Massage

Sports massage is specifically designed for people who are involved in physical activity. But you don't have to be a professional athlete to have one-it's also used by people who are active and work out often. The focus isn't on relaxation but on preventing and treating injury and enhancing athletic performance.A combination of techniques are used. The strokes are generally faster than Swedish massage. Facilitated stretching is a common technique. It helps to loosen muscles and increase flexibility.

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese body work that uses localized finger pressure in a rhythmic sequence on acupuncture meridians.Each point is held for two to eight seconds to improve the flow of energy and help the body regain balance.People are normally pleasantly surprised when they try shiatsu for the first time. It is relaxing yet the pressure is firm, and there is usually no soreness afterward.

Like shiatsu and Thai massage, it aligns the energies of the body using gentle pressure on specific points. Zen Yoga massage also includes compressions and stretches.You don't just lie there--the therapist moves and stretches you into a sequence of postures. It's like yoga without doing any work. Zen Yoga massage is more energizing than other forms of massage. It also reduces stress and improves flexibility and range of motion.

A modern refinement of ancient techniques. It is a barefoot massage technique using deep strokes from the therapist's feet. This treatment is highly effective for those who suffer from chronic neck and back pain or spinal issues, as well as for athletes and those who enjoy deep tissue massage. The pressure can be as light or as deep as you need it to be. This results in compression of the soft tissue surrounding the joints, which promotes mobilization, allowing the spine to resume its natural position.
