Deep tissue massage is best for giving attention to certain painful, stiff “trouble spots” in your body. The added pressure used in a deep tissue massage addresses the deeper layers of muscle with slow, deliberate strokes that are beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The slower speed and more concentrated pressure encourage the muscles, fascia, and tendons to relax and realign. This massage modality helps reduce pain, relieves muscle spasms, improves circulation, rehabilitates muscles, and increases range of motion.

Often referred to as the “relaxing massage,” the modality known as Swedish Massage is designed to de-stress clients. In addition, it offers therapeutic benefits such as relief of muscle tension and increased circulation to the areas worked. Nadia will ask your preferred pressure (somewhere between light and firm) with a range of long, flowing strokes. She may also use a combination of friction and kneading to address the more superficial layers of muscle tissue. The release of tension and revived muscles leave you both invigorated and relaxed.

Cupping was initially used exclusively in traditional Chinese medicine to increase blood flow to muscles, reduce muscle pain, relax the nervous system, break up chest congestion, increase energy flow throughout acupuncture points and enhance lymphatic flow. However, Cupping has grown in popularity in the West with the growth of Acupuncture over the past several decades. And today, Cupping is now used by massage therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other providers. Add Cupping to your session for an even deeper pain relief experience and recovery enhancement.

Medical Massage therapy can improve the general health and well-being of an individual. It is known to relieve the symptoms of a wide range of conditions, including the ability to reduce stress and anxiety, facilitate rehabilitation after injury, and address depression.

Medical Massage therapy should be seen as complementary to the work of your medical practitioner. Therefore, you should always get a medical diagnosis for any health problem before you use massage therapy for your medical condition. You should also tell your doctor if you are using complementary alternative therapies, including medical massage. Informing your doctor will help them to understand and track your progress and any improvements in your overall health.
