Swedish massage is the most commonly offered massage technique, utilizing a firm pressure on the muscles. It involves a series of long yet gliding strokes. A Swedish massage may involve the use of various oils, especially essential oils, to reduce friction as well as for their aromatherapy benefits.
Swedish massage is given to increase blood circulation, easing the tension in the body’s muscles and improving the muscles’ flexibility. It stimulates the skin as well as the nervous system to soothe the nerves, reducing both emotional and physical stress. In fact the massage is a staple in most stress management programs. A Swedish massage is given to help with increasing the flow of oxygen in the blood, releasing toxins from the body’s muscles flushing the lactic acids, uric acids, and other type of metabolic wastes out of the body tissues. It can really shorten the recovery time for a muscular strain!!
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that aims at affecting the deeper tissue structure of the muscles. It also affects the connective tissue, known as fascia. Deep tissue massage helps with both small muscle injuries as well as chronic problems. Deep tissue massage is an excellent way to deal with a whiplash or sports injury, postural misalignment, treating spasms as well as muscle tension. During a deep tissue massage the therapist concentrates on releasing specific chronic muscle tension as well as the muscular knots, or adhesions.
Reflexology, also known as zone therapy or acupressure, dates back to ancient China and Egypt, and is documented in ancient medical texts as far back as 4000 B.C.E.. Similar to acupuncture’s potential benefits and methodology, reflexology uses pressure rather than needles to activate points and organs throughout the body to relieve pain, stimulate circulation, and bring balance to the bodily systems.

'Ayur' means science and 'Veda' means life. For over 5000 years Indian men, women and children have appreciated the benefits of Indian Head Massage (IHM). Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine that seeks to treat and integrate body mind and spirit using a holistic approach emphasizing diet, herbal remedies, exercise, meditation, breathing and physical therapies. IHM involves massaging the back neck and shoulders from a seated position usually or leaning over the couch for approximately 40mins and then massaging hot oil into hair and massaging the scalp face and head for approximately last 20 mins. A traditional Indian family would use hot coconut oil or sesame oil and these are the oils I use as well. Coconut oil is great hair and skin conditioner and smells lovely. sesame oil has many healing properties anti bacterial, anti inflammatory, anti-oxidant and full of Vitamin B complex. Both are full of nutrients for hair growth, lubricating and nourishing.
Potential Benefits of IHM:

The premise behind hot stone massage therapy is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers.
Hot stone massage is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years, and involves the use of flat, heated stones (basalt stones) that your massage therapist places on key spots across your body. These special areas are said to control your body’s energy flow and when recharged can help to rebalance body and soul.
There are quite a few benefits of hot stone massage, including the following:
