Massage therapy involves techniques to press, knead, and manipulate muscles and soft tissues to relieve tension, reduce pain, and promote relaxation and well-being.

Common types of massage therapy include:

• Swedish massage: Focused on relaxation and tension relief.
• Deep tissue massage: Targets deep layers of muscles to alleviate chronic pain.
• Sports massage: Tailored for athletes to prevent and treat injuries.
• Hot stone massage: Uses heated stones to relax muscles and improve circulation.
• Prenatal massage: Designed for pregnant women to relieve discomfort and promote relaxation.

Sessions typically last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on your treatment plan and specific needs.

The frequency of sessions depends on your treatment goals. For injury recovery, sessions may be two or three times a week, while regular maintenance may only require once-a-week appointments.

Wear comfortable clothing and discuss your preferences or any specific areas of concern with your therapist before the session. Avoid heavy meals or alcohol before your appointment.

Massage therapy is generally relaxing and not painful. However, certain techniques, like deep tissue massage, may cause temporary discomfort. Always communicate with your therapist to ensure your comfort.
