This is a specialized massage for the individual who wants a targeted treatment. Whether it is your neck, shoulders, or low back, this massage will work the area of focus and help relieve any pain or pressure. Swedish massage is beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. The light to medium pressure promotes relation and helps relieve stress and pain.
Deep Tissue is like the Swedish massage, but the technique focuses on the deepest layer of muscles to target knots and release chronic muscle tension.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to improve health, emotional wellbeing and restore balance to the body.
This massage helps boost the immune system, improves blood circulation and reduces inflammation around the joints. Prenatal massage is customized to the needs of the expecting mother and helps relieve any pain or swollen areas on the body. This type of massage aids the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which keeps blood flowing to both the mother and the baby.
While both deep tissue massage and Swedish massage involve manipulating the muscles to promote relaxation and relieve tension, deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and focuses on targeting specific areas of chronic pain or tension, whereas Swedish massage uses lighter pressure and involves longer, flowing strokes to induce relaxation. Deep tissue massage can be beneficial for various conditions, including chronic muscle tension, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, fibromyalgia, postural problems, and limited mobility.
It can also help alleviate symptoms of conditions like arthritis and sciatica. The frequency of deep tissue massage depends on individual needs and goals. Some people may benefit from regular sessions, such as once a week or every other week, to manage chronic pain or tension, while others may find occasional sessions or as-needed treatments sufficient.
