Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to relax muscles and decrease muscle tension. Swedish massage helps widen blood vessels to increase blood flow and promote the release of toxins from muscles. It is recommended for those that have never gotten a massage.
Deep Tissue massage focuses on adjusting and realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is helpful for those that have chronic neck stiffness and back pain. Compared to the Swedish massage, the pressure is generally more intense but it should not hurt.
Prenatal massages are for expecting mothers that may just want to relax or have back pain from the pregnancy. The massage also uses gentle pressures to relieve muscle tightness and tension. Instead of laying supine for this massage, special pillows are used for support while expecting mothers lay on their sides.
Energy healing (Qigong) has potential to improve every aspect of our being from fighting addictions, healing trauma, balancing emotions and spirit. Energy is the subtle electricity which circulates in our environment as well as in our body. Poor blood circulation usually causes energy stagnation in the body. The therapist directs this electricity via their own physical body, applying treatment on the receiver to unblock energy stagnations on skin, muscles, blood vessel, energy meridians and even down to cellular level.
