The most common type of massage is Swedish massage therapy. It involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles. This is also combined with movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish therapy can be both relaxing and energizing.  Swedish massage is typically a lighter pressure intended to relax and relieve tension and stress.  

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues . It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. 

 ** Be advised that deeper does not equal better.  Even though you may be able to tolerate a greater level of pain or discomfort,  that does not mean the muscles will not respond to a lesser pressure.  

Research shows that massage can reduce stress hormones in your body and relax and loosen your muscles. Prenatal massages are generally considered safe after the first trimester, as long as you get the green light from your practitioner and let your massage therapist know you’re pregnant.  A pregnancy bolster will be used during your massage, which will enable you to lie face down.  

Ultrasound Therapy uses sound waves to promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation and increase circulation.  The ultrasound waves relax the tissues, increase blood flow, which in turn relieves pain and helps speed up recovery.  Ultrasound has been shown to improve symptoms from tendonitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel, sprains and strains.  Ultrasound Therapy is applied with an ultrasound wand and a conductor gel and the treatment is applied to the area for 10 minutes.  10 minute therapy.

You may have heard of a TENS unit or Electric Muscle Stimulation. This therapy helps reduce both chronic and acute body pain. Electrodes are placed on the body surrounding the site of pain and the level of intensity is increased until the stimulation of the tissues is at a strong but comfortable level for the patient. Electrotherapy is a temporary pain receptor blocker and can help increase circulation, reduce spasms, and help relax tense muscles while providing pain relief. 10 minute therapy

Combination Therapy is a combination of ultrasound and electric muscle stimulation therapy. An electrode is used as a grounding lead and placed on a larger muscle group and the ultrasound wand and gel is used on the area of concern. When the ultrasound wand runs over an area of tight muscle fibers, the muscle stim contracts that muscle which helps to bring blood flow and oxygen to the area and speeds up the healing process. The ultrasound also helps in reducing inflammation. 10 minute therapy.
