Swedish Massage

Generally regarded as the most common form of massage - Swedish massage involves a combination of five basic strokes and concentrates on the muscles and connective tissues of the body for improved circulation, relaxation, pain relief, and overall health maintenance and well-being.
It became popular in the west during the 19th century through the influence of the Swede, Pir Henrik Ling.
It is one of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques.
Swedish massage is a system of treatment, designed to energise the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive and tapping movements, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin.
The many benefits of Swedish massage may include relaxation, breakdown of scar tissue adhesions and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury. Swedish massage traditionally takes place on a massage couch.

Thai Massage

Practiced in Thailand for over 2,000 years, Thai massage - also known as yoga massage, Thai yoga massage and ancient massage - works to clear energy blockages and restore balance and harmony to the body.
The practice combines typical Westernized massage therapy practices, including myofascial release and trigger point therapy, with light stretching similar to that of yoga.
It has even earned the name "lazy man's yoga." Like yoga, Thai massage helps to strengthen the body and increase flexibility, while allowing the client to benefit from the relaxation and healing properties of massage.

Lomi Lomi Massage

Lomi Lomi literally translated means "rub." It is a form of Hawaiian bodywork that developed out of the Hawaiian philosophy of Huna; that is, a belief in harmony and balance in all areas of physical and emotional health.
Practioners work intuitively with clients using their hands, elbows, and forearms to apply long, gliding strokes, rhythmic movements, and pressure. This technique is very nurturing; practitioners acknowledge that love and a pure heart is important to the process, and sometimes the session will begin with a chant or prayer.
Sometimes more than one practioner will work on different parts of a client at the same time to facilitate a feeling of wholeness -- a main component of the practice.
