Swedish Massage or Western Massage: This is one of the most popular relaxation therapies in the Western world. Its main objective is to induce a state of deep relaxation and, at the same time, treat various muscular conditions of different origins, such as those caused by bad postures, excessive stress, or other complications. The manipulations and intensity of application will be determined by the specific needs of the patient. Swedish massage promotes a renewal sensation, which supports the body's natural healing and balance process. It is a comprehensive treatment that uses various manipulations. The therapist will partially uncover the areas of the body to be treated, always having absolute respect for the patient's comfort. Oils and special creams will be used to facilitate massage techniques and improve skin characteristics. Essential oils can be added to treat various conditions, such as anxiety, lack of concentration, and emotional balance.
Deep tissue massage is a modality derived from Swedish massage but focused on working the deep muscles, tendons, and ligaments (in lesser amounts). The pressure will be more intense and perhaps longer to break adhesions between muscles and release lactic acid and waste chemicals trapped between the muscle fibers. These are some of the causes of trigger point development. It is also a more individualized type of massage, as the therapist will work specifically on chronic areas of tension, muscle tension, and contractures. Deep tissue massage increases the range of muscle stretching capabilities and joint mobility. It is a technique that reduces muscle tension. The deep layers of the tissues are worked on, as well as the causes of muscular conditions related to tension and overuse, such as chronic pain in the neck, head, shoulders, and problems with the mid and lower back. The pace of work is slower and meticulous.

Is 60 minutes too long? Only your back, shoulders, or neck are tense or tender? Share your session with someone and split a 90-minute session, so it is focused only on your problematic areas for 45 minutes each
