MASSAGE
Massage therapy involves structured touch, holding, pressure and manipulation of the soft tissues in the body to promote healing and a sense of well-being. There are different approaches to massage, all of which emphasize a personalized, one-on-one method of care that can be tailored to the needs of the individual. According to the Mayo Clinic, massage therapy is increasingly being used in conjunction with treatment for many conditions and circumstances. These benefits can range from reducing stress, increasing relaxation, and relieving pain, to lowering heart rate and enhancing the immune system.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
A therapeutic massage incorporates firm, focused movements to help address a specific problem, such as pain or tightness, by manipulating muscle tissue to promote structural changes within the body. Benefits may include improved range of motion, less pain and reduced swelling. This treatment can be a full-body or focus on specific areas of the body.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage uses a lot of the same techniques as a therapeutic massage, but uses more pressure. This treatment can be a full-body session or can focus on specific areas like the back, neck, hips or legs. This work is designed to release your deeper muscle layers and provide relief from tightness, exercise or old pain patterns while assessing the cause of your discomfort. As a result, muscle tension and toxins are released allowing blood and oxygen to circulate properly.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries. Sports massage has three basic forms: pre-event massage, post-event massage, and maintenance massage. Benefits from sports massage include; improves athletic performance, endurance, and mental focus, reduces injury recovery time, and prevents injuries, improves circulation while removing lactic acid buildup and cellular waste.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massage is customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly. Prenatal massage improves mood and lowers stress levels, helps with pregnancy depression and anxiety, lowers the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, and helps reduce swelling in legs. Getting a pregnancy massage can also put you in a more relaxed state of mind to help you cope with all the big changes that are going on.
