Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage uses a system of long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, percussive, and shaking motions or vibration techniques on the more superficial layers of muscles. Swedish Massage is intended to vibrate glands and organs as well as move lymph. It is primarily for full-body sessions and promotes general relaxation. It is effective for most ailments, because massaging the skin, the body's largest organ, sets up a chain reaction that produces a positive effect on all layers and systems of the body. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, and promotes health and well-being. Swedish Massage also relieves muscle tension, reduces anxiety, strengthens the immune system, improves blood circulation, detoxifies, balances the nervous system.   

Soft tissue therapy & Deep tissue massage

-Soft tissue therapy, treatment techniques include trigger point therapy, myofascial Release, friction for adhesions between fascia layers and muscles. Sustained finger pressure to alleviate hyper-tonic (tight) areas within muscle and fascia.
Active Release therapies, and deep tissue massage are all derivatives of soft tissue therapy.
-Deep muscle therapy was created by Therese Pfrimmer of Canada
 Works on the neuromuscular tissues to tune the body and mind.
The process of digestion, chemical reactions in the cells, mental and physical work all produce waste and toxic materials, which accumulate in the tissues. These byproducts remain in the tissues and hamper further nourishment of the component cells. They can also contribute to spasms in the muscles and nerves. This treatment cleans the waste and toxic materials through deep tissue manipulation. It frees up the system allowing for the smooth function of the body and mind and the efficient working of the tissues themselves. It also eliminates the spasm in the muscle and nerves to help alleviate chronic pain.
It is said to inhibit the aging process, overcome stress and fatigue, eradicate headache and back pain, promote strength and tone up the nervous and muscular systems by nourishing the body and mind.
Deep tissue massage is good for anyone interested in preventing illness and strengthening the immune system.

Beneficial effects

There are many beneficial effects of massage, including pain relief, stress reduction but also relief of many diseases.

Theories behind what massage might do, include blocking pain signals to the brain (gate control theory), activating the parasympathetic nervous system, stimulating the release of endorphins and serotonin, preventing fibrosis or scar tissue, increasing the flow of lymph, and improving sleep.

Pain relief

Massage helps to relieve pain from musculoskeletal injuries and other causes of pain. Massage diminishes pain in fibromyalgia patients, reduces chronic back pain and easing post-operative pain . Massage can also relieve tension headaches. Acupressure or pressure point massage may be more beneficial than classic Swedish massage in relieving back pain. When combined with exercises massage may help sub-acute, chronic, non-specific low back pain.

 *Testimonials  

  - Sofia is one of the most talented massage therapist I have ever had the joy to experience, there is nothing that she does not know or won't find out.  Sofia is very well read and is always studying a different technique in order to improve her port folio and offer her clients more care, she really has high standards for herself.   I have had deep tissue massage with Sofia and she really hits the spot. Often I have visited her in pain unable to move my neck and Sofia has really been able to help me.  Another massage technique Sofia uses is cellulite massage, this is by far my favorite, its the most amazing massage ever, after 3 treatments you feel like you are a different person, your legs don't feel heavy and horrible and you can see all the cellulite has come to the surface, after just about 4-5 treatments you can really notice a difference this massage is perfect to have a few weeks before you go on your summer holiday to get rid of the unsightly orange peel.   Along with really caring about her clients Sofia is a lovely warm person and I would recommend her to anyone
