| Massage | Technique Relaxation massage is also known as Swedish Massage and aims to relax muscles and provide an overall feeling of wellbeing and relaxation. A variety of techniques, mainly using the flat of the hand with some light knuckle work, are used to achieve this at a pace that is slow and soothing. Deep tissue massage uses a varying degree of deeper pressure using the weight of the therapists’ body to encourage muscle against muscle or bone. This aims to activate the bodies’ response to heat and relax the muscle being worked on. The pace is generally faster than relaxation but the release of a sore, tense muscle can be just as relaxing.
