You do not need to be a sports performer to benefit from a Sports or Deep Tissue Massage. The benefits above can also help relieve the many day to day problems that everyone experiences, such as repetitive strain injuries, sprains, tension and fatigue.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle form of massage used to relieve inflammation related to lymphedema. Lymphedema is a common side effect of many health conditions. It’s also common among people recovering from cancer treatments, most notably, breast cancer surgery because surgeons remove several lymph nodes during the procedure.
Typically, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of vessels and nodes. When something disrupts this process, lymph collects in your arms, legs, ankles or other parts of your body, making them swell.
Lymphatic drainage techniques aim to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling.
Relaxation Massage
A relaxation massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on calming the body and mind. It is a gentle, soothing massage that incorporates a variety of techniques, including gentle strokes, kneading, and light, rhythmic tapping. It is often used to reduce stress and tension, boost mood, and promote general relaxation
