CHAIR MASSAGE
This technique involves the use of a specially designed massage chair in which the client sits comfortably. Halcyon Holidays offers chair massage for parties or special events.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
A type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.") http://spas.about.com/od/massag1/a/deeptissue.htm
GERIATRIC MASSAGE
Very much like Swedish massage, This type of bodywork is a gentler massage often limited to a shorter time span. If you have an elderly parent that needs massage please contact me for further information and pricing.
PRENATAL/PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Prenatal massage is massage therapy for pregnant women. Prenatal massage can be used to treat women during any trimester of pregnancy. However, a thorough health history should be taken, and there should be no pregnancy or health complications.The biggest difference is in positioning and in the amount of pressure used. If you would like further information please feel free to contact me.
REFLEXOLOGY
Based on an ancient Chinese therapy, reflexology involves manipulation of specific reflex areas in the foot and hands, that correspond to other parts of the body. Similar to acupressure, reflexology works with the body’s energy to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance. This technique is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation.

RELAXATION MASSAGE
Very similar to Swedish massage, using the same strokes to calm and relax the body and mind.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
One of the most well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.
