A Swedish physician named Pehr Henrik is credited with developing the techniques and concepts of Swedish massage and introducing the practice to others.

The main goal of Swedish massage is to calm the body and mind, and lightly release muscle tension. The massage therapist applies a combination of firm and lighter strokes to the muscles to relax the muscle tissues and increase blood flow to the heart.

Aromatherapy massage involves the application of essential oils, which are concentrated extracts from plants, to the skin during a massage. These oils are believed to have therapeutic properties that can promote relaxation, improve mood, and relieve pain.  

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. 

A Thai combination massage blends traditional Thai massage with Western styles like Swedish or deep tissue, creating a customized, holistic treatment that reduces stress and improves flexibility. It uses a mix of stretching, pressure point work, and oil-based strokes to provide both the invigorating and deep-tissue benefits of Thai massage and the soothing, relaxing effects of Western techniques.  

A sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to meet the needs of athletes and individuals who engage in regular physical activity. It aims to improve performance, prevent injuries, and promote recovery.  

 A hot stone massage is a type of massage in which the masseuse places smooth, hot stones on your back. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. The stones used in hot stone massage are typically basalt, volcanic rock that is usually high in iron, which allows them to absorb heat.
