Deep Tissue massages use similar strokes to the Swedish massage but pressures are longer, firmer and focus on areas of pain and tension. The therapist manipulates muscles that are below the surface of the top muscles and the connective tissues. “Against grain” strokes are used to break fiber adhesion, oxygenize the muscles and get rid of toxins.
This classic European technique of manipulating muscles with aromatic massage oil is both relaxing and invigorating. While providing a tonic for the soul, this massage can help improve the function of the circulatory, lymphatic, muscular and nervous systems.
Hot stone massage promotes relaxation and opens the energy pathways. The warmth helps release tight muscles and enhances the soothing effect of the pressure. It also expands blood vessels and therefore improves blood circulation throughout the body.
A couples massage is a wonderfully relaxing, personal experience. During the session, two people receive massages at the same time and in the same room from two different therapists. The therapy provides many of the same benefits as other types of massage but with some added bonuses.
Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). We do cupping as seen used by the OLYMPIANS DURING THE OLYMPICS.
Our 4 Hands Swedish or deep tissue massage is recommended for those who want to give themselves the experience of a full body massage with double the hands. Both therapists will spend time massaging your neck, shoulders, back, and legs. The added hands will do wonders to alleviate any tension, muscle spasms, and stress. Warning: Very Addictive.
Moxibustion is a kind of external treatment; it is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and it usually bakes acupoints with burning moxa wool. Moxibustion can dredge meridians and regulate qi-blood and has been used to prevent and cure diseases for more than 2500 years.
Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain. |
