Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is often confused with deep pressure massage. Deep pressure massage means a constant, strong pressure throughout the session. Deep tissue massage can indeed have a significant amount of pressure behind certain techniques but deep tissue always has a goal. It is used on ailments like chronic pain, recovery from injuries, limited mobility, postural problems and muscle tension or spasm, among others.

Massage Cupping

Cupping therapy is possibly one of the oldest forms of therapy as there is evidence of its existence dating as far back as 3000 BC in Egypt. Cupping has been used in China for millennia. This therapy involves using cups and some method to create suction and pressure on the skin.

Myofascial Release

The fascia houses the muscles and keeps them aligned. It is the very substance that gives our bodies their shape and is found throughout the entire body. When trauma happens to the body the fascia may become 'glued' to the muscle or traumatic area. This can lead to many problems.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points are commonly known as muscle knots; the often painful spots where muscles seem to be clumped together in a tight little ball. Marque's advanced skills in trigger point therapy have brought relief to countless clients through the years.

Swedish or Relaxation Massage

Swedish massage is what most people mean when they use the term massage. It is one of the most relaxing types of massage to receive as it works over the whole body. The general techniques are gliding, kneading, tapping, and vibrating or shaking; used on different muscles in the body depending on the desired result.

Lymph Drainage Therapy

Lymph is the fluid in your body which transports fat, returns protein to the circulatory system and is an important part of fending of bacterial diseases. The lymphatic system runs through the body much as the circulatory system does and brings lymph into the blood and muscles.
