Deep Tissue Massage requires much firmer pressure to get to the deeper muscles and release any tension, toxins and aids in better circulation. Massage also helps improve bad posture as muscles are loosened and relaxed therefore allowing joints to enjoy greater freedom.

Sports Massage is used to treat individuals who are involved in physical activity and can therefore aid in the healing of overworked muscles which have tightened and restricting range of motion, massage helps keep joints more fluid, making you more flexible and less prone to injury.

Swedish/Relaxation Massage is basically a more gentle relaxing massage which can aid with anxierty and stress and helps improve circulation.
