What is a Swedish Massage?
What comes to mind when you close your eyes and think about getting a massage? Probably someone lying face-down, completely relaxed and enjoying soothing music while a therapist works their massage magic. That’s exactly what a Swedish massage offers — it’s even referred to as the classic massage technique. It aims to increase blood circulation and promote relaxation by releasing body tension and improving muscle flexibility.
Expectations during a Swedish Massage
In addition to stimulating the nervous system, Swedish massage also nurtures the skin, which soothes the nerves and reduces physical and emotional tension. How does it do that? Your massage therapist will use long, kneading strokes and deep, circular movements to increase the flow of oxygen into the bloodstream, which helps flush lactic and uric acids from your body.
Of course, we all have our personal preferences, but overall, Swedish massage is more gentle than deep tissue massage and better suited to anyone who’s looking for a pampering indulgence, or full mind-body relaxation.

What is a Deep Tissue Massage?
Looking for something a bit more intense than a relaxing and revitalizing Swedish massage? A deep tissue massage is just the answer for those who require a bit more attention — and pressure! — in the deepest part of the muscles.
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but it turns up the pressure a notch — or three. (Think John Mellencamp’s “Hurts So Good.”) Designed to target the inner layers of muscles and tendons, a deep tissue massage aids healing by relaxing tense areas of muscle and tissue. Because it helps increase blood flow and can help reduce inflammation, it’s the best massage for working out any muscle knots or relieving body tension and soreness.
Expectations during a Deep Tissue Massage
A licensed Haute Salon massage therapist will dig a little deeper during your deep tissue massage, using many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but also incorporating a higher degree of pressure. Although this technique is more intense than a Swedish massage, it shouldn’t hurt. Instead, the sensation will be a balance between a satisfying release of tension and the muscles pushing back against the pressure.
You should, however, expect to experience some soreness for two or three days after your deep tissue massage, and your therapist may suggest treating it with heat, ice, or stretches.

It is very similar to a typical full body massage. The main difference is that our massage therapist will make a few modifications to ensure the safety and comfort of the mother and baby.

What is a Myofascial Massage?
Myofascial release therapy is a therapeutic approach that can be used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. It's a hands-on technique that works to relax, lengthen and realign your fascia. The goal is to bring you pain relief, as well as give you back your full range of motion.
Massage therapists can help with a technique called Myofascial Release that uses sustained pressure to loosen and lengthen constricted fascia. It breaks down adhesions between the tissues and softens and re-aligns them, freeing up muscles and allowing easier and more effective movement.
