Targeted therapy, also known as focused massage therapy, is a technique that aims to alleviate pain and discomfort by addressing specific problem areas in the body. Unlike general massage techniques that provide overall relaxation, targeted therapy focuses on the root cause of the pain. It involves using precise and specific massage techniques to target the muscles and tissues affected by the discomfort.

Targeted therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves applying pressure, kneading, and stretching techniques to targeted areas of the body. By focusing on the source of the pain, targeted therapy aims to provide immediate relief and promote healing.

When it comes to targeted therapy, the importance of focused massage techniques cannot be overstated. These techniques are specifically designed to address the exact areas of pain and discomfort. By applying pressure and manipulating the affected muscles, targeted therapy helps release tension, reduce inflammation, and improve blood circulation in the targeted area. This focused approach allows for a more efficient and effective treatment for neck and shoulder relief.

Thai massage is also known as Thai Yoga Massage, or informally as "the lazy person's yoga- combines assisted yoga with acupressure techniques. The therapist will incorporate yogic stretching movements as they knead and press muscles along the body's energy line with the hands and feet. Thai massage combines the principles of acupressure whereby the Sen is stimulated, which is said to balance the energy system in the body.

A postpartum massage is just as important as prenatal massage. Growing a baby for 9 months and the marathon of childbirth certainly take a toll on your body.
Our body recovers fastest with proper sleep, rest, light movement, nutrition and hydration. Most new moms are so busy taking care of their new baby that little time is left for themselves.

Not to mention, caring for a new baby adds a new host of aches and pains and it is important to address them to avoid long term injuries. Postpartum massage can also have a positive impact on your mental health and help with postpartum depression.

What is a postnatal Massage?
Postpartum massage is a massage received anytime after giving birth up to a year postpartum.

When can a new mom start a postpartum massage?
A new mom can begin to receive a postpartum massage as soon as the day after giving birth! A post-delivery massage within the first 4 days is highly recommended, at Mama Mobile we call this a “labour recovery massage”.

The purpose of this postpartum massage is to help you recover from the marathon of labour.

This labour recovery massage is slightly different than a typical massage. Instead of using deep targeted pressure points your postpartum massage therapist will use very light pressure and broad strokes. Rather than focusing on a few sore muscles your postpartum massage therapist will perform a full body massage. The aim of this massage is to help you relax and to boost circulation in your body.

The most popular form of massage, it involves long, flowing strokes along with kneading and circular movements. Usually the whole body is massaged, hands, feet and scalp included. It's used for its deep relaxation benefits for mind and body. This type of massage is suitable for people that enjoy light to moderate pressure only. Great for relieving stress, increases blood flow to muscles which in turn increases nutrients to them, aiding recovery, and relieve pain. Helps improve sleep, increased flexibility, and improve immune system.

Swedish massage is the basis for deep tissue massage techniques. These two massages are different, yet share many similarities. The main difference between the two is the amount of pressure applied by the therapist.

Under Swedish massage, therapists use long strokes and light pressure to offer gentle relaxation to the body. Deep tissue massage uses more pressure to release tension deep in the muscles and connective tissues of the body.

Pediatric massage between 2 to 16 years old. This treatment involves the gentle manipulation of soft tissues to enhance health and well-being in kids and teens. Nurturing touch is crucial for helping children grow into well-adjusted adults, and massage is an excellent way to provide that care. Kids respond very well to massage, which positively stimulates their bodies to support growth and development.

Massage is beneficial at any age, but it is particularly advantageous for children and teens who are still developing. Pediatric massage therapy considers each child's unique physical and cognitive growth, as well as their health needs.

Research shows that child and youth massage can improve sleep, reduce stress, alleviate growing pains, and correct muscle tone imbalances. It also helps relieve tension and pain in developing muscles, which supports the growth of motor skills. Additionally, studies indicate that massage can enhance concentration, increase focus, and lower aggression levels in children. Some researchers even suggest that regular massage therapy may lead to higher IQ levels in kids.

Children experience physical strain just like adults. They face postural issues daily, such as carrying heavy backpacks, slouching while sitting in school, or playing video games for extended periods. Many kids also engage in sports multiple times a week, which can lead to muscle strains and injuries. Massage helps relieve their sore muscles and joints, boosts blood flow for better circulation, corrects muscle imbalances, and creates a calming environment to ease anxiety and hyperactivity.
