MASSAGE THERAPY IN CENTERVILLE OHIO

Swedish Massage-also known as relaxation massage and is one of the most common types of massage. Therapists combine long flowing strokes along with gentle kneading and circular movements on the outer layer of the skin and muscles. This is ideal if you want to relax, haven’t had a massage for a long time, or are new to receiving massage.

Deep Tissue Massage -uses a combination of relaxation strokes, kneading and percussion to address deeper layers of muscle as well as connective tissue. This type is beneficial for anyone who suffers from tight or over strained muscles, posture issues or those recovering from an injury by loosening knots in the muscles and breaking up adhesions that may have formed in the muscles and tissue surrounding them. Many are afraid to receive deep tissue because they think it will hurt. Pain may occur occasionally but good communication with your therapist will allow them to adjust the pressure making it more tolerable while still being effective and providing overall relaxing massage.

Sports massage- is typically designed for physically active individuals. This modality is promising for professional athletes who exercise frequently or those whose job requires a lot of activity, such as construction workers. It combines relaxation, deep tissue, and facilitated stretching to loosen muscles, break up adhesions, and allow for greater flexibility with less pain.

30-minute massage-done on the massage table; this massage is used to focus on problem areas only. It combines relaxation, deep tissue, and sports modalities to target specific areas such as a sore or stiff back, headache, neck pain, or any other site causing limitations.
