Here at Tara Massage in Perth we offer a wide range of massage therapies designed to meet the needs of a varied customer base, so when you look at our offerings you might wonder ‘what is the right massage for me?’

In this article we’ll take a closer look at the many different kinds of massage we offer and by the end you’ll know exactly what to request when you book a massage with one of our talented and professional massage therapists.

  1. Deep Tissue Massage

This kind of massage is ideal if you’re suffering from tense muscles, injuries or even chronic pain as it is able to reduce overall inflammation to a specific area, relieve pain and improve the blood flow. We use slow and deep strokes on the key areas of your body which are causing you issues, and this repeated pressure using a variety of massage techniques is able to target those painful areas deep down. If you find yourself with persistent upper or lower back pain, a stiff neck from sitting down at work all day or tightness in your leg muscles, a firm deep tissue massage is what you need.

  1. Remedial Massage

Muscles are an important part of how our bodies function, and this specific kind of massage is for muscles which feel tense or knotted, and even those suffering damage from work or at the gym. Stretching techniques are used here to apply pressure along the length of the muscle with a remedial massage so it’s perfect for those with musculoskeletal problems, need help recovering from an injury, have mobility problems with joints or needs special attention to their lymphatic drainage.

  1. Thai Aromatherapy Massage

One of the most popular massages because it combines wonderful scents with a calm and rhythmic massage. Enjoy the scents of the Orient with patchouli and ylang ylang oils released into the air as your body is gently stretched and pulled by the healing hands of one of our professional massage therapists. A Thai aromatherapy massage is purely for pleasure and it seeks to help you relax, sleep better and reduce the effects of stress and anxiety in your life. An all-round mood booster when you need it the most.

  1. Maintenance Massage

With a maintenance massage you can expect a combination of Swedish relaxation techniques and a more thorough deep tissue massage. It’s useful if you’re doing everything you can to keep your body in good shape with frequent exercise, but need the reassurance that your muscles can stay flexible, that you’re not going to injure yourself in the gym and want to promote general good health and stress management. A maintenance massage can be conducted as frequently as you wish, and we recommend once a fortnight or once a month to keep your body in tip top condition.

  1. Pregnancy Massage

The miracle of creating life can take a real toll on a woman’s body as it changes and adjusts to the new life growing within. Massages aren’t recommended for the first trimester, but from three or four months as you’re beginning to show, they can be a helpful way to reduce swelling, back pain and leg pains. Cramps can be common during the later stages of pregnancy, and the healing hands of our massage therapists are there to relieve that tension in a way that is safe to both mother and baby. A pregnancy massage can also help you to sleep better as your pregnancy reaches its final stages.

  1. Traditional Thai Massage

If you’ve been having trouble with tense muscles, limited range of motion or have become conscious that you’re not as flexible as you’d like to be, then a traditional Thai massage is for you. Using a blend of yoga positionings, acupressure and Ayurvedic techniques your therapist will stretch and bend you into better health which releases tension like nothing else. It promotes your overall wellbeing and many customers report that it boosts energy levels as the energy lines in your body become more open and range of movement increases.

  1. Sports Massage

Ideal for athletes looking to keep their body in good shape, prevent injury during training and recover their muscles quickly after sporting events. Deep tissues are stimulated and other techniques including stretching and compression are used, always tailored to each customer according to their specific needs. Muscles can become stiff if not properly taken care of after a period of physical activity, so our sports massage therapists make sure to keep your athletic performance at the top of its game by keeping your joints and muscles flexible and ready to take on whatever athletic goals you have in mind.

  1. Relaxation Massage

This style of massage is also called a Swedish massage and the purpose of it is to keep you relaxed and free of stress in your mind as well as your body. It’s the kind of massage that you will enjoy from start to finish as there are no deep movements along pressure points, but instead gentle flowing motions, repetitive kneading and blissful circular movements are used on the uppermost muscles to give you a feeling of relaxation like nothing else. Choose a relaxation massage if you want to leave feeling utterly relaxed, free of stress, anxiety and ready for the best night’s sleep you’ve ever had.

  1. Couples Relaxation Massage

When you’re looking for a couples activity with a difference, there’s no better way to enjoy each other’s company than to book a couples relaxation massage. Together in the same room with calming music, dreamy scents and a separate massage therapist for each of you, you will begin to unwind and destress. It’s the ideal treat for a special occasion such as an anniversary or birthday, and the perfect way to surprise your partner in a way that will leave them mentally and physically refreshed.

  1. Reflexology Massage

A reflexology massage is used for pain management and boosting the circulation in your body to combat a range of health issues. Unlike many of the massages listed above, a reflexology massage will focus on areas of your body like the hands, feet, scalp and face as pressure points are targeted for stimulation. It helps to reduce stress and is great for those with problems concerning their organs or various systems the body uses to function, including the lymphatic system and nervous system.
