About Our Massage Treatments & Spa Therapies

If you have received massages previously or are you are preparing to experience your first massage, it is important that you aware of the different types of massage that are available.

With some massages the recipient remains fully dressed. Others call for the recipient to disrobe partially or fully. There are some massages that are performed with deep penetrating strokes, while others may use little or almost no pressure at all. 

Having an understanding of these differences will make your massage experience that much more pleasurable and allow you to get the results you need.

Below you will find some descriptions of the types of massages that we offer:

• Swedish Body Massage
  The techniques used in Swedish massage are gentle and rhythmic in nature. There are five basic strokes, all flowing towards the heart. These are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. With Swedish Body Massage therapists will typically use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrating, rhythmic tapping movements. This is usually accompanied by applying oil to reduce skin friction. Swedish massage can shorten the time it takes to recover from muscular strain by expelling lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic wastes from the skin tissue. This process also speeds the venous return of un-oxygenated blood and toxins from the extremities.
   
• Head Massage
  Our head massage starts by massaging the scalp and temple area. This allows for good circulation in the scalp and releasing tension. It is also good for working on headaches and sinus congestion.
   
• Lymphatic Drainage Massage
  A therapeutic massage where the therapist uses a gentle “pumping technique” that drains away pockets of water retention and toxins that are trapped in the body. Many consider Lymph Drainage to be an anti-aging treatment.
