Massage Services at Manicure+: Swedish, Thai, and Registered Massage
Understanding Techniques, Differences, and Customer Expectations
Manicure+ offers a variety of massage services tailored to meet the needs and preferences of our clients. Here is an in-depth look at our Swedish Massage, Thai Massage, and Registered Massage services, along with their unique features and differences.
Swedish Massage Service
Swedish Massage is a classic massage technique that promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and eases muscle tension. It is ideal for clients looking for a soothing experience to unwind and rejuvenate.
[Techniques]
This service primarily focuses on long, gliding strokes, kneading, and rhythmic tapping. Therapists may also use circular motions and gentle vibrations to enhance the experience.
[Pressure]
The pressure applied is typically light to medium to deep, depending on the client’s preference. It aims to relax the muscles without causing discomfort.
[What to Wear]
Clients are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing or disrobe to their comfort level under the provided sheet and blanket for modesty.
[Hypoallergenic Products]
We use hypoallergenic lotions and oils to ensure compatibility with sensitive skin.
[Post-Massage Options]
After the massage, clients can opt to have the lotion or oil cleaned off using a hot towel or take a refreshing shower.
Thai Massage Service
Thai Massage is an ancient healing practice that combines acupressure, yoga-like stretching, and rhythmic rocking for a more dynamic and energizing experience. It is perfect for clients seeking to improve body flexibility and relieve deep-seated muscle tension.
[Techniques]
Therapists utilize their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to perform stretches and apply firm pressure along energy lines in the body. This is a dry massage technique, meaning oils and lotions are not commonly used.
[Pressure]
The pressure is firm to deep and involves active participation from the client for stretches and positioning.
[What to Wear]
Comfortable, loose-fitting attire is recommended, as clients remain fully clothed throughout the session.
[Hypoallergenic Products]
Since this service is typically oil-free, hypoallergenic products are not required.
[Post-Massage Options]
No post-massage cleaning is typically necessary due to the absence of oils or lotions.
Registered Massage Service
Our Registered Massage service is performed by certified professionals and is tailored to address specific physical concerns such as chronic pain, injuries, or therapeutic needs. It is ideal for clients seeking a medically-informed approach.
[Techniques]
Techniques range from deep tissue manipulation to myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and more, depending on the client’s requirements.
[Pressure]
The pressure can be adjusted from light to very deep, based on the therapeutic goals and the client’s comfort.
[What to Wear]
Clients typically disrobe to their comfort level while ensuring modest coverage with sheets during the massage.
[Hypoallergenic Products]
Highly sensitive hypoallergenic lotions and oils are used to cater to different skin types and ensure safety.
[Post-Massage Options]
Similar to the Swedish Massage, clients can select a hot towel cleaning or a shower to remove any residue from the products used.
