There are numerous styles of massage treatments (modalities) utilizing different techniques, from Eastern Medicine bodywork such as acupuncture and Shiatsu that use no lotions or oils to Western Sports Massage and the more commonly requested Therapeutic Massage. While most treatments are done on a massage table and require the use of oils or lotions, many Eastern bodywork treatments are performed on a mat on the floor with the client remaining completely clothed. The majority of all massage therapy treatments require working the whole body, however others, such as Reflexology (foot treatment), may target specific areas. All forms of massage focus on triggering your body’s own internal healing ability.

Many people expect a therapeutic massage to be more intense and address long-term chronic issues and not just be for relaxation alone. Two of the more common types of therapeutic massage are Deep Tissue and Sports massage. However, the term “Therapeutic Massage” simply indicates that the massage is a professional massage treatment that has real health benefits. With stress being the number one reason people get massage, a Swedish massage may be the perfect therapeutic choice!At massage ESCAPES, our therapeutic massage is always customized to your unique individual needs.  Your therapist can guide you in choosing the most beneficial treatment.
