OUR MASSAGE OFFERINGS
There are almost as many types of massage available as there are benefits to the practice. When determining what type of massage you want it is important to align the specific massage therapy with the result you are seeking. We can help you match our offerings to your specific needs.
All massage clients have access to a complimentary shower area after service and choice of aromatherapy. Incorporate any massage with a sauna or float session for a perfect spa day.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage is unquestionably one of the most recognized and popular massages techniques offered. During a Swedish massage, your therapist will first apply massage oil or lotion to your body and then employ long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. These purposeful movements help to warm your muscle tissue, release tension, and release those tight “knots” you may have been experiencing in your neck, shoulders, or back. Your therapist may also incorporate techniques, for example, circular pressure applied hands and palms, a firm kneading of the muscles, a percussion-like tapping, and stretching of the joints and muscles.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage involves manipulation of the deep layers of tissue in the body, including the fascia and other supportive tissue that make up the muscles and joints. Compared to other popular massage techniques which tend to be lighter in pressure and can involve moving the body into certain positions — deep tissue massage is usually slower and firmer. Whether you’re an athlete with a daily high demand placed on your body or recovering from an injury or illness, deep tissue massage likely has some benefits to offer you.
