MASSAGES

Swedish Massage
50 min/ 80 min

Swedish massage is based principally in a combination of five strokes, all related to the circulatory system. These strokes help to manipulate the muscles and connective tissues of the body. Therapists apply circular movements on superficial layers of injured tissue using massage lotion or oil to diminish friction on the skin. The patient wears a sheet during the session with only the area being treated on exposed.

Deep Tissue Massage
50 min / 80 min

It treats the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue of the body to alleviate chronic pain, inflammation and injury. Therapists utilize slow strokes or friction/pressure techniques across the grain of the muscle with the fingers, thumbs or elbows. The purpose is to reshape and realign the muscles and connective tissue, recovering habitual holding patterns. Patients often feel sore after taking the massage but the benefits are significant.

Lava Shell Massage
50 min / 80 min

Lava shell massage is similar to hot stone massage. Instead of stones, the therapist will use between one and four heated tiger striped clam shells from the Philippines to massage your body. Different parts of these exotic shells are used to complement various massage strokes. The knob on the back of the shell are used to work away tight knots. The smooth surface of the shell is ideal for applying gentle pressure to calves and arms, and the narrow edge of the lava shell is used to work around tense shoulder blades or between your toes.
