Types of Table Massage

Swedish or Relaxation Massage
Swedish massage is generally considered for reducing muscle tension and overall body stress, with the main goal being to relax the mind and body.  This technique utilizes light to medium pressure with long sweeping strokes, kneading, and gliding over the superficial layers of muscle tissue.  Swedish massage increases vascular circulation, facilitates the release of built up toxins in tissue, and encourages increased joint mobility with active or passive stretching, and range of motion movements.

Hot Stone Massage
Soothe the nervous system with heated, smooth volcanic basalt stones.  Increases circulation, flushes toxins, release chronic tension and promotes deep relaxation.  Myofascial and Neuromuscular techniques used.  Especially helpful for people with fibromyalgia and arthritis.

Myofascial Release or Deep Tissue Massage
This can be used for areas of chronic pain due to tightness in the fascia or connective tissue.  Using medium to deep pressure with long stretching strokes and manipulation of the muscles, the tight areas are released and are able to function with greater movement and ease.  Fascia can be tight from poor posture, chronic inflammation, and surgery.  This technique is helpful for headaches, plantar fascitis, TMJ, and carpal tunnel and scar tissue.


Neuromuscular or Trigger Point Therapy
This type of massage utilizes deep, concentrated finger pressure to release the restricted muscle fiber bands, and break the cycles of muscle spasm and pain.  This helps areas in the muscles that can cause radiating pain to other areas of the body.  This will help muscle imbalances and postural distortions.
