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. Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy. Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue.
It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain. Basalt river rocks, hand harvested from the coast of northern Maine, simmering, in warm water, fragrant with aromatherapy, are gently placed on your body to enable the heat to penetrate deep into the muscles while wonderfully massaged over the skin.
A hot rock massage is a deeply grounding and nurturing experience. Trigger point is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. The recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort. The result of using trigger points is the elimination of toxins and relaxation in the muscles followed by a significant decrease in pain often found after just one treatment.
Try something new! This exotic fusion of massage and bamboo is a luxurious and revitalizing experience. Warmed bamboo of various sizes is used to massage your muscles, using light and deep strokes to loosen tension. The addition of heat helps relieve stress carried deep in muscles. Nourishing oils applied to the skin help soften and soothe. This massage helps promote circulation and provides a deep sense of relaxation and well-being and revitalizes your soul.
