The Swedish massage techniques vary from light to vigorous.  Swedish massage uses five styles of strokes.  The five basic strokes are <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Effleurage\">effleurage<\/a> (sliding or gliding), <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Petrissage\">petrissage<\/a> (kneading), <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tapotement\">tapotement<\/a> (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber or with the fibers) and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vibromassage\">vibration\/shaking<\/a>.  Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks.  The development of Swedish massage is often inaccurately credited to Per Henrik Ling, though the Dutch practitioner Johann Georg Mezger applied the French terms to name the basic strokes.  The term &#8220;Swedish&#8221; massage is actually only recognized in English and Dutch speaking countries, and in Hungary.  Elsewhere (including Sweden) the style is referred to as &#8220;classic massage&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep Tissue Massage<\/strong>&#8211;a form of massage that involves working and acting on the body with pressure \u2013 structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving \u2013 tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids.  Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, feet, or a massage device.  Massage can promote relaxation and well-being.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trigger Point Massage<\/strong>&#8211;a form of massage that involves deactivating trigger points that may cause local pain or refer pain and other sensations, such as headaches, in other parts of the body.  Manual pressure, vibration, or other treatment is applied to these points to relieve myofascial pain.  Trigger points were first discovered and mapped by Janet G. Travell (President Kennedy&#8217;s physician) and David Simons.  Trigger points have been photomicrographed and measured electrically.  In 2007, a paper was presented showing images of Trigger Points using MRI.  These points relate to dysfunction in the myoneural junction, also called neuromuscular junction (NMJ), in muscle, and therefore this modality is different from reflexology, acupressure and pressure point massage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>View our <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dfwchiromassage.com\/blog\/9075\/massage-package-deals-2810-e-trinity-mills-rd-carrollton-tx\">massage package rates<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute; left:-4053px; width:1px; height:1px; overflow:hidden;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/anti-inflammatory-medication.info\">http:\/\/anti-inflammatory-medication.info<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/stop-infections.net\">http:\/\/stop-infections.net<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massage therapy services we offer include: Chiromassage (Chiropractic adjustment &#038; therapeutic massage)&#8211;You get either a 30-minute or 60-minute massage along with a chiropractic adjustment.
