Shiatsu, Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage

A number of different massage styles are combined to provide Greater Vancouver massage clients with the best results.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the deeper layers of the muscles and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff neck and shoulders, as well as lower back tightness. The movements are slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain by using direct pressure across the grain of the muscles. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal body movement.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of body work. It combines oils or lotions with an array of strokes, such as rolling, kneading and smooth long strokes with your palms or fingers to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of body work are wide ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance and greater flexibility.

Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is an old, traditional, Japanese healing method. Shiatsu means "finger pressure." But unlike the regular massages where kneading and friction is used, in shiatsu pressure and stretching is the key. Shiatsu uses palms, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, elbows, knees and the feet, to work on the body's acupuncture points, along what they consider the body's meridians or energy channels. It's a form of "touch communication," and is a safe and effective preventive medicine. Shiatsu helps to balance a person's energy flow, and strengthen the vital organs.
