SUMMIT HQ SERVICES

1. Deep Tissue Massage

This technique applies sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. By physically breaking down adhesions and scar tissue, deep tissue massage restores normal movement and reduces pain.

It's particularly effective for individuals suffering from chronic pain, deep-seated tension, or conditions such as arthritis and muscle injuries. This type of massage helps decrease inflammation and increase mobility, aiding in long-term recovery.

2. Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage

This focused therapy concentrates on the muscles around the head, neck, and shoulders. Using various hand movements and pressures, it addresses key areas susceptible to tension accumulation.

This is ideal for office workers and those experiencing posture-related discomfort, this massage alleviates stress, improves posture, reduces headaches, and enhances mental clarity, making it crucial for overall cranial health.

3. Hot Stone Massage

Smooth, heated stones are placed on specific parts of the body and used as an extension of the therapist’s hands. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work more deeply and efficiently. 

The warmth not only promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation but also boosts circulation and blood flow within the body. This reduces muscle stiffness and increases flexibility, providing a comforting and distinct relaxation experience.

4. Remedial Massage

Tailored to treat specific ailments, this therapeutic approach involves comprehensive assessments by therapists to identify the underlying causes of discomfort. Techniques vary based on the diagnosis but generally focus on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. 

Our Remedial massage is effective for enhancing mobility, addressing pain management, and aiding rehabilitation. It's supported by clinical studies showing its efficacy in treating a range of physical issues, from injuries to chronic conditions.

5. Signature Massage

This customized treatment combines elements from various massage techniques tailored to meet individual health requirements. It’s dynamically adjusted based on the client’s feedback and therapeutic needs during the session. 

By addressing specific health concerns and preferences, this massage offers stress relief, reduced anxiety, and alleviation of muscle fatigue, promoting holistic well-being and mental health.
