Swedish Massage - uses a system of long gliding strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of muscles, generally in the direction of blood flow toward the heart, sometimes combined with active and passive movements of the joints.
This system is used to promote general relaxation, improve circulation and range of motion, and relieve muscle tension. Swedish massage is the most common form of massage.
Sport Massage - uses techniques similar to Swedish and Deep Tissue but more specifically adapted to deal with the needs of athletes and the effects of athletic performance on the body.
Sports massage is used before or after events, as part of an athlete's training regimen, and to promote healing from injuries.
Deep Tissue Work - is used to release chronic patterns of muscular tension using slow strokes, direct pressure, or friction directed across the grain of the muscles with the fingers, thumbs, or elbows.
Deep Tissue Work is applied with greater pressure and to deeper layers of muscle than Swedish massage.
Lymphatic Massage - is used to boost the immune system and restore lymph flow.
Following specific massage patterns and appropriate pressure that only the lymphatic system responds to, the lymphatic system is stimulated by gentle nudges and the accumulated lymph fluid is rerouted toward the healthy vessels.
Shiatsu - is a system based on the bodies energy meridians (energy pathways which circulate throughout the body).
Shiatsu massages are normally done fully clothed and involve pressing points on the body and stretching an opening of the energy meridians.
Reiki - is a form of therapy that uses simple hands-on, no-touch, and visualization techniques, with the goal of improving the flow of life energy in a person.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means "universal life energy" in Japanese, and Reiki practitioners are trained to detect and alleviate problems of energy flow on the physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Reiki touch therapy is used in much the same way to achieve similar effects that traditional massage therapy is used-to relieve stress and pain, and to improve the symptoms of various health conditions.
