Check out this article about the Deep Tissue Massage brought to you from Dr. Stan Dawson. You will find information about the history of Deep Tissue Massage how it works and much more.
"Deep Tissue massage and Swedish massage are the two most commonly requested massage techniques. You can assume that a client who requests Deep Tissue wants a massage that is not focused only on relaxation. She wants you to work deeply enough to make a difference in her level of discomfort and possibly also her overall posture and wellbeing. She wants you to work through the layers of her muscles to get to the deep, sore places that Swedish massage alone does not effectively relieve. Her focus is probably on results rather than relaxation. "

Reiki is a powerful tool in alternative medicine that facilitates a patient’s own healing ability through the transfer of energy. It is an ancient healing practice that originated in Japan, and it is now becoming more common in American medicine and massage.
How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is based on the belief of universal energy that promotes the body’s natural healing capabilities. This energy can be accessed by trained practitioners who use their hands to allow the energy to flow through various parts of a patient’s body. There are twelve basic hand positions used in a Reiki session, but they may be altered depending on the needs of each patient. The practitioner can feel the flow of energy into the body by a tingling or warmth in the hands. After a session, patients may feel relaxed, sleepy, or even energized. Clinical studies have shown boosted immunity and better circulation to be results of Reiki.
Reiki Energy
The word Reiki is composed of two Japanese words: rei-universal and ki-energy. This name represents the principles behind the practice. The hands are simply a medium for transferring this energy, which may be used on or near oneself or on others. Highly skilled Reiki practitioners can even give a session when the patient is at a distance because they are using non-physical energy believed to animate all living things. Therefore, this energy is all around no matter where you are. Although Reiki energy is not tangible in the traditional sense, it does yield positive effects in patients, including increased relaxation, stress reduction, and chronic pain relief.
