Massage is very therapeutic. Some of the many forms of massage offered are Swedish Massage for relaxing, Deep Muscle and Reflexology.
Swedish Massage:
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Deep Muscle Massage:
Deep Muscle Massage is used to release chronic patterns of muscular tension using slow strokes, direct pressure, or friction usually on a focused problem area. Often the movements are directed across the grain of the muscles (cross-fiber) using the fingers, thumbs, or
elbows. This is applied with greater pressure and at deeper layers of the muscle than Swedish Massage and that is why it is called Deep Muscle Massage.
Reflexology:
Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet and hands to effect corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying this technique a reflexologist can
break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body.
