Colorado Springs MassageMost people are familiar with massage, but what you might not know is that their are two very different philosophies in massage that can dramatically impact the effectiveness of the massage.
One is relaxation massage, often called "Swedish." This focuses on de-stressing the body and mind and creating a wonderful experience that borders on pampering - we all need a little pampering sometimes. The other is medical massage, that focuses on the therapeutic benefits of soft-tissue work. Medical massage goes very well with chiropractic care, and it is an important piece to the health care puzzle. For relaxation massage, we offer Swedish massage, hot stone therapy, and Ashiatsu massage (in which the therapist uses both his/her feet and hands to smooth out muscles. For medical massage, we focus in on specific problem areas. This is a more focused massage, but you will learn more about your body, and you will walk away with results that last. |
