Deep Tissue Massage therapy is similar to Swedish Massage but deeper pressure is applied to benefit the release of chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that people's blood pressure fell after a single 45 to 60 minute Deep Tissue Massage. Additionally, a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.
If your lifestyle involves sports, the Deep Tissue Massage focuses on specific areas for deeper relief using slow stroke techniques. The Deep Tissue Massage will leave you feeling deeply appreciative of the talented hands of your Avalon therapist.
Be sure to discuss the Deep Tissue Massage with your Avalon therapist to see if this treatment would be beneficial for you.

Avalon Swedish Massage |
- Light to medium pressure
- Eases stress and tension
- Increases blood circulation
- Good for stress-related conditions and chronic pain
- Helps lower blood pressure
|
The most popular type of massage, the Swedish Massage technique relaxes the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish Massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the massage.
The benefits of Swedish Massage include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion. |

Though originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for strenuous performance, function well during training and recover after a big event, the Sports Massage also benefits non-athletes with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion. It emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons. A combination of range of motion stretches (increases range of motion and flexibility), isometric contractions (helps builds muscle strength), neuromuscular therapy (promotes muscle healing), and myofacial release (helps promote circulation), the Sports Massage is a great choice for both non-athletes and very active athletes alike. |

It may include passive stretching and a light oil or lotion to permit your muscles to be worked on without causing excessive friction to the skin. These techniques can help enhance blood circulation, combat depression, improve balance and flexibility, reduce the pain of arthritis, increase joint mobility, improve posture, and encourage overall well-being. |

MLD massage reduces swelling and decreases pain when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system.

MLD involves gentle massage to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels.
Lymph movement is essential to a healthy Lymphatic System. |

Cupping |
Cupping may ease symptoms of:

- Improves blood flow
- Asthma and other breathing issues
- Headaches and migraines
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Gastrointestinal (GI) disorder like IBD
|
Cupping therapy uses the force of suction to pull blood toward the surface of your skin. It increases your body’s natural healing response in these areas.
Suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under your skin.
Your body replenishes the cupped areas with healthier blood flow and stimulates proper and normal healing at a cellular level.
It is mostly used to relieve conditions that cause pain, and also helps with chronic health issues. |
