Relaxation Massage

 

Our Relaxation Massage is a gentle form of full body massage, similar to a traditional Swedish massage experience, that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax, comfort and energize you. The variety of slow, firm, smooth and gliding strokes with gentle kneading will help you to deeply relax and feel absolutely wonderful.

​

During a relaxation massage there is less emphasis on working out serious adhesions or knots in the muscle tissue as it’s more about your pleasure, comfort and relaxation. Regardless there are still substantial health benefits to be had from a Relaxation Massage, including calming the nervous system, promoting a sense of well-being, improving blood circulation and stimulating the body’s lymphatic system, which carries away waste products.

​

Benefits of Relaxation Massage

​

Relaxation Massage can help relieve a number of conditions, such as:

• Releasing muscle tension and pain
• Reducing stress
• Easing anxiety and depression
• Improving sleep
• Boosting the immune system
• Relieve headaches and migraines
• Improve digestion
• Increase circulation and mobility

 

Gentle massage stimulates sensory nerve endings in the skin, which transmit messages through the nervous system and causes the brain to release a special chemical that acts as a natural painkiller. These endorphins can help create a sense of well-being, and being touched by another human can have positive effects on cognition, empathy, and mood.

Due to the low pressure and calming effects a relaxation massage is great for first-timers or those who want to get a special treat once a year. However, it can also have a number of health benefits, including eventually releasing knots over the course of a number of gentle treatments.  You choose what and how you want to be massaged; your massage will be tailored exactly to your preferences.

​

A Relaxation Massage is pure bliss.

Deep Tissue Massage

 

Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deep layers of muscle in the body. It works by using slow and firm massage strokes that concentrate the pressure a lot deeper than classic massage therapy; the focus is on the deeper layers of  your body’s muscle tissue, reaching the thick muscles, and targeting the individual muscle fibers. Deep Tissue Massage works by breaking down adhesions, increasing the flow of blood to muscles and helping to reduce inflammation in the body.  It is particularly effective for chronic muscle injury and those who are seeking injury rehabilitation. It is a popular technique with sports massage and can help improve sporting performance.

​

This is a full-body massage with a bit more pressure. By targeting more trigger points we aim to get those knots out while still making you feel a deep sense of relief and rejuvenation.  “Deep Tissue” implies a specific focus on the dense layers of muscle and fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds the muscle. However, Deep Tissue massage does not necessarily always mean deep pressure – “deep” can also refer to the impact of the massage on your body as a restorative therapy.

​

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

 

Deep Tissue massage will give you a range of physical benefits. Consistent massages can help break down scar tissue and “knots” and promote long-term muscle rehabilitation. A good remedial Deep Tissue massage can help to alleviate chronic tension, stiffness or pain and helps with:

• Back pain, shoulder pain and neck pain

• Postural problems

• Osteoarthritis pain

• Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) such as carpal tunnel syndrome

• Sciatica and Scoliosis

• Fibromyalgia and Piriformis syndrome

• Chronic lower back pain

• Removal of blockages and elimination of damaged cells

• Removal of harmful residue left after sports injury

• Eradication of scar tissue and adhesion

• Speeds up recovery time and encourages complete healing

• Muscle tension in the hamstrings, glutes, IT band, legs, quadriceps, rhomboids, upper back

• Reduces blood pressure and releases chronic muscle tension

 

Deep Tissue massage may also aid in lowering high blood pressure and cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety. We use a host of techniques designed to loosen muscles, stretch the fascia, and improve fluid circulation and release the tensions of everyday life.
