Trigger Point Therapy
This massage focuses on the myofascial release of trigger points. Trigger point therapy may help those experiencing but not limited to: Sciatica Carpal tunnel syndrome Medial and lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow, respectively) Whiplash Osteoarthritis Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) Headaches and migraines Neck pain Back pain Thoracic outlet syndrome Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder Trigger point: Muscle fibers that are tight that cause radiating pain (a knot that radiates pain).
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage targets chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body’s surface. Deep muscle techniques involve slow strokes, direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle grain. Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as: chronic pain, limited mobility, recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury), repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis pain, fibromyalgia, and muscle spasms.
Swedish Massage
This massage uses a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.
