Massage

Massage therapy is a holistic healing practice that involves the manipulation of soft tissues, such as muscles and connective tissues, to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being. Through the skillful application of various techniques, such as hot stone, deep tissue, or lymphatic drainage, our massage therapists help you reduce stress, improve circulation, and relieve physical discomfort.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a therapeutic technique that incorporates heated stones to enhance the benefits of traditional massage therapy. Smooth, flat, and heated basalt stones are strategically placed on the body or used by the massage therapist as an extension of their hands. The soothing heat from these stones relaxes muscles, increases blood flow, and helps release tension, providing a deeply calming and rejuvenating experience. Hot stone massage can alleviate muscle stiffness, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being.

Deep Tissue Massage

The more medically oriented type of massage is known as deep tissue massage. Deep tissue strokes are slower, more precise movements applied with significant pressure but are intended not to exceed the pain/pressure threshold of the client. This massage addresses the deeper layers of musculature and connective tissue. It is beneficial for those experiencing chronic stress, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, injury, tendonitis, arthritis, and muscle overuse. A deep tissue massage is the perfect conclusion to a workout, a day on the golf course, or the tennis court.

Swedish Massage

The Swedish technique is the most common and most widely performed type of massage. Swedish massage is designed to enhance the circulation of blood and lymph throughout the body. The strokes are from light to moderate pressure and are generally more vigorous than other modalities.

Some benefits of Swedish massage include reduction of stress-related tension and fatigue, enhanced immune system, enhanced sleep patterns, improved concentration, and an overall sense of well-being. It is the perfect reward for a hard day’s work or play.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

The lymph system carries all wastes, toxins, and retained swelling through the body to be disposed of. Occasionally, the lymphatic system can be slowed down due to illness, poor eating habits, or trauma to the body, such as surgery or injury. This massage therapy assists the lymph system in flowing normally. Following surgery, healing is more quickly improved with proper functioning of the lymph system. Lymphatic drainage is recommended before and after facial surgery and for individuals feeling sluggish due to illness or poor eating habits.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a holistic therapy that focuses on the belief that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to various organs and systems within the body. By applying pressure to these reflex points, skilled practitioners aim to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and improve overall well-being.

Reflexology is not only a relaxing experience but is also believed to have potential health benefits, including stress reduction, pain relief, and improved circulation. It’s often used as a complementary therapy to enhance overall wellness.

Hydrotherapy (Upon Request)

Hydrotherapy is a therapeutic approach that harnesses the healing properties of water to promote relaxation and alleviate various health concerns. We offer hydrotherapy as a complimentary service upon request. This treatment may include options like hydro-massage and hot and cold water treatments, each tailored to individual preferences.
