Integrated Massage Styles

The following are typical descriptions of different types of massage

Swedish Massage

Shiatsu and Acupressure

Shiatsu and acupressure (eastern forms of san diego massage) focuses more on pressure and traditionally centers around balancing the bodies meridians. According to the eastern methods of massage the body is mapped with meridians that correspond to internal organs such as the lungs, heart, gallbladder and stomach. Just as the organs serve different functions within the body so they also represent different aspects of our lifes and how we function. Compressions of different levels of pressure are used to balance the meridians to produce a feeling of well-being and homeostasis. This style can also be done with a persons clothes on and on a mat vs. a table. Variations are used by practitioners to integrate it into non-traditional styles of san diego massage.

Deep Tissue

Similiar to a swedish san diego massage, deep tissue san diego massage is done with various strokes, kneading and friction.

The san diego massage is intended to address the deeper muscle layers and provide relief where there may be more stress or muscle pain.

The massage can sometimes be a bit painful (the breakup of scar tissue) but is not always discomforting. The pain should be a "feel good" Pain.

Trigger Point

Trigger points are sensitive areas in the muscle tissues that cause pain either in the localized area or referred pain to other areas of the body. Trigger point work uses pressure to to deactivate or reduce the pain and help alleviate the pain caused by it. Done correctly, the massage therapist will incorporate a style of breathing that elicits the release of the myofascial tissue surrounding the muscle.
