Soft tissue massage

Soft tissue massage

Soft tissue massage focuses on joints and soft tissue to reduce muscle tension and pain. It involves stretching the muscle fibers to promote circulation, increase flexibility, alleviate pain, and decrease tension

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage

After extensive or repetitive use of muscles, the fibers can become damaged and toxins can accumulate. This inflammation of muscles in the deep layers of the body can cause pain, discomfort, and stiffness. Deep tissue massage targets these issues by applying pressure (known as stripping) using the elbows or hands, and also by using the fingers to apply pressure onto individual fibers to ease tension.

Whole body massage

A relaxing whole body massage such as Swedish massage can be used in sports massage therapy to treat athletes in between games as a therapeutic aid to calm the body and mind. These types of massage typically include effleurage and strokes to boost relaxation.
