Can you describe the prominent forms of massage, (Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Sports Massage) and the differences between them? [top]

SWEDISH MASSAGE IS USUALLY CHARACTERIZED AS EMPHASIZING LONG GLIDING STROKES, WITH SOME KNEADING, FRICTION, AND PRESSURE. IT TENDS TO PRODUCE RELAXATION AND SIGNIFICANT ENDORPHIN RESPONSE WITH AN OVERALL "FEEL GOOD' RESULT. THE MUSCLES IMPACTED ARE TYPICALLY THE TOP LAYER(S) PRIMARILY.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE REPRESENTS FOCUSED PRECISE ACCESSING OF THE DEEP MUSCLES WITH KNOWLEDGEABLE MANIPULATION OF THE ORIgins AND INSERTIONS OF THE DEEP MUSCLES AS WELL AS DEEP CROSS FIBER FRICTION TO CREATE RELEASE OF CONTRACTIONS, RESTRICTED BLOOD FLOW AND ADHESIONS OF MUSCLE FIBERS.

SPORTS MASSAGE USES THESE TECHNIQUES ALONG WITH HEAT AND COLD APPLICATIONS AND RANGE OF MOTION MOVEMENTS, ALL AIMED AT SPECIFIC SPORTS PERFORMANCE AS A PRE- OR POST EVENT TREATMENT.

OTHER MODALITIES SUCH AS REFLEXOLOGY AND ACUPRESSURE MERIDIAN WORK DEAL WITH CREATING BALANCE AND REMOVING BLOCKAGES TO LIFE FORCE ENERGY FLOW. [top]

What are the benefits of a regular massage schedule versus one session massage results? [top]

ONE SESSION RESULTS OFTEN/USUALLY PROVIDE VERY PRONOUNCED AND WELL RECEIVED RESULTS. OFTEN THERE IS IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM TIGHTNESS AND PAIN AND CERTAINLY A NICE AND PLEASANT SENSE OF WELL-BEING. HOWEVER, MOST OF OUR CLIENTS ARE NOT THE "SPA CLIENTS" WITH A SIMPLE CASE OF MILD STRESS OR AN ACTIVITY TO FILL A SPARE HOUR IN THEIR VACATION SCHEDULE....THOUGH THAT IS A GREAT THING TO DO. MOST HAVE MORE PERVASIVE, RECURRING DEEPER ISSUES THAT THEY SEEK TO IMPROVE.

REGULAR MASSAGE SCHEDULES HAVE A CUMULATIVE AND INCREASED BENEFIT. DEEP TISSUE WORK TENDS TO BREAK UP ADHESIONS AND IMPROVE MOBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SELF MANAGEMENT WITH YOGA AND STRETCHING AND WARM UP EXERCISES HELP CLIENTS BUILD ON OFFICE PROGRESS AND REACH HIGHER LEVELS OF WELL-BEING.

CONTINUING SESSIONS KEEP "RAISING THE BAR" AND CLIENTS SOON RECOGNIZE THAT THEY CAN REACH NEW LEVELS OF "PERSONAL BEST" BY INCORPORATING MASSAGE WEEKLY OR BI-WEEKLY.

THE BODY-MIND CONNECTION WORKS TO HELP CLIENT DIFFUSE STRESS BEFORE IT TAKES A TOLL ON THE BODY BY HAVING A FAVORABLE EFFECT ON THE BODY'S IMMUNITY TO DISEASE.

WE FIND THAT CLIENTS FEEL EMPOWERED IN MANAGING THEIR DOWN HEALTH AND REACH A HIGHER LEVEL OF SELF ESTEEM WHEN THEY TAKE CHARGE IN THIS WAY. [top]
