Body Massage Treatments

 

You may have heard that the stress you experience is the stress you wear. Yet, with so many different types of massage with highly individualized benefits, how do you know which one is right for you?

In addition to world-class estheticians, Flawless by Melissa Fox hosts renowned massage experts devoted to facilitating greater peace and relaxation by drawing from a wide range of massage techniques. During a highly individualized consultation, we'll zero in on exactly which massage treatments are most suitable for your entire body—and in this article, we'll cover the benefits you might expect from several of our Miami clinic's most popular full-body massage services.

Swedish Massage

You've heard about Swedish massage, but perhaps without knowing how it works or the benefits it offers the mind and body. Swedish massage has become so ubiquitous that it's often what people refer to by default when they speak of "traditional" massage.

That's because it uses a vast range of kneading, stroking, and gliding techniques aimed at various muscles of the body known to release the most common tensions. Physically, Swedish massage facilitates greater blood flow and lymphatic circulation while reducing the generalized discomforts we might not always even realize are there in our very own muscles.

It's also a very dynamic approach, involving a thoughtful application of pressure in conformity with highly localized sources of tension. Swedish massage is an excellent option for first-timers or anyone without particular injuries or conditions to address.

Deep Tissue Massage

Those with more persistent neuromuscular tension and chronic internal pressures may want to go deeper, using a more vigorous and remedial approach to massage. Deep tissue massage thus broaches the threshold between discomfort and healing, using your body's own internal guidance system to reveal where soreness and tightness reside.

Compared with more traditional modalities, a deep tissue massage gradually opens your muscles up to:

  • A firmer touch
  • Harder, more acute pressure
  • Dynamic speeds
  • Greater sensation

Deep tissue massage is generally preferred for treating chronic pains and, with caution, certain musculoskeletal disorders. It's also been shown to support conditions ranging from improper posture to excess inflammation and conditions that tax the lymphatic system.

Prenatal Massage

Massage can also provide tremendous benefits for future mothers. That's because pregnancy involves an extremely broad range of hormonal changes, and unlike the circulatory system, lymph nodes require more thorough movement and touch to transport waste products and cellular nutrients properly.

A prenatal massage is the perfect choice for you or that special woman in your life on whom new life depends—and who both deserve an oasis of calm amidst the dramatic changes they're experiencing day by day.

With care, prenatal massage can also prepare specific parts of the body for the rigors of childbirth. You can rest assured your masseuse will take extensive precautions to avoid the abdomen and trigger points that could disrupt abdominal sensitivity. Above all, our massage therapists heed each client's natural body wisdom, and that goes double for mothers-to-be.
