MiamiMassage Therapy Treatments:
SWEDISH MASSAGE- When most people think of massage they think of “Swedish massage” Swedish massage is a classic western massage technique which combines kneading and long strokes to improve circulation and that relax and loosen muscles.
The techniques applied in Swedish massage are gentle and rhythmic. Five basic strokes,
all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibration, percussive and tapping
movements, usually accompanied by the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin.
Swedish massage shortens recovery time muscular strains by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic waste and it speeds the venous return of un-oxygenated blood and toxins from extremities. Even though the pressured is relatively light, this treatment still has therapeutic benefits including an increased blood flow,
increased muscle tone, improved oxygenation to the muscles and of course, relaxation.
For someone who has never had a massage before, Swedish MiamiMassage Therapy provides a great introduction.

SPORTS MASSAGE-Sports massage is a sensible blend of traditional Swedish Massage and Shiatsu. It was developed by Jack Meager, who is the official masseur for the U. S. Olympic Equestrian Team. Basic to the system is the fact that there are twelve principle body postures that form the axis of all athletic movement. Each sport demands that the player attains specific postures; hence, each sport tends to strain the muscles at certain predictable points. Sports massage can help heal strained muscles and allow healthy ones to reach peak action and to maintain it, with less risk of injury.
