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.

It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Unlike traditional massage therapies that primarily focus on relaxation, stress relief, or general pain management, sports massage is specifically designed to support movement, performance, and recovery. It targets the muscle groups most engaged in your activities, helping to address tightness, soreness, or imbalances that might arise from repetitive movements.

Sports massage has three key goals: preventing injury, supporting injury recovery, and supporting recovery from movement in general — all of which contribute to better performance.

By lifting and separating tissues, improving circulation and inducing a state of deep relaxation, dynamic cupping therapy is based on the principles of negative pressure.

The potential health benefits of dynamic cupping therapy are numerous and varied. Whether your goal is to reduce pain, increase circulation, or simply unwind, this therapy can help you achieve your goals.

During a manual lymphatic drainage session, a trained therapist uses specific light-pressure techniques to stimulate lymph flow. The gentle, rhythmic movements follow the natural pathways of your lymphatic vessels, encouraging fluid to move from congested areas toward lymph nodes where waste can be filtered.

While all manual lymphatic drainage techniques share the same fundamental principles, there are different approaches. Each technique has the same end goal, but each uses slightly different hand movements and pressure. The technique used in your session is simply the one your practitioner is trained to use and feels most comfortable performing.

All lymphatic drainage techniques support your body’s natural healing processes by reducing inflammation, minimizing swelling, and helping to clear metabolic waste from surgical sites—ultimately accelerating recovery.
