Deep tissue massage - What is it? Deep tissue targets chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body's surface. Deep muscle techniques involve slow strokes, direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle.
Benefits: It works out the knots from stressed, overworked muscles and connective tissue (fascia) to alleviate immediate pain, as well as chronic joint and muscle pain. Deep tissue also promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. It can also break up scar tissue.
Swedish massage — What to expect. This is the most well-known and widely practiced type of therapeutic massage. This type of massage
focuses on muscle relaxation, targeting superficial muscles (rather than the connective tissues targeted in deep-tissue massage) and increasing blood circulation.

range of motion and flexibility.

Reflexology —What is it? A system of massage used to relieve tension, based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, and
head linked to every part of the body. A reflexology session seems to break up deposits (felt as a gritty area under the skin) which may interfere with this natural flow of the body's energy.
Benefits: It helps with relaxation, increased blood circulation in your body, eliminating toxins, boosting your metabolism & energy level, reducing headaches, relieving discomfort from menstruation & pregnancy.
Athletic Stretching— What to expect? The therapist will move your body for you into postures that stretch specific muscle groups.

Benefits: Easing pain associated with tightness and tension, Improving range of motion, flexibility, mobility and strength, Increasing overall fitness and athletic performance, Reducing the risk of injury, Encouraging relaxation and relieving stress, Increasing circulation and blood flow to the muscles, surrounding tissues and joints.
Cupping— How does it work? During a cupping session the Therapist starts by placing cups (made of glass, plastic, bamboo or ceramic) on the skin to create suction. Cups can be placed on the back, shoulders, stomach, legs or any muscle group where it's easy to attach the cups.
Benefits: Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue
