Classic Massage Therapy for Stress Relief & Self-Care

Swedish Massage - Classic Relaxation Therapy

The Gold Standard in Relaxation Massage

Experience the timeless healing of Swedish massage Morris Park clients have trusted for generations. This classic full-body massage uses flowing, rhythmic strokes to promote deep relaxation, improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support overall wellness.

What Is Swedish Massage:

Swedish massage is the foundation of Western massage therapy, characterized by five fundamental techniques:

Effleurage (Gliding Strokes)
Long, smooth strokes gliding over muscles in direction of blood flow toward the heart. Creates warming sensation, promotes circulation, and induces relaxation.

Petrissage (Kneading)
Lifting, rolling, and kneading muscle tissue like dough. Releases deep muscle tension, improves flexibility, and flushes metabolic waste from tissues.

Friction (Deep Circular Movements)
Firm pressure applied with fingertips, thumbs, or palms in circular motions. Breaks down adhesions (knots), increases local circulation, and generates therapeutic heat.

Tapotement (Rhythmic Tapping)
Rapid, percussive movements using cupped hands, fingertips, or fists. Stimulates muscles, invigorates nervous system, and energizes body.

Vibration (Shaking Movements)
Fine trembling or shaking motions. Relaxes muscles, releases tension, and calms nervous system.

  5. Adjustable pressure from light to firm based on preference
  6. Quiet, meditative environment with soft music and aromatherapy

Deep Tissue Massage - Therapeutic Pain Relief

Intensive Muscle Therapy for Chronic Pain & Tension

Break through stubborn muscle knots, adhesions, and chronic tension with deep tissue massage Bronx. This therapeutic technique applies sustained pressure to reach deep muscle layers and fascia, providing relief where Swedish massage cannot penetrate.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage:

Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Particularly helpful for chronically tense areas such as:

  • Stiff neck and upper back
  • Low back pain (lumbar region)
  • Shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues
  • Tight hamstrings and IT band
  • Chronic muscle knots (trigger points)

Technique Differences from Swedish:

Swedish Massage:

  • Lighter to medium pressure
  • Focuses on relaxation
  • Affects superficial muscle layers
  • Flowing, rhythmic movements

Deep Tissue Massage:

  • Firm to intense pressure
  • Focuses on pain relief and correction
  • Targets deep muscle layers and fascia
  • Slower, more deliberate strokes
  • May cause temporary discomfort (therapeutic pain)

How It Works:

Stripping Technique:
Deep, gliding pressure along length of muscle fibers using forearms, elbows, knuckles. Breaks down adhesions and lengthens shortened muscles.

Friction:
Pressure applied across grain of muscle to break down scar tissue and adhesions. Creates therapeutic inflammation that promotes healing.

Trigger Point Therapy:
Sustained pressure on specific “knots” (hyperirritable spots) until muscle releases. May cause referring pain to other areas initially.

What Conditions It Treats:

Chronic Pain:

  • Lower back pain
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Sciatica (nerve pain down leg)
  • Fibromyalgia symptoms
  • Arthritis pain management

Sports Injuries:

  • Muscle strains and tears
  • Tendonitis
  • IT band syndrome
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Repetitive strain injuries

Postural Issues:

  • Forward head posture (“tech neck”)
  • Rounded shoulders from desk work
  • Pelvic tilt imbalances
  • Muscle compensation patterns

What to Expect:

Intensity:
Deep tissue can be uncomfortable—you may feel “good pain” or therapeutic discomfort. This is normal! However, it should never be unbearable. Communicate with therapist throughout about pressure.

Breathing Through Discomfort:
When therapist works on trigger points, breathe deeply and consciously relax into the pressure. Tensing up prevents release.

Post-Massage Soreness:
You may feel sore 24-48 hours after deep tissue massage, similar to post-workout soreness. This is normal and indicates muscles are healing. Soreness diminishes with regular sessions.

Session Duration:
60 or 90 minutes (90 minutes recommended for comprehensive treatment)

Treatment Series:
While single sessions provide relief, series of 4-6 massages bi-weekly creates lasting change in chronic conditions.

Perfect For:

  • Chronic muscle pain sufferers
  • Athletes and active individuals
  • Desk workers with postural tension
  • Post-injury rehabilitation
  • Anyone who finds Swedish “too light”
  • Fibromyalgia or arthritis management
