Types of Massage Offered
Swedish: a system of long strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on superficial layers of the muscles, combines with active and passive movements to the joints.
Deep Tissue: releases the chronic patters of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contacted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue because it also focuses on the deeper layer of muscle tissues.
