Relaxation 

Sometimes we just need to exhale and let our body's rest and recover. I am personally a huge advocate that a massage should be relaxing, so that you can activate your parasympathetic nervous system (aka Rest and Digest mode). This is when your body can focus on healing itself and get a break from being in stress response. We release a hormone called cortisol when we are stressed, which can have negative impacts on the body and lead to many different health issues/disease. Mental and physical stress take their toll, prioritize your health by booking a relaxation massage!

Therapeutic

A therapeutic massage is going to be more targeted to a specific injury or area of concern. We might do some assessment before and after the massage, and it will include more focused and deeper techniques. There is usually some discomfort involved and it's normal to be a bit sore post massage. This is a great massage to get relief from acute or chronic injuries that are in pain and need attention. Generally more than one treatment is required, (just as you can't go to the gym once to get the results you want) it usually takes some time to release areas of tension and disfunction.

Cupping

Cupping is an awesome tool to use during a massage to get even better results. When you are massaging an area you are compressing the tissue and breaking up scar tissue/adhesions, when you do cupping it creates the opposite effect. Cupping creates a suction that allows space between the layers of tissue. It is great for increased circulation and muscle recovery. I tend to use it quite often to compliment a relaxation or therapeutic treatment, however if you want cupping to be the main focus of our treatment we can definitely do that.*It is likely that cupping will leave some marks on your skin. Check out my FAQ's to learn more about these marks.*
