The Tri-County YMCA offers Massage Therapy in 30 or 60 minute sessions by appointment only. 

Swedish Massage - Sometimes called relaxation massage, Swedish massage is a fluid and relaxing form of massage therapy.  Oil or lotion is used in the massage, and techniques focus on increasing circulation, pumping wastes out of muscle tissue, and increasing joint range of motion.

Deep Tissue Massage - A form of massage therapy focused on the release of muscle tension and trigger points.  Deep tissue massage can be used to release patterns of tension which cause chronic pain such as headaches.

Thai Yoga Massage - A form of massage from Thailand in which the practitioner uses rhythmic rocking movements to massage along energy lines and move the client through yoga postures.  Thai yoga massage increases flexibility and mobility of the joints, releases muscle tension, and increases the flow of energy.
