WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF MASSAGE THERAPY
SWEDISH MASSAGE
A Swedish massage is the classic go-to for major relaxation and is a typically a full-body massage that uses a gentle touch. Swedish Massage is a good pick for people new to massages.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage gets into your muscles and tendons to release that tightness. It is good for people with injuries, general muscle tightness and chronic muscle pain.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports massages are similar to deep-tissue massages, but they zero in on the muscles that take a beating when you play sports or do another repetitive physical activity.
TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE
A knot in your neck or a tight spot in your back is known as a trigger point. In a trigger-point massage, the massage therapist uses focused and direct pressure to target those spots. This type of massage can also be helpful for people with chronic pain and increases blood flow to the areas, helping them release.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massages are great for helping moms-to-be relax and can help address the aches and pains of growing a baby.
PATIENT TESTIMONIAL ON MASSAGE THERAPY TREATMENT
"DR. ANNE IS GREAT!
LOOKING FORWARD TO MY NEXT SESSION"
Strained my hamstrings sup paddling on Sunday, and I was in some pain.
After my first treatment with her the excruciating pain is now at a bearable level, and It's much easier to walk.

HISTORY OF MASSAGE THERAPY
The use of massage has been recorded in China from 3000 BC. The Ancient Chinese called their technique ‘amma’ and used specific movements on particular points of the body. It was used for the promotion and restoration of health as well as for relaxation.
Modern massage is based on techniques developed by Per Henrick Ling (1776-1839). He was from Sweden and massage is still referred to as Swedish massage due to his influence.
