Breaktime Massage

Therapeutic massage is a general term that describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and increases blood flow. People tend to assume therapeutic massage means deep tissue massage, but this is not always the case. A good therapist will apply the specific techniques and the right amount of pressure to address your need, and sometimes that’s a lighter touch.

Deep tissue massage involves using more pressure to the deeper layers of muscle tissue and fascia in the body. Chronic pain and tension can cause knots in theses muscles and can hinder blood flow. Using more pressure the therapist can break up these knots and adhesions and can lead to a looser more relaxed body.

Reflexology involves applying pressure to reflex points on the hands and feet that are connected to specific organs and other body parts through energy channels. This pressure is used to unblock these channels in order to promote better health throughout the body and a feeling of relaxation.
