Therapeutic massage is a term that describes any massage promoting physiological health benefits, relieve pain, fix a problem area or reduce stress in the body.
There are several types of therapeutic massage, including the Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, hot stone massage, and more.
One of the best reasons to get a massage is to reduce anxiety.
Anxiety and stress can have real physical effects on your body.
Muscles can tighten, your skeletal structure can become unaligned, and the circulation of fluids in your body can slow or even stop as a result of high stress or anxiety.

Deep tissue massage addresses the deeper structures of your muscles and connective tissue.
This type of massage is more concentrated, and the massage therapist often pays attention to one exact area at a time.
If your muscles feel particularly tight or appear to have knots, you may need some deep tissue work.
A deep tissue massage does require pressure and can be slightly uncomfortable at times, but it should never hurt.
If you experience pain during your deep tissue massage, be sure to let your massage therapist know so she can reduce the amount of pressure she is using.

Hot stone massage is a type of therapeutic massage that uses the same techniques as the Swedish massage, but with the addition of heated stones.
It is typical for the stones used to be smooth river rocks.
All stones we use come from Goat Rock Beach in Sonoma County, CA.
These stones are heated in a bath of 120-150-degree water.
Being natural stones, their chemical make-up helps them retain heat throughout the hot stone massage.
The heat from the stones during a hot stone massage helps your muscles to relax, allowing your massage therapist to reach and manipulate your deep tissues more effectively.
