DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue.
It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as a stiff neck, lower back tightness, and sore shoulders.
Some of the same strokes are used as in classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY

Foot reflexology is a holistic healing method that involves pressure and massage of reflex points and areas on the feet, hands, and ears.By stimulating the feet, the flow of energy can be normalized to allow the body to heal itself. Reflexology has also proven effective as a way to treat stress, tension, and tiredness, as well as to maintain good health.
Foot reflexology is the most common application of this practice, and various forms of reflexology are practiced in both the West and the East.
All forms of foot reflexology utilize the theory that all parts of the body have energetic connections to their “reflex” areas or points on the feet.
