Swedish Massage
The world's most requested form of massage therapy is the Swedish Massage.
"Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of massage techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles and leave you feeling as though you are walking on clouds.

A Deep Tissue Massage can leave you feeling tender well after you leave the spa. It is intended to address serious chronic pain areas in the body.

Thai Massage
Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than more classic forms of massage. Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches.
