The therapists at [practice_name] offer a variety of massage techniques, from gentle, stress-relieving massages to deep tissue trigger point therapy.

What Is a Massage?
Pressing, rubbing, and manipulating the skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments is a massage. The amount of pressure used in a massage can vary a good deal. Stress-relieving massages are generally very light and gentle. A deep massage uses slower strokes with deep pressure. A deep massage targets the deep layers of muscle and connective tissues. This type of massage can help with muscle damage from injuries. Trigger point massages, which can be provided after an injury or overuse of a muscle, focus on areas of tight muscle fibers.
