Integrative massage is the application of specific treatment protocols targeting the specific problem(s) each client presents with. It is the practical application of numerous hands on techniques to treat a client’s specific areas of dysfunction during a massage session.
Swedish massage is the most common massage therapy technique in the United States. (In case you were wondering, Swedish massage is called “classic massage” in Sweden.) A Swedish massage focuses on overall relaxation, circulation, and physical and mental wellness. Swedish massage includes gliding, kneading, tapping, stretching, and cross-friction strokes.
Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
A full body, muscular massage using medium to deep pressure to massage the entire body. The warmth of the stones helps in achieving a greater sense of relaxation and detoxing.
A system of massage used to relieve tension and treat illness, based on the theory that there are reflex points on the hands and feet linked to every part of the body.
Reiki therapy is a Japanese form of energy healing, based on the belief that vital energy flows through your body. This promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety, and more. The Reiki practitioner uses gentle touch - or places their hands just above your body - to help guide this energy in a way that promotes balance and healing.
