MASSAGE TYPES & TECHNIQUES
Massage can be customized with different techniques.
The following approaches may be incorporated into a Massage Therapy appointment based on your preferences, treatment goals and therapist assessment.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage at Tranquil Touch Massage Therapy in Lynnwood, WA, provides gentle, customized therapeutic care for expectant mothers. Using pregnancy-safe positioning and massage techniques, each session is designed to help relieve muscle tension, ease common pregnancy-related discomfort, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Treatments are tailored to your stage of pregnancy, individual needs, and comfort level.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage uses long, flowing strokes, kneading and other relaxation-focused techniques to promote a calm experience and address general muscular tension. Pressure can be adjusted to your comfort level, making it a useful choice for clients who want a traditional full-body massage centered on relaxation and everyday wellness.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage uses slower, more focused techniques and firmer pressure to work on deeper layers of muscular tension. It may be appropriate when you prefer concentrated attention to chronically tight or overworked areas. Pressure is still adjusted to your comfort and should not be treated as a requirement to tolerate excessive discomfort.
Trigger Point Massage
Trigger Point Massage focuses on specific localized areas of muscular tightness or sensitivity. Rather than treating the entire session the same way, the therapist applies focused work to selected areas and surrounding tissue to help reduce tension and improve comfort while remaining within the scope of massage therapy.
Stretch Add-On
Assisted Stretch techniques may be incorporated into a massage appointment to complement hands-on bodywork and support comfortable mobility. Stretching is selected based on your needs and tolerance and may focus on areas that feel restricted or tight rather than following a one-size-fits-all flexibility routine.
Percussive Therapy Add-On
Percussive Therapy uses a handheld percussion device to deliver rapid, controlled pulses to selected muscle groups. When appropriate, it can be incorporated into a massage session as another way to address muscular tightness and prepare or complement hands-on work. Your therapist determines whether it is suitable for the areas being treated.
Hot Stone Add-On
Hot Stone is an optional massage enhancement that uses comfortably warmed stones as part of the session. The warmth can complement relaxation and hands-on massage while adding a different sensory element to the appointment. Current add-on pricing was not provided for the website, so clients should contact Tranquil Touch for availability and pricing.
Cupping Add-On
Cupping is available as an optional massage add-on when appropriate. Cups create localized suction on selected areas and may be used alongside standard massage techniques as part of a customized session. Contact Tranquil Touch before booking if you would like cupping added so current availability and pricing can be confirmed.
