| What Types of Massage we offer?
We make a variety of different types of massage available to our clients for many different reasons, including:
· Sports Massage
Massage of foundation tissues directed specifically at the muscles used in athletic activities. This is a deep muscle massage often used around the joints. It combines classical Swedish style massage with trigger points, compression and other techniques to reduce soreness. Excellent when preparing for sports activities or after a strenuous workout.
· Relaxation Massage
Relaxation Massage is the most commonly practiced form of massage in the West. It combines a variety of techniques that are focused on the body's soft tissues and is applied in a full-body sequence. Relaxation Massage eases stress from the body by calming the nervous system, reducing muscular tension and by stimulating the release of endorphins, a natural chemical in the body that induces deep relaxation.
· Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a holistic treatment; that is, a treatment for the whole of the body, as well as the area being treated. The primary aim of remedial massage is to find and treat the cause of the disorder, not only the symptoms. A remedial massage therapist studies anatomy, physiology, related pathology and the techniques of Swedish massage, heat and cold therapies, Kinesthetics and many other related fields.
· Arthritis Relief
At Urban Retreat we have programs specifically addressing the needs of the elderly population in our local area. Massage can help sufferers of arthritis and related soft tissue rheumatic disorders, and also everyone who feels stiffness or tension in parts of their body.
