SWEDISH MASSAGE
The Swedish massage is also referred to as traditional massage for relaxation and mainly uses moderate pressure on body muscles together with gliding long strokes directed to the heart.  Massage therapy continues to hold its place as one of the most effective, safe and natural ways to treat mental and physical ailments, such as stress, pain, anxiety and depression.  Here are a few of the benefits of a Swedish massage:

Pain Relief
One of the biggest reasons people get massages is to relieve pain. Whether it’s chronic pain from an illness or cramps from excessive exercising, massage therapy is the key to relieving pain in a holistic, noninvasive manner.  Massage therapy will help increase circulation, relax muscles, increase flexibility and posture and reduce recovery time, while easing stress that may be intensified from painful injuries.

Stress Relief
Stress affects everyone in one way or another, but if you’re like one of the millions of people who deal with it every day, you’ve got to manage it. One of the best ways to relieve stress and keep stress-hormone levels in control is to get a massage. Not only will you be overcome with relaxation and serenity during a massage, but you’ll also experience reduced pain and stress with every rub, stroke and knead on your achy muscles. Massage therapy also raises the body’s production and release of endorphins that enhance your mood and boost immunity. Reducing your stress levels will do wonders for your current mental and physical health, while preventing potential diseases or stress-related conditions.

Relaxes Muscles and Mind
Considering the amount of stressors that surround us every day, it can be difficult to allow our minds and bodies to fully relax. A Swedish massage is one of the easiest ways to achieve a relaxed state of mind because you are free of responsibilities and control. Massage therapy loosens and relaxes tense, overworked muscles by working out knots and pains that cause discomfort. In addition to relaxing your body, massage therapy calms your mind and allows you to reach a state of much-needed relaxation and serenity.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

The benefits of deep tissue massage go far beyond the luxurious sensations and relief of tired and sore muscles. In addition to soothing your stiff neck or aching back, deep tissue massage may improve postural alignment issues, increase blood flow to damaged tissue, decrease stress and even elevate your mood. After surgery or an injury, this form of therapy enhances healing and helps restore proper movement to muscles and joints.

Relief of Muscle Tension
The main purpose or function of deep tissue massage is to encourage the release of muscle spasm or tension. People who display chronic patterns of stress or tension that are being expressed in muscle pain are ideal candidates for deep tissue massage. The application of deep pressure along the grain of the muscle, using long stroking techniques, encourages the release of muscle tension or spasm.

Increased Blood Flow

In deep tissue massage, the massage therapist applies firm pressure to the affected muscles with fingertips, forearms, elbows and knuckles. This aggressive therapeutic approach results in increased blood flow to the tissue. In turn, the increased blood flow carries oxygen to the body, which enables the removal of toxins and promotes healing. This particular benefit is why many competitive athletes turn to this form of therapy after heavy training sessions.

Elimination of Scar Tissue
Another benefit of deep tissue massage is the positive effect it has on scar tissue. After a surgical procedure or perhaps after a sports injury, deep tissue massage therapy can help speed up recovery by breaking up scar tissue. With less scar tissue, the body returns to normal function quicker and joints experience greater range of motion.

Pain Relief
People who suffer from chronic pain with issues like fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome and even osteoporosis often find pain relief after deep tissue massage. The exerted pressure in the areas of inflammation increases blood flow, which can alleviate painful symptoms.

HOT STONE MASSAGE

A hot stone massage is one of the best ways to take a break and is seen by a lot of people not as a luxury but as a necessity to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you are not sure why, here are some of the top  benefits of hot stone massage:

1. A good way to manage stress. Studies show that stress is the number one root of a lot of diseases and disorders. Whether it's stress from work, home or daily activities, the result is the same: too much stress can lead to health problems. And because we can never run away from it, the only way to deal with it is to manage stress efficiently. A hot stone massage offers some relaxing time for your mind and does wonders in releasing muscular tension. Thus this is one of the best ways to relieve yourself of stress.

2. Effective in muscle relaxation. The heat in the stones is effective in enabling the muscles to loosen up and relax. This makes it easier for deep tissue manipulation.

3. Improves health conditions. More and more doctors are beginning to recommend this therapy as part of medical treatment of a lot of health problems such as Arthritis, Fibromylagia, Hypertension and musculoskeletal problems.

4. Relieves pain. Manipulation of muscles can significantly reduce muscle spasm and give comfort to painful muscles so those who suffer from back pains or muscle aches often go for this therapy.

5. Improves blood circulation and flow of energy. The stones are placed on key points of your body known as energy centers which are sometimes clogged or blocked.
