Our spa specializes in medical massage that focuses on physical healing and rehabilitation of the body to improve your overall well-being. We also offer many techniques in wellness massage that center around relieving stress and anxiety, as you renew and replenish your body, mind and soul. There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress.
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.
Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology stimulates reflex areas in the hands, feet or ears that correspond to glands and organs in the body. Correct stimulation relieves stress and tension and relaxes the whole body. The purpose of Reflexology is to normalize the body’s functioning, facilitate healing and revitalize total health. It also aids in blood and lymph circulation, strengthens the functioning of the immune system and calms the nervous system.
What can be expected during a Reflexology session?
As the reflex areas of your feet and hands are stimulated, you may experience some pin-prick sensations which reflect tensions in the corresponding part of your body. If the therapy is not comfortable, the amount of pressure should be decreased.
How does Reflexology help relieve stress?
Reflexology encourages the body to function better and relieves stress through lymphatic drainage, circulation, breaking down calcification between nerve pathways and muscle relaxation.
How does Reflexology correspond with the body?
The body is divided into ten zones, with five on each side of the body. Each organ or part of the body is represented in the hands or feet. The practitioner can diagnose abnormalities in the body by feeling the hands and feet. By massaging or pressing each area, the flow of energy, blood, nutrients and nerve impulses are stimulated.
Massage Menu
Hot Stone Massage (60 minutes – $95 or 75 minutes $115)
Many ancient traditions have relied upon the healing properties of hot stones. The affects of heat have been proven to release tight muscles, restore fluidity to connective tissues and joints, and trigger a relaxation response in the nervous system. The stones act as an extension of your therapist’s healing hands, the warmth sinking into the muscles and bones, bringing you to the deepest level of relaxation and renewal.
Swedish Massage (90 minutes $110, 60 minutes – $80 or 30 minutes – $60)
A gentle relaxing massage of long strokes, kneading, percussion and vibration. This technique works more on superficial layers of muscle and may be used in combination with active/passive joint movements.
Deep Tissue Massage (90 minutes $120, 60 minutes – $90 or 30 minutes – $60)
