Swedish, Deep Tissue, or Sports?  How to decide on which modality to book.

   When it comes to choosing the right type of massage for you.  you want to ask yourself these three questions.

1- How long ago was your last massage?

2- How flexible are you?

3- How active are you?

   If your last massage was more than six months ago you might want to book a Swedish or other relaxation massage because your body will have a hard time relaxing for deeper work and it will hurt longer than it has to.

   If you cannot raise your hands, rotate your neck or your hips without pain, you will need deep tissue massage or Myofascial Release to break up scar tissue and rid the muscles of lactic acid/toxin. In this case multiple sessions are needed for better result.

   If you have an active lifestyle for example: joggers, dancers, or even laborers, then you might want to book a few sessions of sports massage which is a combination of different modalities depending on pre-or-post-activity. That includes moist heat to promote blood flow and healing, passive and active stretches for improved range of motion.

No matter which massages your need, adding reflexology to your session will enhance your experience and help achieve your goal!
