Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage is a deep muscle massage that uses persistent and slow pressure reaching the deepest parts of muscle, tendon, and fascia. The goal of this technique is to release tightness and tension from connecting tissues and joints.

Therapeutic or Pre-Natal
The goal of therapeutic massage is to relieve joint pain and muscle tenderness. It usually is area-focused. Through improving circulation, this type of massage promotes healing.
Pre-natal massage is similar to Swedish massage, but with some modifications to ensure the safety and comfort of mom and baby. During pre-natal massage, gentle manipulation is used to promote circulation, ease back, belly, and leg pain.
Hot Stone
This therapy uses smooth, heated stones to radiate warmth and relaxation through the muscles. Hot stones are placed at acupressure points to promote relaxation and relieve tension.
Lymphatic or Cupping
Lymphatic massage aims to promote function of the lymphatic system, one of the ways the body moves waste material. Where the smaller lymphatic vessel meet up are the lymph nodes. These channel the lymphatic fluid back to the bloodstream. Focusing on these lymph nodes promotes removal of toxins from the body, promoting an overall sense of well-being.
This style of massage uses soft pressure on lymphatic points and stretching techniques.
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses vacuum to promote circulation to specific areas. The vacuum pulls blood to specific areas, stimulating metabolic activity and improving immune function. It’s also theorized to improve blood biochemistry.
Sports
This type of massage is requested by athletes and combines attributes of Swedish and deep tissue massage to relax and promote healing and generation of new muscle tissue through circulation improvement.
