A relaxation massage is perfect for people who don’t like deep massages, and just want something gentle to help them relax, de-stress and improve their mood.
While deep tissue massage is not a relaxing massage, it is effective for pain management and injury rehabilitation. One of the main aims of deep tissue massage is to break up any adhesions between fascia and muscles because they restrict mobility and cause pain. This will improve range of motion, and decrease pain.
Hot Stone is a massage therapy that involves the placement of smooth, heated stones on specific points of your body while giving the massage. The heat and weight of the stones warms and relaxes the muscles. this allows the therapist to apply more pressure to those areas without causing you discomfort.
