Sarananda has several different styles and areas of expertise, as described below:
Swedish
This type of massage is most common in the west and is based on anatomy and physiology of the human body. The goal of Swedish massage is to relax the entire body. The massage therapist will accomplish this with gliding and kneading strokes. This type of massage helps to improve circulation and flexibility, increase the level of oxygen in the blood, decrease muscle tension and overall stress.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in muscles and connective tissues (or fascia). The therapist will target areas of concern and knots which are present, and release chronic muscle tension. It’s called “deep tissue” massage because it is aimed at the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles, and will invariably work out hard knots or adhesions that exist in those muscles. Many of the same techniques used in Swedish massage are used in Deep Tissue massage as well, but the pressure is usually deeper and focused. This does not mean it needs to be a painful experience in order to be effective. The therapist would like you to speak up if there is pain or discomfort.
Raindrop
Raindrop Therapy Massage uses essential oils that have been studied for their immune system effects and antimicrobial properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties. The oils are dispensed like little drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back and gently massaged along the vertebrae. These oils in combination with massage therapy and moist heat provide a relaxing and beneficial experience to the client. During the massage, the oils are absorbed through the skin and thus continue to stimulate the body for the next five to seven days. This style of massage tends to be more gentle and is only focused on the back and spine and the feet.
