Massage
Massage can be a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being. We offer a variety of deep tissue and healing massage treatments at our clinic in Fort Lauderdale.
What is massage?
According to Mayoclinic -Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. There are many different types of massage, including these 2 common types:
- Swedish massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping. It helps you feel relaxed and energized.
- Deep tissue massage. This healing massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s commonly used to help with muscle damage from injuries.
