• kneading
• long, flowing strokes in the direction of the heart

Sometimes, areas of tightness in the muscle tissues can cause pain in other parts of the body. By focusing on relieving trigger points and tightness, this type of massage can reduce pain.

Therapeutic massage uses alternating levels of pressure and modalities to alleviate tension.

The massage will include work on your entire body, though your therapist will focus on specific areas that need to be released.

Prenatal massage: can be a safe way for women to get a massage during pregnancy. It can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension.

Prenatal massage uses mild pressure similar to Swedish massage. The therapist will focus on areas such as your lower back, hips, and legs. You can be fully or partially undressed, depending on your comfort level.

During the massage, you’ll either lie on your side or on a specially designed bolster with a cutout for your belly.
