Swedish Massage

A relaxing full-body massage incorporating effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, percussion, and kneading through long strokes and gentle pressures.

This particular type of massage relieves muscle and emotional tensions, fatigue, and improves skin tone and flexibility.

Deep Tissue

This will assist restoration of normal ranges of motion to your injured muscles and joints using gentle pressures and compressions.

Its purpose is to enhance muscle coordination and endurance for those who demand peak performance. This technique also uses trigger point therapy, in which pressure on a tension point in the muscle is sustained until it releases.

Stone Massage Treatments

Its main benefit is a deeper massage resulting from the use of heat, but is not for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions.
