At Raffi’s Rehab, every massage session is designed specifically to your needs. I draw from a wide range of techniques to create a massage that fits your goals. Whether you’re looking for deep relaxation, targeted pain relief, or improved mobility, each session is intentionally designed to help you feel better in your body and move with ease.

The most common techniques I use are:
-Swedish: or Classical massage is the most well known style of massage. It is designed to promote relaxation and improve circulation by using smooth, flowing strokes. The work typically moves towards the heart using long gliding motions, gentle kneading, and rhythmic tapping. Pressure is usually light to moderate and helps reduce surface level tension. This technique is designed for stress relief and easing mild muscle tension.
-Deep Tissue Massage: focuses on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. A lot of technique arrive from Swedish massage, except pressure is applied more slowly and deeper. This technique is used to help release tight areas and break up adhesions. Sensation can be intense at times, but the work should always feel controlled and therapeutic. This approach is well suited for those experiencing chronic pain.
-Myofascial Release: targets the fascia (connective tissue) that surrounds muscles, organs, and joints. This technique often uses sustained pressure and slow stretching to release restriction in the fascial system. This is especially effective for areas of chronic tension.
-Assisted Stretching: involves gently guiding the body through stretches while remaining relaxed. This allows for deeper, more effective stretching than you might achieve on your own without straining the joints. Assisted stretching is ideal for improving flexibility, relieving joint tension, enhancing athletic performance, and supporting recovery from physical activity.

Most session include a combination of these techniques rather than just focusing on one. Sessions typically begin with lighter pressure to help warm up the muscle and ease surface level tension while calming the nervous system. Then we progress into deeper, more targeted work to the areas that are requested. Every massage is customized in real time based on how your body responds ensuring the work is effective, intentional, and aligned with your goals. After your session, we’ll go over the work that was done and how your body responded. If interested, I am happy to recommend exercises, stretches, or even suggestions for future sessions so you can leave feeling informed, supported, and on track to getting better.
