Deep Tissue Massage ranks high in popularity to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. It may be combined with some swedish, relaxing strokes. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial. Keep in mind that it is possible to experience soreness after the treatment, and that you should drink plenty of water to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Reflexology focuses on applying pressure to the specific zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into the feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, anxiety and depression. For those of you that hurt everywhere, this is a great treatment to start with. A foot buff and aromatic lotions may be included.
