Some Services Available In All Massages

Below are three of the most used types of massage techniques listed and are incorporated in all sessions free of charge when needed and can be used in deep-tissue massage to assist in dealing with extremely tense muscle tissue. Each are used when needed and never just for spectacle. Please note these are not the only techniques used during sessions, but more of the commonly used.

Cupping

Cupping is a type of therapy used for for pain relief, muscle tension, inflammation, relaxation and primarily used for deep-tissue massage. It works by using vacuum-sealed cups on the skin, pulling up skin and muscle tissue in the process. While traditional massage is all about pushing down on muscle, cupping can do the exact opposite and release muscle tension not easily accessible through normal massage. Note: It can leave round skin discoloration or bruises where the cups have been that can last for several days.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a type of therapy that is used for skin care, blood flow and muscle tension. It can help reduce scar tissue on newer scars, release severe muscular tension and assist with blood flow. It works by using a smooth-edged tool to stroke downward over an entire musclar head, initially with light pressure and slowly increased  pressure with each stroke. Some regions often treated by Gua Sha are the neck, back, forearms, shoulders and calves. Note: Gua Sha can cause small, red dots underneath the skin that can last for several days.

Trigger Point

Trigger point therapy is used to focus on taut bands of muscle that are potentially causing local or referred pain and limited range of motion.
