Fresno Massage Therapy
How does massage therapy work?
Massage has several beneficial effects and positive effects on people that can be used therapeutically. Direct mechanical effects occur via pressure and tension in the area of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, capsular ligament apparatus and connective tissue, including the nerves, lymphatic and blood vessels. Scars and adhesions between the different tissues can be removed. At Fresno Massage Therapy our Swedish Massage is usually a 30-minute application that is limited to the back, shoulders and neck area. A Swedish full body massage usually includes back, shoulders / neck, legs, feet, arms, hands and optionally head and face. Our massage therapists are practitioners who massage the stomach with a Swedish massage. If you do not want to be touched on the stomach or head, it is always advisable to discuss the procedure with our massage therapist before starting the treatment! We offer services to all of Fresno California call us @ (559)719-6673

Experts are often asked which items of clothing need to be removed for which massage. During a Swedish massage, everything is usually taken off to the underpants, including the bra. Many people feel most comfortable when they take everything off during a massage and this is usually not a problem because the genital area is covered with a towel throughout the treatment. If you are unsure about this, the best thing to do is to speak to your therapist immediately before starting the treatment so that all uncertainties are cleared before you start.
The Swedish massage is only moderately oily. For this reason, it is also very clear to wear your own underpants. If a one-way slip is offered and you want to be on the safe side, you can of course just as well wear it. |
Aromatherapy
The aromatherapy massage is a bit like a hot stone massage: you (aside from the fact that an aroma oil is used) never really know what to expect. Generally, aromatic oil massages are more like relaxation massages, which means that they work more softly than deeply. You should definitely keep that in mind. One often hears from guests that they have booked an aromatic oil massage somewhere and have only been caressed. It's a shame, but it doesn't have to be.
If you prefer a rather soft massage with little pressure, this is definitely the practice for you. If you prefer to be massaged with more pressure or medically combined with aromatic oil, you should definitely announce this when booking. Aroma oil massages are often also booked in by beauticians who do not have a medical massage license.
A good practitioner should always respond to your needs individually, regardless of the type of treatment booked. In this respect, it makes sense, just as with the Swedish massage, to discuss at the beginning whether the front of the upper body should be massaged or whether, for example, the face and hair may become oily. You can already tell that the process is more freestyle. And the aromas are very similar. You can usually choose from classics such as lavender (relaxing), peppermint (stimulating), rose (balancing) or sandalwood (calming).
But here you have to be prepared for everything. You may be able to choose from 20 scents, but it may also be that you only have 3 scents to choose from. In addition, there are also concepts where you have to choose a fragrance composition. The best thing is to sniff your way through impartially and make an intuitive decision. If you are open to freestyle treatments and give specific instructions in advance regarding the focus of treatment and pressure strength, you can definitely book a deeply relaxing treatment with an aromatic oil massage. Just try it! We offer massage therapy in Fresno CA.

Reflexology
The foot reflex zone massage can be found in almost every spa menu here in Fresno. It is actually called foot reflex zone therapy and is practiced all over the world. The foot reflexology massage goes back to the American doctor William Fitzgerald and has been significantly shaped by other practitioners. This is a treatment without oil. On your feet - as the name of the treatment suggests - there are so-called reflex zones, which more or less “depict” the entire body on the foot. The organs of the body can be influenced reflectively by pressure on the corresponding zones.
Regardless of the duration of treatment, the practitioner systematically works through the reflex zones using a very specific pressure point technique. (Because it is always difficult to explain a technique in words, there are a series of YouTube videos so that you can better imagine it). The foot reflex zone massage does not only work on the sole of the foot, but on the entire foot, i.e. between the toes and the back of the foot. It can hurt in some places. This pain should be bearable. When working on a tense muscle, there is also pain that feels pleasant to a certain point. And with this feeling you should be able to compare that.

Deep tissue Massage
The deep tissue massage appears under the name “sports massage” sometimes. One should distinguish in advance between the actual technique on the one hand and the expectations of the guest who books this massage on the other. Everyday spa life shows that many guests book deep tissue to avoid caressing massages and are actually very happy with a more powerful Swedish massage.
This kind of massage does not work superficially, but in the deeper muscle tissue. And it tends to be slow. And more often with lotion than with oil. Deep and slow deletions form the basis and are supplemented by pressure point techniques. The practitioner occasionally also works with the elbow.
A deep tissue usually makes sense for chronic, deep-seated muscle tension. The tissue bonds responsible for this are solved with deep tissue techniques. For this reason, after a deep tissue, you should always make sure to drink enough and ideally rest a bit. Rebalancing is a deep tissue massage, but not every deep tissue massage is rebalancing. A bit confusing, but the transitions are fluid. In a spa, you will most likely get a vigorous Swedish massage if you book deep tissue. If you want real deep tissue work, it always makes sense to ask explicitly whether there is a practitioner who does rebalancing.
A deep tissue sometimes moves at the pain threshold. But it should never hurt so much that you brace against it or stop breathing. If you have persistent, deep-seated tension, you should try it out. Have fun! (559)719-6673

Thai massage
Thai massage, as the name suggests, is a form of massage that started in Thailand. The Thai massage is based on a system of different energy lines, also called nadis (there are 72,000 in total), on which the so-called marmapoints are located. In practice, you can imagine this as a mix of passive stretching, joint mobilization and acupressure.
The Thai massage traditionally takes place on a mat on the floor and is one of the techniques that you do not have to undress. Because here traditionally no oil is used. (Exceptions confirm the rule and somehow there are quite a few exceptions). In any case, it makes sense to inquire in advance whether you work with or without oil. If it is the traditional, oil-free variant, it can do no harm to bring loose sports clothing (in different hotel spas you will be treated like Shiatsu with this booking offer loose clothing that does not restrict your mobility).
A traditional Thai massage lasts 90 minutes and covers the whole body. But be careful! The Thai massage is not one of the gentlest techniques, trust me as a massage therapist in Fresno it's dynamic and powerful. Therefore, it is very important to me to give you one on the way: Please say something if it hurts!!! A good practitioner will always respond to this.
Unfortunately, Thai massage is often associated with erotic or sexual services. This is a shame for all therapists who have learned and offer this technique professionally. There are addresses in every city that carry out this application authentically without becoming intimate. There are more and more day spas and hotel spas adding Thai massage to their spa menu. Here you should be able to assume that your treatment does not contain any erotic components and that our services are top notch. Give us a call to schedule an appointment today (559)719-6673

Hot stone massage
The exact origin of this treatment is rather unclear. Some say that the hot stone massage originated in shamanism. Others claim that she comes from Polynesia. The fact is: Nobody seems to really know it. The processes of the hot stone massage are similarly variable. But what each of them should have in common is working with +/- 64 black basalt stones, which are heated beforehand and in the meantime in a water bath.
Sometimes the guest lies on the stones (the so-called “layout” on the left and right of the spine in the supine position), sometimes warm stones are also placed on the energy centers of the body and remain there while the practitioner is massaging other areas of the body with warm stones. There are cases where therapists will put hot stones on a person and then walk out for long periods of time. This is not a true hot stone massage – not even close actually. It is very important to point out here and today that what constitutes a hot stone massage is the massage of the body with the stones.
Since the hot stones only maintain their temperature for a few minutes and cool down relatively quickly, the practitioner constantly exchanges them for new ones during the treatment. As a rule, the stones are not only superficially massaged, but also a little deeper. There are also techniques in which one stone is tapped on another, which in turn creates a slight vibration. If no stones are positioned under the body, this does not automatically mean that the practitioner does not know what he or she is doing. In most cases, there are simply not enough stones available for treatment.
There are also hot stone massages that include working with cold marble stones. If there is a “hot stone massage” in the spa menu, people are always a little surprised as to what happens in the end. Those who book this treatment should tend to be open to a freestyle treatment. If the surprise effect is too big for you, you should make sure that you book a “LaStone”. This is a concept with a fixed process and strictly certified therapists.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a normal condition and for most expectant mothers, it is a healthy and happy time. However, pregnancy may also be stressful and the physical state of being pregnant not only comfortable, but sometimes, painful. When you reach this state or just want to relax, you will find that our pregnancy massage services will meet your needs.
When handled by a trained and experienced professional, massage therapy can reduce the stress in your body and provide health benefits for your unborn child.
The Benefits Offered by Prenatal Massage
According to a 2017 survey from Obstetricians and Gynecologists, most physicians who were included in the study, agreed that prenatal massage therapy was effective (to some level) when used along with medical care. There is a direct correlation between prenatal massage and an expectant mother’s health – especially when it comes to pain reduction and stress reduction.
Researchers have shown that massage therapy can be beneficial for the pregnant mom and her unborn child. This is especially true for mothers who are experiencing severe cases of depression or stress. When a mother is stressed, it can increase the possibility of neurological and physical diseases in the child, which is why massage is such a beneficial process. Some of the specific benefits offered by pregnancy massage can be found here.
· Reduction in cortisol and stress hormones
· Reduced back pain
· Fewer birth complications for the mother
· Reduced sciatic pain
· Fewer issues related to newborn complications (i.e., low birth weight)
· Reduced leg swelling
· Improved mood
· Improved sleep quality
· Reduced muscle tension
· Improved circulation
· Less joint pain
