What is Massage?

One of the most important aspects of the human experience is the basic need for physical contact. Oxytocin is produced when physical touch is experienced in a thoughtful and deliberate way. This naturally manufactured chemical in the body promotes well-being and helps humans feel more connected and happier.

The idea of getting a massage is correlated with being pampered, and well, it is absolutely a way to treat yourself, it is also a proven method to heal your body, relieve pain and ease the tension that can lead to a multitude of illness experienced throughout the body.

There are many types of massage used to treat various conditions. We provide the following types of massage at Salon D’ Shayn:

Massage Types
Swedish Massage This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you.
Deep Tissue Massage This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries.
Trigger Point Massage This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.
Sports Massage This is similar to Swedish massage, but it’s geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
Aromatherapy Massage A relaxing aromatherapy massage might include oil infused with lavender or bergamot, while peppermint and eucalyptus may be used to soothe sore muscles.
Prenatal Massage A type of massage that’s similar to regular massage – it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But prenatal massage is also customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly.
