Massage:

Swedish / Therapeutic massage:

The most common type of massage, to relax and energize you. This style utilizes long, flowing strokes, often in the direction of the heart. There are some basic strokes used: effleurage, petrissage, tapotment, compression, and vibration. Petrissage is a kneading movement with the whole palm or finger tips, using wringing, skin rolling, compression, and/or lifting. Petrissage is usually applied vertically to the muscle tissue. Oil is applied on the skin to reduce friction and allow smooth strokes. Effleurage consists of long, flowing or gliding strokes, performed with open hands. In many massage sessions, effleurage is the initial type of stroke, as it has a calming effect when performed slowly.

Deep tissue massage:

For muscle damage from an injury, such as whiplash or back strain, or accumulated tension over months or years of posture neglect and repetitive strain. Deep tissue massage is a technique that releases chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on contracted areas, either following or going across the grains of muscles, tendons and fascia.

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive technique, focusing on the body system including the skull, the entire spine, cerebrospinal fluid, and the spinal membranes. These are the surrounding tissues of the brain and central nervous system, which affect the entire body.

A therapist is trained to feel abnormalities in this system and its pulse and rhythm, and through gentle manipulation, unwinds constricted areas, and rebalances the system, allowing the body to self-correct and cerebrospinal fluid to regain a natural flow.
