Renika Watson is a licensed massage therapist and owner of Renika Marie’s Therapeutic Massage with specialty in Swedish and Deep
Tissue massage.
Swedish Massage
A gentle full-body massage that is great for people new to massage and want to release tension or desire a gentle touch. It can help release muscle knots, and it’s a good choice for when you want to fully relax during a massage. Therapist will use a combination of kneading, long
flowing strokes in the direction of the heart, deep circular motions, vibration, tapping, and
passive joint movement techniques.
Deep Tissue
A deep tissue massage consists of slow strokes and deep finger pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues. Deep tissue massage encompasses a variety of therapeutic techniques designed to reach and manipulate the layers of soft tissue
beneath the skin’s surface. This approach to massage therapy is designed to relax and lengthen these tissues, promoting injury recovery, pain relief and the restoration of proper posture and body mechanics.
