Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are used at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles and tissues that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The addition of heat has an analgesic effect for additional immediate pain relief. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Any massage modalities, Swedish, Deep Tissue, or Hot Stone, regardless of session duration, can be improved with the addition of pure Essential Oils. The varying oils will address additional concerns during the massage, such as anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia, headache, and numerous pains, injuries and even illnesses. Essential oils will be applied to the body via the oil or cream the therapist uses to deliver the massage.
