few popular massage therapy types offered by her

 

  • Swedish Massage. Its main purpose is relaxation, but it can be a good starting point, it increases blood flow, and eases into more aggressive massage techniques.
  • Deep Tissue Massage. This is one of those more aggressive techniques where the therapist works deep into the soft tissues to loosen up “knots” or clenched muscles and break up scar tissue. This technique is very useful if there is a long-term pain issue or if there’s been an injury.
  • Lymphatic Massage. You’ll sometimes hear this technique referred to as lymphatic draining. This is because the purpose is to move and release lymph fluids in the body. It’s most often used for people who have swelling due to stagnant lymph fluid, this is called lymphedema.
  • Trigger Point Massage. Those little knots in your muscles are often trigger points, which are tiny muscle spasms or a build up of tension. Using trigger point massage techniques and often pairing them with deep tissue massage can release the knot and improve the blood flow which can help reduce pain.
  • Myofascial Release. Your fascia is the connective tissue that is underneath your skin. It supports your structures and softly surrounds them. Sometimes these tissues get tense and tight and using this technique can relieve tightness
  • Prenatal and Postnatal Massage. Prenatal massage offers many benefits such as hormone regulation, reduce swelling, improved pain, improved circulation and relaxes the muscles/joints.  Post partum massage helps mother after giving birth to restore their body, relieve stress, improve stretch marks and mood swings
