Deep tissue massages come in various forms, such as trigger point therapy, neuromuscular therapy and integrative connective tissue work. These techniques can be incorporated into almost any massage modality, and any amount of pressure can be used.
A deep tissue massage has been known to relieve chronic pain in some body regions, improve blood pressure, break up scar tissue, and relieve stress and tension.
Like a Swedish massage, a deep tissue massage is coupled with some intense pressure, which is beneficial in releasing tension throughout the body.
Massage is not a “no pain, no gain” scenario. The pressure that is best for you is whatever pressure feels therapeutic and enjoyable to you.
You should be able to breathe normally and keep your body relaxed. Any massage that makes you tense up your body is counterproductive to your therapy.

It’s getting “hammy” at your King Smokehouse. Felix understands that a lot of his customers don’t need (or want) a whole ham. Or they want a whole ham and some convenience ham as well. What, you ask, is convenience ham? Simply the latest and for some, the greatest from King Smokehouse. You can now buy your tender, lovingly cured and smoked Smokehouse Ham in a variety of ways. Whole hams to star on your table. Center cut sliced ham just the ticket for your sandwiches. Diced ham (hand cut from our fabulous whole hams – not the leftover ends and pieces) perfect for omelets and casseroles. Ground ham (again hand ground from the whole ham) perfect for salads and limited only by your imagination (try it in your next batch of biscuits!). So know you know when we say we are the “hammiest” folks in Cuenca. Packaged for ease of use in ½ and 1 pound packages and vacuum sealed for freshness. You can’t go wrong at King Smokehouse. Head on down to the Tienda Gourmet and get in the ham groove. Just across from the Parque San Sebastian. Stop and shop then enjoy one of Cuenca’s most beautiful parks. Coronel Talbot and Simon Bolivar open 6 days a week for you.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound produced naturally in the body.
It is an essential element for many health systems since it is required to function in every single cell in the body properly. In order to sustain enough energy to perform bodily functions, the mitochondria in our cells use fat and other nutrients to create useable energy sources- this critical conversion process is only made possible by enough CoQ10.
Coq10 is a highly potent antioxidant used in medical practice to protect cells from the effects of aging and free radicals.
Although the body creates its CoQ10, it does not always do so consistently or adequately. As we age or become ill, our bodies can become less efficient at producing this essential compound, and a lack of CoQ10 is associated with decreased energy, the damaging effects of oxidative stress, declining cognition, Diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia, heart disease, muscle conditions, and other health ailments.
Therapeutic benefits of CoQ10.
• Sustains natural energy
• Combats Cancer
• Reduces free radical damage
• Reduces the effect of Diabetes

After reading recommendations for Luigi, I called him in March. We have some problem walls that continually bubble and have salt inside the walls. Luigi came, fixed and completed the work in a week. It wasn’t just a paint job, as he had to scrape, neutralize, wash, apply a salitre solution, then wash again, plaster the walls, sand them and finally paint. His price was right. He did a great job.
Now (August) he is working for me again – painting the dormers on the third floor of the house and all the eaves. He is punctual, communicates clearly, and does a good job painting. We didn’t have ladders that were tall enough to reach the eaves, so he figured out a way to combine them safely and complete the job.
One thing about Luigi: although he speaks English and Spanish, he comes to work – not to waste time visiting with people. He was totally focused on the plan and helpfully discussed the project, accompanied me to buy the right kind of paint – and that resulted in a learning experience. The paint I wanted to apply was going to bubble up again. So, we chose something else.
His estimates of the quantity of paint and supplies needed were excellent and he brought his own tools, buckets, plastic sheet to protect surfaces. He painted quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after himself. He also repaired some holes in the walls.

Massage can play a critical role in the recovery process after joint-replacement surgery.
Hip- and knee-replacement surgery offers a path to pain-free mobility, but they usually come with long and arduous recoveries. Massage therapy can play a crucial role in the recovery process.
Massage can soothe the guarding reaction of tissues, helping them to return to normal function.
Additionally, lymphatic drainage massage is useful in reducing pain and swelling and should, in many cases, be considered a core part of the broader post-surgical therapeutic protocol.
Massage can also address other common post-surgery issues, such as the buildup of scar tissue that often accompanies hip and knee procedures.
I am a specialist in lymphatic massage who will consider your particular needs to give you the best and most satisfying experience. I also can help you with rehabilitation exercises or IVs to help you heal.
Schedule your in-home 90-minute massage on the day and time that suits you best.
Massage costs USD 45

And the ribs, oh my, oh my. These are THE Ribs from Rib Heaven. Tender, fall off the bone and ready to heat and eat (no hours spent over the grill or looking at the smoker – we did all the work for you!). Our ribs are sourced from a small farmer who cuts and trims them by hand – no machines here just good old-fashioned farm raised pigs. Then they come fresh to us and we carefully do the final trim, season, rub, and smoke smoke smoke. Once they are perfectly smoked then Felix finishes them off and lightly sauces them, so they are ready to heat and eat. In your oven, slow cooker, on top of the stove, so easy all you have to do is enjoy. Think about a delicious rack of ribs along with some good old fashioned cole slaw and some hot out of the oven Mountain Home Gourmet corn muffins. Truly lip smacking good. All ribs are sold by the pound with each package just a hair over a pound and vacuum sealed for freshness. This week they are only $8.00 per pound and for every three packages you purchase you will receive our Carolina Sweet Salley Barbecue Sauce to slather on your ribs and mop up with that good country cornbread.
