Masage Styles
Before you can decide which massage style is best for you, you need to ask yourself if you simply want a massage for relaxation and stress control, or do you need symptom relief or help with a certain healthcondition? Before your massage begins, let the therapist know what you’re looking for and ask which style the therapist uses. Many use more than one style. The therapist may customize your massage, depending on your age, condition, or any special needs or goals you have.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is one of the most widely practiced massage techniques in the Western world. It’s what many people think of a classic massage, where you lie on a massage table and receive a hands-on, tension-releasing treatment.
Research has shown Swedish massage can lower blood pressure, improve mood disorders, help with pain reduction, and reduce symptoms of general anxiety disorder (GAD).
Connective Tissue Massage
Connective tissue massge is a massage technique dealing with superficial connective and subcutaneous tissues that are used for aiding the diagnosis and treatment of different pathologies.
The principles of CTM are based on the notion that “dysfunction of an internal organ” can be diagnosed by “the increased tone of superficial muscles, especially of the back”, and “a changed character of interstitial fluid in the subsutaneous tissues” along with “hypensensitivity to touch.”
Polarity Neuromuscular Massage
Contact may be light, medium or firm. In the session, the therapist helps the client in a growing self-awareness of faint energetic sensations, which are often the feeling of warmth, tingles or even wavelike movement. Because polarity therapy is based on the unique needs of the patient at the time, no two sessions are exactly alike. During a polarity therapy session the patient will often reach a state of deep relaxation.
Sports Massage
From serious athletes to weekend warriors, adding elements of sports massage to your next session can enhance flexibility, help you recover from competition, and help prevent injuries from occurring. If you have a sports-related ache or injury or are looking to take your game to the next level, speak to your massage therapist about including sports massage techniques in your next visit.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy massage is used for a variety of different reasons, including relaxation, pain management, and improved mood. These are also some of the basic benefits of massage therapy. Adding essential oils is thought to enhance such benefits.
