The most used and versatile technique in the profession. Swedish Techniques are used throughout all massage sessions, bringing all the techniques and the entire massage together into a cohesive flow.  The Swedish Technique focuses on relaxation and enhancing circulation.  Pressure applied can range from very light to firm but gentle, gradually releasing tension and breaking down the “knots”.   This technique helps to warm the muscles and soft connective tissues.  Swedish components are used as a primer for deeper manual therapy.  If no deep tissue techniques are needed or desired, Swedish Technique is excellent for relaxing and an overall boost in serotonin. 

This is by far the most popular massage technique.  Many of the same Swedish Technique components are Deep Tissue Techniques, although the pressure applied is what separates the two.  A Deep Tissue Technique is focused on lessening the restrictions found in the soft tissue.  It is an in-depth approach to relieving pain caused by musculoskeletal issues.  This type of technique is also highly subjective.  “Deep tissue work” is different for every client AND every therapist.  Nonetheless, it is a versatile technique that can be used for all clients with a variety of massage goals.  Whether it’s to relax or for pain management, this is a great technique! Results from receiving deep tissue work include but are not limited to, increased range of motion, increased blood flow, reduction in adhered tissues (knots), flushing of lactic acid & other fluids, and an overall sense of well-being & renewal.

Designed for the expectant mother. Our clients can lay face down due to our special tables and bolsters that cradle the belly. We also have a variety of pillows and props to make the massage as comfortable as possible.  From week one to week 37/38, techniques like Swedish, which are generally light and focused on increased circulation, are used.  Certain pressure points that correlate to the uterus are avoided or a light, flowing pressure is acceptable at these points but no deep work or static pressure should be applied.  As the due date approaches (weeks 37-40), a more in-depth massage can be utilized to loosen the muscles of the hips and low back.  The most effective way to prepare the musculoskeletal components for labor & delivery, is to incorporate massage throughout the entire pregnancy.  The low, mid back, and hips will gradually tighten as the pregnancy progresses.  Massage will help to ease this process and provide some relaxation, mentally and physically, throughout your pregnancy.  

There is much dis-information [on the internet] about pregnancy and massage.  To read more about my personal experience in this modality, check out my blog. BLOG COMING SOON
