Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time. 

Focuses on soft tissue manipulation, stretching, range of motion and muscle conditioning related to sport injuries. Sports massage also helps with injury prevention and delayed  onset muscle soreness.

MLD is a light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen limb. It should not be confused with a traditional massage. MLD is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. Therapy is applied to your unaffected areas first, making it possible for the fluid to move out of the affected area, or “decongest” the region. MLD helps open the remaining functioning lymph collectors and move protein and fluid into them, as well as to help speed up lymph fluid flow through the lymphatics.

Speeds up the healing process by reducing swelling, fluid retention and bruising, increasing the removal of cellular debris and other waste from the traumatized area.  Also reduces scar formation and build-up of fibrotic nodules
