In Energetic Massage, the term ‘Energetic’ does not refer to the amount of energy used by the therapist during the massage, but to the action of treating the body on an ‘energetic’ level. This means addressing the mind, body and spirit as one in order to restore harmony. Pain and illness affect both the mind and body and therefore both need to be treated together. As well as a more conventional understanding of anatomy and physiology, the Energetic Massage Therapist is trained to identify tension and blockages in the body, and to help the person being massaged to relax using breathing techniques and the power of touch. Energetic Massage Therapy is suitable for both men and women, and can aid relaxation, reduce stress and tension, and relieve muscle pain. Because massage therapy stimulates the circulation of blood and lymph it also detoxifies the body and nourishes and improves the skin. The types of problems which can benefit from Energetic Massage Therapy include not only physical problems such as headaches, insomnia and joint or muscle pain and stiffness, but also emotional issues such as sadness, anger and frustration. A good massage therapist will always check that the person receiving the massage is comfortable with the amount of pressure being used. The parts of the body that are massaged include the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet. A full body massage usually takes at least an hour, after which the person receiving the treatment experiences a profound sense of relaxation and well-being.

Deep Tissue Massage targets the deep tissue structure of the fascia and muscles, referred to as connective tissue. Of the many types of massage, deep tissue focuses on the release of muscle tension and chronic knots. Deep tissue massage can break up and eliminate scar tissue from previous injuries. A common problem is that stressed muscles can block nutrients and oxygen from getting to where they need to go, and this will cause inflammation that allows toxins to build up in your muscle tissue.  The inflammation and toxins contribute to pain and stress. Deep Tissue Massage breaks up and releases the built-up toxins by loosening the muscles. With the toxins released, blood and oxygen can circulate as they should through one’s body. Being properly hydrated before you go to your massage appointment and drinking plenty of water after one of these massages is highly recommended. The strokes used in deep tissue massage are similar to those used in a Swedish Massage except more pressure is used and it uses cross grain strokes (strokes that go across the gain of the muscles instead of with the grain). As with a classic Swedish massage, you will be lying on a massage table and covered with a sheet or towel. A good way to recover from a Deep Tissue Massage is by soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salt. This soaking is recommended because it will help get more of the toxins out of your body (Epsom salt draws the toxins out into the water). Your muscles need some rest after one of these massages, even if you feel no soreness. So do not plan any activities within a day of a Deep Tissue Massage. Some people think that if you just push hard enough, a knot could be worked out in one session, but this is not the case. For built-up tension and chronic knots (adhesions) deep tissue massage is just one part of the treatment. 

A Holistic Facial Massage combines Acupressure, Facial Massage and Lymphatic Drainage Techniques. Acupressure reduces tension and encourages relaxation throughout the entire body through the stimulation of specific acupressure points on the face and scalp using ancient Chinese Medicine techniques. Using organic essential oils or creams, the massage of the face further encourages deep relaxation as well as increasing blood circulation, improving the tone, texture and health of skin and muscle tissue. The Treatment involves the face, neck, chest, shoulders and scalp. Organic essential oils are tailored to each individual’s needs. Alternatively, a simple organic facial massage cream can be used.

Deep tissue massage is effective because of its technique - consisting of slower, stronger massage that stimulates deep into muscles. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia. In many cases, a deep tissue massage has replaced the classic Swedish massage in terms of frequency of use. Whereas visitors to any spa around the country may have traditionally sought out a massage that simply relaxed, now they are seeking a massage that also stimulates, conditions, and heals.

Holistic massage is the traditional form of massage therapy where firm sliding strokes of the muscle tissues are interspersed with other techniques such as kneading, friction, and tapping in order to relax the muscle.  The impact of the relaxation of one part of the the body is seen as cruciale to the healing of another.  The body is taken as a whole and relaxation is valued as a key to healing.
