Relaxation vs Therapeutic Massage

​Do you feel stressed out?
Do you live a fast-paced lifestyle?
Is your mind racing and prevents you from falling asleep?
Do you want to pamper yourself?
If you've answered YES to 2 or more on the above questions, you will highly benefit from stress-reducing/relaxation/spa massage therapy. 
It is characterized by long sweeping strokes, it puts your brain in meditative state, and it decreases stress and anxiety. 
While it is the full body that is being massaged in relaxation massage, therapeutic massage targets specific area or concern. You are a great candidate for therapeutic massage if you

• work out regularly;
• experience occasional aches and pains;
• your posture is out of alignment;
• you are prone to frequent injuries
• or overuse muscle tension that is related to you occupation.

The purpose of therapeutic massage is to enhance performance, decrease pain, and injury prevention. You will experience "hurts so good" feeling during the session. The beauty of therapeutic massage is its variety of techniques such as kneading, friction, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, trigger point therapy, stretching, etc. Additional tools such as scraping or cupping can be utilized as well. Your therapist may advice some corrective exercise, self massage, and lifestyle changes to improve your condition. 
Generally, therapeutic massage costs more due to advanced continuing education of the therapist.
