Descriptions of Treatments

Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is a fluid head-to-toe, massage sequence that integrates classic Swedish style massage with deeper pressure upon request to release tension especially in neck, shoulders and lower back.  This massage is both relaxing and rejuvenating and is the ideal choice for de-stressing from the rigors of daily living. Note: Available every day, 55 or 85 min. sessions.

Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue takes Therapeutic Massage a step further to include a wide variety of deep pressure applied with hands, fingers, forearms and elbows to loosen, coax and melt stiff muscles in any part of the body into a state of relaxation and balance.  This treatment is the ideal remedy for chronic muscle tension.  Note: Offered most days depending on available practitioner, 55 or 85 min. session

Clinical Sports Massage
Although Clinical Sports Massage is generally associated with various kinds of sports and athletics, almost anyone who is physically active can benefit from these highly therapeutic techniques.  Clinical sports massage goes several steps further then either Therapeutic Massage or Deep Tissue to address common injuries and complaints associated with daily living and aging populations as well as sports related conditions. Note: Based on availability of trained practitioner, 55 or 85 min. session.

Reflexology
This holistic healing technique assists in the rebalancing and harmonizing of the entire body through stimulating precise reflex points in the feet and hands.  Reflexology is based on the premise that feet and hands represent a microcosm of the body; where all organs, glands and other body parts are represented through a specific point.  This one hour treatment enhances your sense of well-being and relaxation as you are brought to a greater level of health. Note: Based on availability of trained practitioner, 55 min. session.

Hot and Cool Stone Massage
Oil applied to the body begins your journey with both hot and cool stone massage.  Massage with the hot basalt stones penetrates deeply into the muscle tissue relieving pain and tension.  Then the cool jade stones flush blood from the area creating a dynamic contrast both relaxing and at the same time energizing and exhilarating.  If you have had only hot stone massage in the past you will definitely notice the difference in this unique approach to stone therapy. Note: One day advance notice required, based on availability of trained practitioner, 85 min. session (minimum)

Pregnancy Massage
This massage focuses on the needs of the mother-to-be enhancing the function of muscles and joints, improving circulation and relieving mental and physical fatigue.  The pregnant woman may lie on her side propped up with pillows or face down on specially designed pregnancy tables.
Note: Not available until after the first trimester, based on availability of trained practitioner, 55 or 85 min. sessions. 

Lymphatic Massage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a profound technique to help increase the bodies natural flow of lymph by increasing lymphatic circulation through the body's natural filtration systems. Light flowing strokes over lymphatic pathways stimulate release of waste residue throughout the body, releasing stress and creating a feeling of well being, balance and a sense of wholeness. Note: Based on availability of trained practitioner, 85 min. session (minimum)
