Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most commonly
offered and best known type of massage. It was developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of
Stockholm in 1812. It uses a firm but gentle pressue to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility
and create relaxation.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called
connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure
will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle
tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")

Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that is based in traditional Chinese medicine.
The word "shiatsu" means "finger pressure". This translation describes its main technique, which involves
putting pressure on specific spots on an energy channel (called a meridian in Chinese medicine) to help improve the flow of
energy through that channel. Some of the problems that shiatsu can be used to treat are headaches, back pain, insomnia, constipation
and many stress-related complaints. To receive a shiatsu treatment you lie on a futon or a mat on the floor. You will not
get undressed for the treatment, but please wear loose and comfortable clothing; it will help some of the techniques - for
example, stretching - go more smoothly. The points that are pressed are the same ones used in acupuncture, except that shiatsu
does not use needles. Benefits include; deep relaxation, stress relief, more muscular flexibility and increased energy and
stamina. It also balances all the body's systems - muscular, nervous, skeletal, circulatory, digestive, endocrine
and others - which means its effects can be more comprehensive and last longer.
