What is the difference between Swedish & deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage is best for general relaxation, whereas deep tissue massage is best for working on problem areas. Swedish techniques include long strokes, kneading or friction on superficial layers of muscles; this kind of massage it flushes out metabolic wastes from muscle tissue, and increases circulation.

Deep tissue massage can help release chronic patterns of tension in the body due to injury, poor posture, or stress. It utilizes bodywork techniques focusing on deeper muscles and structures in the body but is not be painful or invasive. The session can be full-body or more muscle-specific work.

Your massage will always begin with a conversation with your massage therapist, including discussion of which techniques you would like her to use for you.

How is the Swedish/deep tissue massage set up? What do I wear?
We use a massage table for this treatment. The massage therapist will be using oils and/or cream on your skin, so please undress to your comfort. You will be fully covered by a sheet at all times, except for the area of your body being massaged.

I have a health problem or condition. Is massage right for me?

How is Thai yoga bodywork different from Swedish/deep tissue massage? How do I choose the right treatment for me?
During a regular massage, you receive a manipulation of muscle tissue. During Thai yoga bodywork, we manipulate the energy lines of the body and also stretch and move you in different ways. Thai yoga bodywork combines massage, assisted yoga poses, acupressure, energy work, and meditation to unblock energy, relieve tension, and increase our body’s natural ability to heal itself. If you feel you are holding a lot of tension in particular muscle sections, you will probably benefit more from a regular massage. If you are feeling low in energy, somehow stuck, generally stressed out, or stiff and inflexible, you will probably benefit more from a Thai yoga bodywork session.

How is the Thai yoga bodywork session set up? What do I wear?
For a Thai yoga bodywork session, you are fully clothed. It is best to wear clothes that move and stretch with you. We use a massage mat on the floor or an equivalent setup. You will be in different positions during the session, from seated to lying on your belly to lying on your back.

What is involved in the ayurvedic consultation?
Ayurveda is an ancient holistic system of medicine and a sister science to yoga that seeks to improve one’s emotional, energetic and physical well-being. An ayurvedic consultation determines your predominant dosha (constitutional body type) and includes discussion of what the dosha means for you, as well as some lifestyle recommendations (diet, exercise, etc.). The following bodywork session will be particularly targeted to balance your body type. If you would like to learn more about ayurveda, we can schedule a follow-up session.
