Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue Massage improves the function of muscles and connective tissue. In general, the techniques involve slowly applying friction and pressure to specific muscles. This releases "knots" (muscle tension and adhesions), relieving acute and chronic patterns of tension and pain. Tense muscles are prone to reduced oxygen and nutrient flow, which can lead to restricted movement, pain, and tissue damage. Massage stimulates circulation and improves the range of motion in the spine and extremities, reducing injuries and promoting healing.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu, translated as "finger pressure," is a Japanese therapy incorporating acupressure, massage, and stretching. Traditionally, the client is fully clothed and receives treatment on a futon mat. Various techniques, such as pressing, squeezing, and rolling are applied with thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows, forearms, and feet. These techniques relieve pain, tension, and fatigue, enhancing health and vitality. When the body's energy flow is "blocked," areas may become painful or uncomfortable. Acupressure and massage restore the natural energy flow through these areas, reducing pain and promoting healing. Shiatsu techniques are generally slow and sustained, offering deep relaxation.
