Massage and Bodywork Modalities
Swedish / Deep Tissue Massage
A selective Blend of relaxation techniques such as effleurage (stroking), kneading, vibration, and tapotment (cupping or clapping of hands) applied to the entire body. This creates a connection throughout the body, and ultimately results in a mental relaxation and physical muscle release.
Myofascial Release

Vedic Thai Massage
