BLISSFULLY AWESOME 60/90 mins

Inhalation and application of essential oils down the full length of the back sealed with steamed towel to encourage deeper relaxation, steamed towels to the feet at the start and end of the massage. Swedish technique is complimented with water-heated basalt stones melting away any residue of tension!

 

SWEDISH 60/90 mins

A gentle yet vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered/draped by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed. A combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements is performed with the application of enriching lotion, oil or crème! Benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury. It is a great introduction to massage for first timers and senior citizens!

 

DEEP PRESSURE 60/90 mins

Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep pressure massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It is supportive of chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendonitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques to allow the innate intelligence of the body to be realized towards ultimate healing.
