Massage therapists use long, smooth strokes, kneading and other techniques focused on superficial layers of muscle using lotion or oil. Massage therapy improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to the tissues. It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility, and helps clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness and muscles and joints.
	Deep Tissue Massage Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles, connective tissue. It is especially helpful to those who have chronic muscle tension and stiffness in areas such as the neck and back tightness. Deep tissue massage is similar to regular massage therapy, but the techniques are slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.

Water heated stones of various sizes are applied to specific points on the body. Massage may also be performed with cold stones or hot stones alone or contrasting hot and cold.
