A stone massage uses smooth, flat, and heated rocks at key pressure points on the body. It relaxes and eases tense muscles and damaged soft tissue throughout the body. It relieves muscle tension and pain, reduces stress and anxiety, and may also help promote sleep.
It is similar to the Swedish massage but applies deeper pressure. It is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. It focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layers surrounding muscles, bones, and joints).
The Swedish massage stimulates the lymphatic system which carries away the body's waste, increasing blood circulation, promoting mental and physical relaxation, decreasing stress and muscle tension, and improving range of motion.
Therapeutic bodywork focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the changes of pregnancy. This specialized massage enhances the function of the muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.
Also known as "zone" therapy, reflexology applies pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques. It helps relieve pain by stimulating predefined pressure points. These reflex points correspond to specific areas of the body, used singularly or in combination, to produce a therapeutic effect. This technique dates back over 5,000 years to ancient China, Egypt, and India.
This type of massage therapy is specifically meant for athletes to help prevent injuries, prepare the body for athletic activity, and maintain it in optimal condition. It helps athletes recover from strenuous workouts and sports-related injuries.
