Types of Massage
Revitalize & Recover.
Deep Tissue Massage
Similar to Swedish massage with a focus on reaching the deepest level of muscle tissue. This can aid in relieving pain from chronic muscle tension and past injuries since it targets layers of muscles which are not often worked, allowing them to relax and release.
Sports Massage & Reflexology
Sports massage targets muscles and extremities commonly affected by athletic activity. This often requires deeper, more focused massage in these areas to alleviate discomfort.
Reflexology is often part of Sports massage since it involves massaging joints and tendons in the extremities to improve mobility and flexibility. However, Reflexology is a beneficial practice on its own, especially for arthritis sufferers and those with joint injuries.
Swedish Massage
Traditional therapeutic techniques aid in relieving tense, knotted muscles, allowing the body to lengthen and relax. This is the most common type of massage and recommended for most people who want to relieve aches and pains and simply relax. Betty will communicate with you to find your perfect level of pressure to ensure comfort and relaxation in every massage.
Benefits of massage

Massage can, however, be a helpful supplement to traditional medical care, as well as other alternative health care treatments.
