Swedish massage

 60 min/$80     90 min/$115

This massage will cover you from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and will leave you feeling wonderful. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes.

It also increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

Deep tissue

60 min/$95      90 min/$140

Deep Tissue massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or crossing the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia. Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure applied across the grain of the muscles. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue.

Deep Tissue feels good and is beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

Hot Stone

60 min/$130

Hot Stone is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. It is a specialty massage where heated stones are used to perform the massage. The stones are often a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. The heat helps to release tight muscles. The flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain parts of the body.
