Deep tissue -
Is a type of massage technique , which uses deep pressure. Combining very slow strokes and notable pressure, the purpose is to release the tension and tightness held deeply in your muscles and your connective tissues.
A deep tissue massage will typically focus on your primary areas of discomfort. This will typically be the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and legs. However, it is also used on the arms, for example in the case of tennis elbow, or the feet, such as with plantar fasciitis.
The increased pressure helps to alleviate any soreness or imbalance caused by injury or tenseness. If you have anxiety or are suffering with stress, a deep tissue massage will help to release the tension you are carrying in your body as a result.
Whether you’re struggling with a sports injury, living with plantar fasciitis, or have a chronic condition such as sciatica or fibromyalgia, deep tissue massage can bring pain relief.
As well as helping you sleep better due to pain relief, a deep tissue massage can have a soporific effect later on due to the natural injection of serotonin your body receives.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage - what is it?
When most people receive their first manual lymph drainage massage, they’re usually surprised that the hand technique is so very gentle. Lymphatic massage requires a controlled, yet light touch. Why so gentle?
Lymph vessels are delicate and tiny. The largest are less than one millimeter in diameter, and the precapillary channels are even smaller. The hand movements therefore must be rhythmic and gentle, but provide enough tension to slightly stretch the skin, which encourages the small segments of the lymph vessels to pump lymph fluid. This special type of lymphatic massage is called the Vodder Technique.
Natural lymph movement has no pump
Physical activity and breathwork are the very best ways to keep your lymphatic system healthy. When you exercise, your lymph moves faster. When your heart is beating faster, your blood is circulating faster. The lymphatic system is interrelated with the circulatory system. When your blood is pumping, your lymph is moving, too. Exercise is a great detoxifier of the lymphatic system.
But sometimes, intense activity is not possible. You might be recovering from surgery, or fighting an illness. You might not be able to exercise, per doctor’s orders. This is common after cosmetic surgery like a tummy tuck or lifestyle lift, or eyelid lift. In these cases, manual lymphatic drainage is helpful for relieving swelling and puffiness.
When lymph is not flowing properly, you may experience sinus or allergy issues. Draining the lymph nodes that work with the sinuses can help get everything flowing smoothly again and offer some well-deserved relief.
And at the end one of the main benefits of the MLD is the improvement of immune system and the removal of harmful waste and toxins from the body.

Swedish Massage, what is it?
The goal of Swedish massage is to improve your circulation and promote relaxation through soothing your muscles. The techniques involve soft strokes over areas which are more prone to pain, or without much muscle coverage.
Whilst the massage will leave you feeling deeply relaxed, afterwards you may experience a real boost in energy as a result of increased blood circulation.
By gently working the ligaments and muscles, this massage can help to improve your range of movement, keeping you supple and agile.
Unfortunately, many of us live stressful lives with pressures on our time and causes for worry. Being pampered and lulled into relaxation for an hour or 90 minutes allows all of that emotional stress to ebb away.
