Revive Bodyworks

Swedish massage is the most popular type. This therapy uses long, slow, circular strokes and friction to increase blood flow. It is soothing, rejuvenating, and good for the soul. Trigger points are tiny, painful areas, or "knots" that are found in the muscles. Typically, nearly all people have them. These trigger points may result from muscular, skeletal, and functional changes over time. The massage therapist uses gentle pressure to find spasm-prone areas and then applies pressure to reduce pain and improve muscle function. It is an effective and precise therapy that can be given as needed until the problem disappears. Sports massage is beneficial for athletes and joggers. It has been proven that massage can prevent sports injuries and restore mobility through effleurage (light touches), petrissage, kneading, and stretching. Deeper therapeutic techniques may be used to reduce tension or breakdown adhesions. Massage can help maintain a better body and mind, as well as increase performance.
