Deep tissue massage aims to relieve tension in the deep layers of tissue in the body. It is an effective method for releasing chronic muscular tensin ad reducing pain. Open communication during the session is encouraged between client and therapist so that the client's comfort is insured. Swedish massage is very relaxing using various strokes, such as, effleurage, petrissage and friction along with assisted movements of the joints.

Pressure can range from light to medium. Ashiatsu massage is from the root words "ashi" meaning foot and "atsu" meaning pressure. This barefoot massage technique uses smooth, fluid strokes that glide over the body. Utilizing overhead parallel bars for support, balance and leverage, the therapist uses bodyweight and gravity to apply pressure through their barefeet.
