Massage Types From Body Benefits Massage

How often should you get a massage?

This depends on a lot of variables. Your stress level, your activity level, your general health, and your approach to life.

People have been known to go all of their lives without ever experiencing the benefits of massage. Yet, Bob Hope and George Burns were wise enough to seek the benefits of massage every other day. This may have helped them live into their extended years.

For most people, massage should be looked at as part of your personal needs, which can vary just like our diet or sleep needs do. If you make the goal to get at least one therapeutic massage every month, you will undoubtedly see the benefits.

The primary types of body work that we currently offer through our therapists and trainings include:-

Swedish Massage

Sports Massage

Myofacial Treatment

No lotion is applied to the skin, rather the massage itself separates fascia from skin and muscles. Very therapeutic and successful though some people consider it painful.

Reflexology
