For Your Body

Massage Therapy Treatments
When your muscles contract, they force blood, nutrients, lymph, and oxygen throughout your body. The kneading and stokes of massage also do this, either over the entire body or on specific areas.

If you’re active in any sport or fitness program, massage can help with muscle adhesions (small tears) and scar tissue formed from those adhesions. You may not realize you have these adhesions until you experience restrictive movement. By that time it is much harder and more complicated to restore. Massage can also help you recover from workouts by forcing metabolic wastes–which make you feel sore, tired, and even ill–out of your muscles. Massage Therapy covers a wide variety of techniques and modalities. The types we offer here at Suzette’s include..

Swedish Massage
Therapeutic / Deep Tissue Massage

Swedish Massage:
This is a general and relaxing massage. You will be stroked and kneaded to bring about a reduction of tension, removal of waste products within tissues and an increase in circulation of both the blood and lymph, to nourish the body. It may also include a range of motion for the joints.

Therapeutic / Deep Tissue Massage:
A more advanced massage to treat specific areas. This would be for the person who needs or wants to focus more time on a problem area. The therapist may use a variety of techniques in addressing these areas, penetrating into the deeper layers of the tissues to allow for waste removal, oxygenation, and to affect any adhesions. Heavier pressure, friction, and pressure point techniques will be used.

Aromatherapy:
This incorporates pure essential oils in a carrier or base oil. The essential oils are derived from seeds, stem leaves, roots, flowers, and fruits of a plant. Each plant has distinct therapeutic properties. The oils work through skin absorption and actually permeate the cells of the body. The oials also work through inhalation, traveling through the lungs and entering our bloodstream. Stone Therapy clinically is the application of heated stones during massage therapy. This brings about the deepest penetration using different temparatures, thus relaxing your body at its innermost level. Adding a balance of harmony with positive enegry flow makes this type of massage unique.

The Importance of Water Following a Massage Once a massage forces wastes out of your muscles and into your bloodstream, you need to drink an above-average amount of water for two or three days to flush the waste out of your body. This is very important! How Often Should You Have a Massage? Lifestyle has a lot to do with how often you should receive a massage, including how often you exercise and work out, if you have a job that requires lifting or even prolonged sitting.
