Deep Tissue Massage
referred to as "adhesions," and specific problem areas located in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. By utilizing deliberate, slow strokes or friction applied against the muscle grain, the therapist targets chronic tightness or discomfort, as well as repetitive strain, postural issues, or injuries. While deep tissue massage typically involves more intense pressure compared to Swedish massage, it doesn't necessarily have to be painful to be effective. If you experience discomfort during the massage, it's important to communicate this to your therapist immediately. This type of massage is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic pain or persistent injuries that affect mobility. It can effectively treat repetitive stress injuries like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome, and may also help alleviate symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.

Aromatherapy Massage
An aromatherapy massage is a Swedish massage with scented plant oils (known as essential oils) added to the massage oil. Extracted from flowers and other plant parts, essential oils offer a pleasing scent and are believed to have healing properties. Lavender and rose, for instance, are known to promote relaxation. Although oils may be selected to address specific needs, the therapist typically uses pre-blended oils to relax, energize, or uplift. The soothing effects of aromatherapy massage can benefit a variety of conditions, including headaches, insomnia, certain digestive disorders, back pain, and even premenstrual symptoms. Before receiving an aromatherapy massage, make sure you’re not allergic to any of the plants used in the oils, since they may cause a reaction on the skin.

Combination Chinese Oil
Extremely popular with customers, a combination of stretching and massage gives you the best of both worlds. Starting with a Thai Yoga massage followed by a choice of oil massage, this service includes gentle stretching and massage in combination to relieve stress and tiredness. *Due to time limitation, for massage session of 60-minute or less, oil is applied only to the back.

Sports Massage
Designed to prevent and treat injuries, improve flexibility, and enhance athletic performance, sports massage can be used by athletes of all abilities to prepare for or recover from athletic or sports events. Even if you aren’t an athlete, sports massage may help muscle pain or restricted range of motion. The idea behind sports massage is to manipulate the body’s soft tissues, and focus on certain muscle groups depending on which sport the athlete plays. This type of massage can help with increased blood flow, increased range of motion, and increased flexibility. In sports massage, the strokes are generally faster than a typical Swedish massage. The therapist may also include compression, pressure point therapy, friction, and joint mobilization.
