Swedish massage is a classic massage technique that involves long, gliding strokes, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage oil or lotion. It aims to promote relaxation, increase blood flow, and relieve muscle tension.

Benefits: Swedish massage can help reduce stress, improve circulation, alleviate muscle stiffness, and promote overall relaxation.

Sports massage is targeted towards athletes and individuals engaged in regular physical activity. It typically involves a combination of techniques including deep tissue massage, stretching, and joint mobilization. The focus is on addressing muscle imbalances, enhancing athletic performance, and aiding in recovery from sports-related injuries.

Benefits: Sports massage can help improve flexibility, prevent injuries, reduce muscle soreness, promote faster recovery between workouts, and enhance overall athletic performance.

Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions (knots). Deep tissue massage can be intense and may cause some discomfort during the session, but it can provide significant relief from chronic pain and muscle tightness.

Benefits: Deep tissue massage can help relieve chronic muscle tension, reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, alleviate pain from injuries, and promote better posture.

Trigger point massage focuses on specific areas of muscle tightness and hypersensitivity known as trigger points. These trigger points are often painful and can refer to other parts of the body. The massage therapist applies sustained pressure to these points to release tension and alleviate pain.

Benefits: Trigger point massage can help reduce muscle pain, improve flexibility, address referred pain patterns, and enhance overall muscle function.

Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps to mobilize blood flow and promote healing by drawing out toxins, reducing inflammation, and relieving muscle tension. Cupping can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other massage techniques.

Benefits: Cupping therapy can help alleviate muscle soreness, improve circulation, promote relaxation, boost immune function, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
