The pressure and speed of effleurage varies depending on the area and the effect required. \u00a0Superficial Effleurage is used to apply oil to the skin, to ease tissue and muscles \u00a0and clear an area after deep tissue massage, and to bring an end to the treatment. \u00a0Deep effleurage follows the direction of the muscle tissue, the movement generally towards the heart, the return stroke being much lighter, away from the center of the body. Deep Effleurage warms up the muscle tissue, preparing it for even deeper, more focused massage.<\/p>\n<p>Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Chronic aches and pains and dis-easaes such as stiff neck and upper back,\u00a0low back pain, leg muscle\u00a0tightness, and sore shoulders benefit from deep tissue massage. \u00a0Frequently, adhesions (bands of rigid, painful tissue) develop in areas of chronic tension, impeding circulation, restricting movement and causing restriction of movement and inflammation. \u00a0Deep tissue movements are slow with deep and focused pressure to reach the sub-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). The adhesions are physically broken down relieving pain and restoring normal movement.<\/p>\n<p>Percussion movements stimulate, drawing blood towards the surface, improving circulation. \u00a0Cupping over the upper and middle back, loosens mucus in the lungs aiding expectoration. \u00a0Percussion movements can help reduce fatty deposits, tone muscles, and improve circulation in areas of cellulite. \u00a0Gentle tapotement over the abdomen encourages peristalsis aiding digestive dis-eases such as constipation. \u00a0Percussion induces muscle tone and strength as the muscles are stimulated to contract and \u00a0is extremely useful for athletes before an event.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Massage Prices are \u00a335 per 30 minutes, \u00a360 per 60 minutes, \u00a390 per 90
