(Hard Pressure On Sore Muscles)
(Oil, Lotion or Dry)
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that targets the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues to help relieve chronic tension using hard pressure on sore muscles. At Massage 7, we understand that classic massage is great for relaxation, but sometimes our clients need a little more. That’s why our massage therapists are trained in the art of deep tissue massage.
Through the use of slow, deliberate strokes and firm pressure, our therapists can access the underlying layers of muscle tissue, working to break down any adhesions or scar tissue that may be causing discomfort. This technique can be particularly helpful in treating chronic pain, improving range of motion, and reducing muscle tension. Deep tissue massage may also be effective in treating specific conditions such as fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow.
(Medium Pressure To Relax The Body)
(Oil or Lotion)
Swedish massage is a well-known type of massage therapy that has been practiced for centuries. It is a popular option for those looking to experience the benefits of massage for the first time. At its core, Swedish massage involves the use of long, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements to promote relaxation, increase circulation, and relieve muscle tension.
During a Swedish massage, the massage therapist will use a variety of techniques to target different areas of the body. They will typically start with broad, flowing strokes to help relax the muscles and increase circulation. From there, they may use kneading and circular movements to work out any tension or knots in the muscles.

Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that is designed to help athletes and active individuals recover from injuries, prevent injuries, and improve their overall athletic performance. It involves the use of various techniques and modalities to target specific areas of the body that are affected by sports-related activities.
During a sports massage, the massage therapist will typically use a combination of deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching techniques to help relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and increase range of motion. They may also use other modalities such as hot stones or electrostimulation to help alleviate pain and promote healing.
Sports massage can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, sprains, and other sports-related injuries. It can also be used to help improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, and enhance overall athletic performance.
(Gentle Pressure on Lymph Nodes)
(Oil or Lotion)
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, non-invasive type of massage therapy that is designed to promote the healthy flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels and organs that helps to remove waste and toxins from the body and plays a critical role in immune system function.
During a lymphatic drainage massage, the massage therapist will use light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic vessels and encourage the flow of lymphatic fluid. This can help to reduce swelling and inflammation, improve immune system function, and promote overall wellness.
Lymphatic drainage massage is often used to help manage conditions such as lymphedema, which is a swelling of the limbs that occurs as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. It can also be effective in helping to reduce swelling and inflammation after surgery or injury, and may be beneficial for those dealing with autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, or skin conditions.

Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that focuses on releasing tight knots or “trigger points” in the muscles that can cause pain and discomfort. These knots are often the result of overuse, injury, or stress, and can lead to referred pain in other areas of the body.
During a trigger point therapy session, the massage therapist will use deep, targeted pressure to release the trigger points and restore proper muscle function. They may use a variety of techniques, including sustained pressure, stretching, and massage, to help break up the knots and promote healing.
Trigger point therapy can be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including headaches, back pain, sciatica, and fibromyalgia. It can also be used to help manage chronic pain conditions and improve overall mobility and flexibility.
(Soft – Hard Massage including placing hot stones on the back)
(Oil or Lotion)
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that uses heated stones to promote relaxation and alleviate muscle tension. The stones used in hot stone massage are typically smooth, flat basalt stones that are heated in water to a comfortable temperature.
During a hot stone massage, our massage therapists will place the heated stones on specific areas of the body, such as the back, legs, and feet. The heat from the stones can help to loosen tight muscles and promote relaxation, allowing our massage therapists to apply deeper pressure without causing discomfort.

Reflexology is a form of alternative therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. These points are believed to correspond to specific organs and systems in the body, and by applying pressure to these points, reflexology aims to promote overall health and wellbeing.
During a reflexology session, our massage therapists will use their fingers, thumbs, and other specialized techniques to apply pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. This pressure can help to stimulate the corresponding organs and systems in the body, promoting relaxation, reducing stress and tension, and improving overall health.
