We can help reverse injuries caused by repetitive motion, poor posture, and poor lifting habits. Maidstone Massage is proud to offer the following services:

Swedish Massage

Calm your mind, body, and spirit with a massage at your requested intensity. This massage will alleviate stiffness and fatigue as well as improve circulation. Swedish Massage is general whole body massage using oils on the skin to facilitate treatment. This is the basis of all Western forms of massage treatment.

Deep-Tissue Massage

This massage uses slow strokes and deep pressure to work on tight areas to release specific muscle tension and restore flexibility. Deep-Tissue Massage is generally slower than Swedish, this technique goes deeper into the muscle and connective tissue to release chronic tension which might have developed from injury or overuse.

Stone Massage

Luxurious and relaxing massage combined with deep heat therapy. Stones are heated and incorporated into the massage. Stone Massage is a form of bodywork that involves the application of heated stones to the body during deep tissue massage. Stone Therapy causes expansion and contraction of the circulatory system, improving the function of your lymphatic and immune systems, and enhancing your body’s self-healing mechanisms. This style of bodywork takes you into deep states of relaxation, releasing stress and anxiety, detoxifying the body, and balancing your nervous system.

Prenatal Massage

A full body massage during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters that promotes a comfortable low stress pregnancy. Gentle and relaxing, this is a must for moms-to-be. Great for baby too! Massage during pregnancy offers undeniable physical benefits throughout every prenatal stage. Research has shown that women who receive massage while pregnant may have easier deliveries, a reduced chance of post-partum depression, and regain their bodies more quickly. In most cases, massage is perfectly safe and can help the mother-to-be relieve general body aches, pains, and tension that her body is going through while also feeling pampered at the same time.

   Benefits:

Each trimester bring its own issues, which can be helped with massage, but throughout the whole pregnancy, benefits include:

• Stimulating blood flow (may prevent anemia)
• Increase muscle tone and flexibility (alleviating muscle cramps and spasms)
• Stimulates lymphatic system (may help prevent/reduce edema)
• Relieve headaches
• Help alleviate morning sickness
• Reduce fatigue
• Alleviate backaches and leg cramps
• Enhance sleep
• Relieving aches and pains
• Alleviate stress on weight-bearing joints
• Learn relaxation skills
• Release physical and emotional tension

When prenatal massage should be avoided:

Most normal low-risk pregnancies can receive massage with no problem. However if the pregnancy is high-risk or conditions such as pre-term labor, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, DVT, or severe edema are present, massage may not be advised. Women with any of these conditions need a doctor's authorization before proceeding with a massage, and even if none of the conditions exist, it is still a good idea to double-check with your doctor first.

A massage makes the perfect gift. We have gift certificates available. Call for details.
