More people are turning to Massage Therapy while searching for a method to help deal with the stress of daily life, maintain good health, or seek relief for a medical condition. Massage therapy is the manipulation of the body's soft tissue for relaxation, invigoration, and therapeutic purposes. Muscles that are constantly stressed often become stiff, sore and susceptible to injury. Massage promotes efficient muscle activity, helps in injury prevention and aids the recuperation of strains and sprains.

Whether seeking relief for a medical condition, searching for a method to deal with daily stress, or a desire to maintain good health, more people are benefiting from therapeutic massage.

There are many varieties of massage techniques with the most popular being Swedish, Sports and Deep Tissue Massage.

Swedish Massage
The Swedish technique utilizes a system of long, superficial strokes promoting relaxation and increased blood flow.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is performed with short, deeper strokes for the release of trigger points and restricted soft tissue.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a specialization of Swedish massage that aids the body to achieve maximum physical performance. Before physical activity it protects against pain and injuries while boosting performance. After physical exertion it helps remove lactic acid, restore normal muscle tone and range of motion.

All techniques are invigorating and are effective for reducing muscle tension from both mental and physical stress. Massage therapists may utilize heat and cold treatments in conjunction with massage techniques. Light exercise may also be incorporated to improve muscle tone and flexibility.
