Swedish Massage

Getting a massage like a Swedish Massage can be an enlightening event. Whether you are stressed out, in a rut or just need a bit of me time, a massage can give you that moment while also cleaning out toxins and relaxing tensed up muscles in your back, neck and throughout the body.

Mention the term massage and most people envision a particular type. In truth, there are many different styles of massages. Each strives for different results and goes about achieving them in different ways.

The Swedish Massage is by far the most popular in North America. The massage involves light, repetitive strokes over an oiled body to relax the muscles. Soft music is often used to create a relaxing atmosphere. A good massage to start with your first time.

And then there is the serious massage. Yes, the deep tissue. This massage is designed to get at the tension and knots deep down in your muscles. Strokes are strong and slow. It is designed to give you good results, not a good experience while it is occurring.

A deep tissue massage is not for the light hearted. You are going to groan and whimper. It takes serious pressure to get at the tension and knots in your deep muscles. There is a great payoff however. You will feel like a million bucks once it is done.

Moving beyond the traditional massage on the flat of your stomach pose, we come to the Thai massage. The goal is to align your energy points. This is accomplished by force yoga, to wit, the therapist will bend and twist you this way and that.
