Swedish Massage...... $60
This is the most popular type of massage offered by therapists. Swedish massage involves deep pressure and a variety of intensive massage techniques such as kneading, tapping and stroking. Men and women of all ages and physical conditions seek out the benefits of Swedish massage. People rely on Swedish massage therapy to support good health and to manage a variety of health conditions. Swedish massage is used for pain management, to improve circulation and to help individuals recover from injury. It is even used as a form of therapy for anxiety and depression. Perfect for relaxation.
Deep Tissue Massage .....$90
This is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")
How Fast Will I Get Results With A Deep Tissue Massage?
It's important to be realistic about what one massage can achieve. Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. This just won't happen. In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, work on your posture and ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage.
Hot Stone Massage....$100
Hot stones are usually made of basalt, a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they retain heat. The stones are immersed in water and heated in an electric device until they are just the right temperature. The stones may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand or between the toes. The heat warms and relaxes the muscle which allows the therapist to work the muscle without using deep pressure. The warmth of the stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. Hot stones are used for back pain and aches, tension, osteoporosis, arthritis, stress, anxiety, insomnia, poor circulation and depression.
