The benefits of regular massage appointments include stable sleep patterns, improved concentration, increased energy levels, and greater flexibility. Fitness Bound offers two types of massage:
Energy Replenishing: Shiatsu – or “finger pressure” – is a Japanese form of massage therapy similar to acupressure, and is applied to promote health and facilitate healing by correcting energy imbalances in the body. The goal is twofold: to release energy in areas where it may be blocked, and to bring energy back to areas that are depleted. This relaxing treatment initiates the release of endorphins (natural pain-killers) and lowers the levels of adrenaline and other stress hormones in the body.
Deep-Tissue Massage: Deep-tissue massage emphasizes slow strokes, direct pressure applied across the grain of the muscles with the fingers, thumbs or elbows. Deep-tissue massage targets tense muscles and connective tissue to release chronic aches and pains.
