and a lighter touch than other styles with the effect of achieving
improved circulation of blood and lymph and deep relaxation.
Deep Tissue
Deep
tissue massage stimulates, rejuvenates and energizes major muscle
groups to improve performance, flexibility and circulation.
Myofascial release
Fascia
is a continuous band of connective tissue that lies beneath the skin,
covering all muscles, tendons, ligaments and the internal organs. In
this type of massage, attention is given to that fascia attached to the
musculoskeletal system. Using gentle, but sustained pressure applied to
fascia which is bound, or restricted, can loosen up previously
restricted muscle movement and reduce or even eliminate pain.
What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues(the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone.Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves.Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.

The Effects Of Massage:
