Deep Tissue, Hot Stone and MFR
Therapeutic Massages such as Deep Tissue focus on muscles located below the surface of top (superficial) muscles. This type of massage is often recommended for those who have pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes) or who have sustained a physical injury.
In Hot Stone therapy the heat from the stones penetrate deep into the muscle tissue allowing the muscles to relax much quicker than in a regular Swedish massage. In turn, easing the muscles and increasing circulation. Excellent for sore muscles!
Myofascial Release (MFR) also called soft tissue mobilization, is used to release tension stored in the fascia. Fascia are sheets of fibrous tissue that encase and support muscles, separating them into groups and layers. Following trauma, the fascia and muscles may shorten restricting blood flow.
The techniques used in myofascial release relax
muscle tension and
break up fascial adhesions.
