In a relaxation massage, the therapist won't push your limits in order to get the muscle to release, but to drift into a deeply relaxed state. You might even fall asleep! Swedish massage involves long smooth strokes, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscle. If you've never had a massage before, this is a good one to try first. Heated smooth stones are placed on certain points on the body to warm and loosen tight muscles and balance energy centers in the body. Good for people who have muscle tension but prefer light massage. Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Involves slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle. Used to relieve tight or painful muscles.
