are specific to the athlete’s sport of choice.  Focusing on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements
• Foot Reflexology – Lower legs to the feet are the main area of focus.
