Deep-tissue massage is a specific type of massage therapy that concentrates on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body. By using deep pressure and slow, firm strokes, deep tissue massage is used to treat a variety of physical ailments.

Deep-tissue massage helps ease stress and tension, which can have a beneficial effect on blood pressure. People who had a deep-tissue massage saw their systolic pressure drop by an average of 10.4 mm Hg and their diastolic pressure drop an average 5.3 mm Hg, according to a study cited by the University of Maryland Medical Center. Deep-tissue massage can help increase the body’s production of serotonin, the hormone that promotes happiness and good feelings.

Lymph Drainage Massage is an advanced form of massage that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system to remove congestion and stagnation from within the body, and so help it return to a healthy condition. LDM utilizes gentle massage strokes that remove blockages and promotes proper lymph flow. This is important because it is the primary function of the lymph system to defend the body against disease by cleansing, detoxifying and nourishing the body’s tissues. Thus, when the lymph system is blocked, toxins and plasma may accumulate causing interference with cell nourishment and depressing the immune system.

Lymph Drainage Massage is extremely beneficial as a pre/post-surgery treatment as it can dramatically decrease recovery time. It is the best natural way to eliminate swelling in any area of the body including many cosmetology aspects, edema, swelling from dental work, and organ draining (detox). This is also one of the best modalities to help athletes perform better in competitions.

Swedish massage is the modality that comes to mind when most people think of massage. As the most common type of massage performed in the US, one of the primary goals of this technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by using moderate pressure with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage, however, goes beyond relaxation. It is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins and stress, improving circulation and flexibility all while easing muscle tension.

A study conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and published in The New York Times, found that volunteers who received at least 45-minutes of Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Volunteers also had increases in the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system.
