Expectations of a One-Hour Massage

Your massage therapist will begin by asking you to complete an informational form. Next you will be asked a series of questions on topics such as stress-level, areas of discomfort, pain, your reasons for getting a massage, relevant medical history and current physical condition.

Your environment will be stess-free. Your massage experience is also reliant on relaxing music, low lighting and a comfortable room temperature. This will be enhanced on the highest level by therapeutic touch.

Your therapist will provide the music and advice on how to improve the ambience.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage uses an invigorating technique to detect stiff or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature then slowly working into the deep layers of muscle tissue.

Specific hand positions and strokes are then used to respond to the tissue qualities. Techniques employing breath and movement are also used for releasing muscular congestion and relaxing muscle tissue.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage was developed in the 1700's by a Swedish doctor named Pir Henrik Ling. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.

The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.

Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable.

Full body massages are great within a variety of locations. Common areas include:

  • homes
  • hotels
  • day spas
  • country clubs
  • specialty offices
  • social gatherings
  • weddings
  • staff appreciation days

We are more than willing to help you incorporate massage into your business or social life.
