SABA practitioners offer the following massage and therapeutic specialties. Please contact us if you have any questions about a specialty and whether it is right for you. This is great for people looking for a flowing, relaxing full body massage that increases circulation. Swedish massage includes a series of long, smooth strokes, kneading, tapping, and rocking that relaxes muscles and eases aches and pains throughout the body.
Deep tissue massage is more specific work that uses slow, deep pressure to release chronic tension in muscles, tendons and ligaments. The therapist can also use these techniques to relieve pain and allow easier, more fluid movement. Whether you were injured in a car accident, at work or at play, massage therapy may help your healing process. Injuries may damage soft tissue directly or even indirectly when healthy muscles overcompensate and become affected themselves. Massage can relieve pain and tension, increase mobility and circulation, and help restore healthy posture.
Pregnancy massage reduces the stress of carrying added weight, helps with changing hormonal levels, and with the discomfort and fatigue that often accompany pregnancy. Your therapist safely applies massage techniques, avoiding those that could be potentially harmful to the mother or baby.
Massage is also very useful postpartum to help new mothers recover from the stress of delivery. Deeply relaxing and therapeutic, sports massage is suitable for athletes and non-athletes alike.
Rhythmic pressing motions stretch and release muscle tissue to bring the body to optimal functioning. Sports massage increases circluation throughout the body, improves joint function and releases tensions and adhesions.
