Types of Massage Therapies Offered at the Massage Wellness Center

Therapeutic massage is the manipulation of the muscles and tissues of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, and stress. There are many styles and types of Therapeutic massage to include:

Swedish: This is the most well known of all massage therapies, and depending on the Therapist giving the session, it ca be deep or moderately deep. Swedish massage is a full-body session designed to stimulate circulation and provide an overall relaxing and stress relieving experience.

Deep Tissue: This massage session is very similar to a Swedish Massage Session, with the difference of applying slower and deeper pressure strokes to assist in alleviating more chronic patterns of tension within the body.

Sports: Focuses on protocols designed specifically for individual sports. Techniques provide warm-up and cool down for pre and post event and can reduce injuries, alleviate inflammation and decrease recovery time for amateur and professional athletes.

Reflexology: Based on a 5,000-year-old healing system from China, these techniques address reflex points on the feet, which have energetic correlation to various parts of the body.

Neuromuscular Therapy: NMT utilizes specific massage therapy, to eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns. 

Myofascial Release: works on the principle of gentle pressures, gentle stretches, and long holds that achieve releases. The releases are a loosening and softening of very tight and painful tissues.
