Medical Massage means you have been evaluated by a physician, osteopath, chiropractor, or other person who is licensed to diagnose and prescribe and who has given you a prescription for massage therapy for a specific condition. Thank you, Rosa.
Sports Massage is "Active Massage". That means you will be asked to move within your range of motion while the Massage Therapist is helping you to unwind, or become more balanced, or improve the direction of your movements where you have holds, spasms, injuries, or to make improvements, before, during, and after your periods of training.
Polarity works with fields of energy so that you feel more connected right side / left side, internally / externally, mentally / physically, past / present. Polarity was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone after he studied, and became credentialed, in many fields of health and bodywork, thought about what fundamentals allow each practice to be effective, and worked with those essential lines of energy (etheric, astral). I studied with Dr. Stone's longtime assistant, Dr. Pierre Pannetier. Polarity is done through your clothing and also can be done at any distance from your body.
Deep Tissue Massage is a field with its own history of research, practice and body of training, techniques, and intentions. It is distinct from Swedish Massage's repertoire of strokes and rolling tissues. Deep Tissue work is not deeper Swedish Massage. The very slow, tissue separating strokes are given without lotion. There is often interactive conversation so that both people identify the effects of the processes as they occur. Often the person getting massage will be encouraged to breathe or push against or into the pressure being carried out, which is especially appreciated by people training for, or recovering from, an athletic event, or maladaptive work, home, or other environments..
