Our Body Philosophy
Your concerns about your body are heard. Whether it is stress, cellulite or general debility, our treatments offer a holistic opportunity for you to unwind and be renewed. Our therapists are expertly trained to understand body mechanics and how muscles pain and spasm are related to specific points and insertions. They understand of deep tissue work is appropriate and just at the right pressure. The care given while you are here will restore inner peace and deep relaxation.
Massage Reduces Stress
Techniques used by our therapist include Swedish or Deep Tissue. Each session can be one or the other or a combination of all three.
Swedish Massage is long, gliding strokes. This massage is used for relaxation, boosting circulation and a feeling of well-being.
Deep Tissue Massage is similar to Swedish, however, the depth of each stroke is much deeper, penetrating the painful muscle tissue with kneading and pressure for relief of deep muscle pain.
Professional and perfect pressure for YOU. Draping is appropriate in all body treatments and massage. Please speak frankly with your therapist if you have any modesty concerns.
Our unique massage services include:
Radiant Stone utilizing river and basalt stones to impart the healing energy of moist heat. Very soothing, relaxing and therapeutic.
Cranial-Sacral is a gentle, non-invasive touch technique involving the bones of the skull, face and mouth and extends by a system of hydraulics and membranes to the lower end of the spine (or sacrum). This technique corrects imbalances in the cranio-sacral system and restores health.
Couples Massage is great for newly weds and couples desiring to share the experience together. You may choose the amount of time and the type of massage you want.
Spa Lymph Drainage is a full body and facial massage which targets the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system not only serves to clean the tissues through drainage, but is also a protection and defense mechanism which filters toxins (and waste matter) out of the blood and carries vital nutrients back to the blood stream. The lymphatic system maintains the fluid balance of your internal body.
G-5 Massage Therapy System simultaneously produces vibratory and percussion massage which is great for poor circulation. This two-force action when combined with the therapist directional stroking is effective in dislodging and mobilizing secretions and metabolic by-products, especially effective for lymphatic drainage and detoxification. A great treatment for cellulite, trigger point therapy, reflexology and detoxification treatments.
Pregnancy Massage shares many of the goals of regular massage — to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But it’s also tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and our therapists are trained to adjust their techniques accordingly. Positioning during your massage is critical to the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby she is carrying. Choose the time you want from our Full Body Massage list below. No extra charge, just extra care is given.
Massage CuppingMassage cupping utilizes suction and negative pressure to drain excess fluids, and toxins, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles and stimulates the peripheral nervous system.
