Swedish massage is the most common type of massage and is all about relaxation and simply feeling good!  This is the best choice for after a long stressful week at the office, relaxing on vacation, or for those new to massage.  Long gentle gliding strokes with light to medium pressure are used with the goal of relaxing the entire body.  Benefits include increased circulation and blood flow, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.

Therapeutic massage can be thought of as a combination of a Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, also relaxing but starting to get into some deeper work on specific areas of the body.  This is a good choice if you regularly get massages or you are experiencing discomfort or tension in specific areas.    Benefits include increased circulation and blood flow, relief of pain or discomfort, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.
