Relaxation Massage is a lighter treatment, usually includes back, arms, and legs. It is meant for helping you to unwind, lower muscle tension, help alleviate anxiety and depression, improve sleep, increase circulation, lower pain, improve immune system function, and increase parasympathetic nervous system actions.

Can include Swedish massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. For deeper tissue, slow, firm and deep pressure, often with sustained pressure on tight areas or trigger points.

Deep Tissue Therapeutic Massage This treatment is focused on relieving chronic muscle tension, reducing stress, and addressing specific physical conditions or areas of discomfort. It targets the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue (fascia) using slow, firm, and sustained pressure especially over areas of tightness or trigger points. Techniques may include elements of Swedish massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Deep Tissue massage is generally more intense than relaxation-focused styles, as it works into the deeper structures of the body to support long-term relief and improved mobility. You may experience some post-massage soreness as your body responds to the deeper work and begins the healing process.
