Swedish Massage
A Swedish Massage is a type of massage therapy that incorporates various sets of massage therapeutic movements, including effleurage (sliding motions), petrissage (kneading movements), friction or rubbing, bending, stretching, and vibrational techniques.
A Swedish Massage uses a light to medium pressure technique that can increase blood oxygen levels and decrease muscle inflammation, improve circulation and flexibility, and relieve muscular tension and back pain. It's a treatment that makes you feel better, more rested, less stressed, and physically able to tackle life's challenges.
Whether you're dealing with aches and stiffness from common activities or physically taxing chores, a Swedish Massage can help invigorate and revitalize your aching muscles. This sort of therapy is also safe for expectant moms and new mothers, as well as infants and young children; it's also an excellent massage option for our elders or elderly population.
Our osteopathic practitioner will alter their pressure and technique to your unique physical demands following your initial consultation.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage entails applying greater pressure and slower strokes to the deeper layers of muscle, tendon, and fascia. The movements are usually made using fingers, knuckles, hands, elbows, and forearms, with specific attention paid to painful or tense regions.
Deep tissue massage is a type of bodywork that's used to treat muscular and joint pain. Deep tissue massage is particularly popular among athletes and sports fans since it helps to release stubborn knots, perpetuated tension, restricted areas, and adhesions. Its demeanor can also aid your muscles and joints in recovering their normal range of motion. While some of the treatments seem comparable to a Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage isn't one and the same; rather than increasing the intensity of a Swedish Massage, it deepens its touch. Here at Divergent Therapy we make sure to sink into the tissue allowing it to release to the deeper tissues rather than force our way through.
At the start of your message, a gentler pressure is commonly used to warm up the muscle. The pressure then rises to your level of comfort after that. Always talk with our practitioner about the intensity of the pressure so that it may be adjusted to your personal threshold.
You might feel a little stiff or sore after your massage, but it should go away within a day or two. If you have any concerns or experience discomfort following a massage, please inform your osteopathic practitioner.
There are many benefits to massage therapy, and it can be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Massage Therapy

After a brief health history, discussion of the treatment plan and areas of the body that will be treated the massage therapist will leave the room to wash their hands. After the massage therapist has left the room the client will undress to their level of comfort and get onto the table in between the two sheets on their back or stomach. Only the area that the massage therapist is working on will be draped leaving all other areas covered by the sheet and blanket. The therapist will check in with the client to monitor pressure levels making sure to be effective but within pain levels. At the end of the massage you may feel a bit light-headed or dizzy, this can happen because of an increase in circulation so make sure to take your time getting off of the table and dressed.
