| Deep Tissue Massage |
A classical European massage technique of the muscles
with special oils by therapeutic stroking and kneading of
muscle tissue to promote stress relief. It is used to improve
circulation, relieve muscle pain and tension, increase
flexibility and induce relaxation. It combines three basic
strokes to the skin: long, firm strokes; kneading strokes; and
small circles. This is the most requested and one of the
most enjoyable massages.
