Therapeutic Massage

Many times a therapeutic massage will incorporate elements of both Swedish and Deep
Tissue, and for active people Sports Massage, resulting in both relaxation and relief of
specific muscular tensions. No formula is used, but rather each treatment is customized for
you according to your unique needs the day of your appointment.

Swedish

Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It uses a
firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve
flexibility and create relaxation. The therapist generally uses massage oil to facilitate making
long, smooth strokes over the body. Swedish massage is done with the person covered by a
sheet, a technique called "draping". One part of the body uncovered, massaged, and then
covered up before moving on to another part of the body.
