Sports Massage - used to help athletes prepare for and recover from competition, reduce the potential for injuries and aid in injury rehabilitation.

Swedish Massage - a system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints.

Thailand Massage - combination of massage, yoga and accupressure. Thailand massage is done on a padded floor. Both practioner and receiver are clothed comfortably.
