Samra practices Therapeutic and Bodywork techniques that will reduce a person’s heart rate, blood pressure, increase blood circulation and lymph flow, relax muscles, improve range of motion, and increase endorphins. Although therapeutic massage does not increase the strength of the muscle tissues, it can stimulate weak muscles, inactive muscles, and, thus, create a partial balance in the body that is lacking due to decreased exercise and inactivity resulting from a sedentary life style, injury or illness. Therapeutic Massage can also benefit those who exercise regularly by leading to a more thorough recovery.

Other specific types of massage that Samra offers are Rehabilitative massage with a focus on physical function, ACT (active release techniques), Deep Tissue massage, Deep Muscle Therapy, Myofascial Release which all are devoted to finding points of tension, muscle spasms, and relieving these symptoms. Samra utilizes various massage methods, pressure and stretching to make muscles more supple. Releasing knots in the muscle tissues can trigger a whole body enhancement as supplementary and connected tissues and structures are no longer over-compensating for an injury.
Samra also utilizes heat-preserving warm Basalt Stones for some sessions that help to balance a client’s charka (A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy.) Employment of hand massage to assist with the unblocking of energy and to direct blood and lymph flow throughout the body is also integrated in Basalt Stone sessions. Hot stones are used for encouraging circulation and for easing stiffness; cold stones are applied to aid in inflammation, to encourage blood move away fro a swollen area. Benefits of alternating hot and cold stones during a session will persuade the circulatory system and the self-healing process.
Techniques such as Swedish massage will create friction and do what is referred to as hacking or tapping across a clients back and shoulders to promote the release of tension. Samra combines five basic strokes gliding, kneading, friction, vibrations, and hacking are all applied in the direction of the heart in order to promote blood circulation and bodily waste disposal. Long deep smooth strokes across a clients body with the use of oils decrease friction, and tension.
Sports massage is similar to Swedish massage and is offered because both techniques help heal injuries like muscle sprain and spasms. In athletes long strokes are essential to aid in relaxation and even more importantly disperse lactic acids in the muscles in order to make room for a fresh supply of blood and oxygen. One of the greatest benefits of Sports massage may be that it consists of specific components designed to cut down on sports-related injuries. Specifically, it alleviates muscle tension and inflammation post-event, and provides a warm-up to loosen muscles.
