Therapeutic
Therapeutic massage restores balance, and brings the body back to normal by triggering the relaxation response. Massage can also relieve many mental and physical problems caused by prolonged stress. Stress accumulates over time and leads to chronic tension and anxiety, feelings of being "stressed-out", and a modern problem called "hurry sickness".
Swedish
A Swedish Massage is one of the most basic techniques. The focus of Swedish massage is general relaxation, stimulation of circulation, enhancing muscle tone and is also therapeutic in reducing muscle tightness. A good Swedish massage therapist will know how to apply the basic techniques to most any condition, injury or situation.

Hot Stone
Hot Stone Massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
Myofascial Release
MFR is the release of the muscle and tissue which are shaped by the body's history, resulting in the body's current posture, function, and dysfunctions. Muscle and fascia are pliable; both can be stretched to give new shape, mobility, and function to the body. Myofascial Release (MFR) is the process of manually stretching muscle and fascia.
