Swedish Massage- Swedish massage is the style that comes to mind when most people think about massage. The goal is relaxing the entire body by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin. Deep Tissue Massage - Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but with a focus on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. The movement in deep tissue massage is generally slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain. Clients may experience soreness for a day or two following a deep tissue massage, before the desired benefit of relaxation and pain relief sets in. Hot Stone Massage - Our professional massage therapists incorporate the use of hot stones into your customized massage, to create a healing and relaxing experience. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body, as well as held by the therapist for massaging certain areas of the body. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. Sports Massage - Sports massage is a form of massage which is growing in popularity. It is used by athletes, both professional and amateur, as well as many non-sporting individuals due to its many benefits. A regular sports massage can help prevent injury by improving the condition of the muscles. Sports massage can be used in the treatment of specific injuries, such as hamstring strains, as well as to help correct muscle imbalances, overuse and postural issues. Prenatal/Pregnancy Massage - Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. These changes in hormone levels also led to fewer complications during birth and fewer instances of newborn complications, such as low birth weight. The evidence points strongly to maternal and newborn health benefits when therapeutic massage is incorporated into regular prenatal care. Massage helps to stimulate soft tissues to reduce collection of fluids in swollen joints, which also improves the removal of tissue waste, carried by the body?s lymph system. Miofascial Release - Fascia is the soft tissue component of the connective tissue that provides support and protection for most structures within the human body, including muscle. This soft tissue can become restricted due to disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow. The myofascial release method works through engaging the myofascial tissue restrictive barrier with a constant force until tissue release occurs. Our therapists use their hands, knuckles, and elbows to slowly stretch the restricted fascia, until the deep tissues are released. Mixed Method General Wellness - Our therapists are trained to customize your massage to your individual needs, using any of the above methods, as well as Pain Management, Injury Treatment, Stress Management, Relaxation Techniques, and Chronic Pain Reduction. Chocolate Bliss Massage - Enjoy a Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage with the addition of the sweet, deletable aroma of chocolate body butter cream. Champagne & Rose Massage - Enjoy a Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage with the addition of the rich, romantic, renewing bouquet of Champagne and Rose body butter cream. Full Body Brown Sugar Scrub - A gentle moisturizing scrub treatment for the whole body. Pure brown sugar is blended with the moisturizing oils, resulting in an entirely natural and stimulating exfoliant. The sugar scrub is applied to the body with long relaxing massage strokes. After application, the body is loosely wrapped in a heated thermal blanket to allow the antibacterial sugar to absorb into the skin to improve circulation, collagen production and remove toxins. This scrub restores skin elasticity, tightens pores, and treats dry and/or itchy skin. The wonderful sweet smell of brown sugar provides a soothing aromatherapy experience. Full Body Salt Scrub - This body scrub utilizes salt harvested directly from the Dead Sea, mixed with moisturizing massage oils and applied through long relaxing massage strokes. After application, the body is loosely wrapped in a heated thermal blanket to allow the mineral salts to absorb into the skin and provide pain relief and skin healing and moisturizing. This scrub is an effective treatment for general exfoliation of dry skin, relief from Eczema and Psoriasis, pain from Fibromyalgia and Arthritis, pain from sports and other injuries, and relief from stress and insomnia. Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub and Wrap: Pumpkin is a popular skin care treatment, as it contains high levels of anti-aging vitamin A, is beneficial for all skin types and is a highly regarded anti-oxidant.

Full Body Mud Mask - Dead sea mud, enriched with 26 minerals essential to skin health and function, is applied to the body with long relaxing massage strokes. The high mineral content in the mud allows skin to stay naturally hydrated and moisturized while increasing oxygen flow to skin cells. After the mud is applied, the body is loosely wrapped in a heated thermal blanket to allow the mud to pull out toxins and pollutants, unclogging pores and revealing younger, healthier skin. This treatment provides excellent results for anyone suffering from Psoriasis or Eczema. Provides effective relief from Arthritis, joint and muscle aches, and tension from stress. Face/Scalp/Neck Massage with Facial Mask: -Enjoy a relaxing, soothing massage for your face, scalp, neck and shoulders, incorporating your choice of facial masks. The facial mask allows the pores in the face to be cleansed deeply, getting rid of trapped dirt and oily build up. This treatment can help reduce or even prevent acne. Additionally, the dead top skin layer is sloughed off, revealing younger, healthier, more lustrous skin. The result is tighter skin and a more brilliant complexion. This treatment can also reduce the look of fine lines and small wrinkles. The face is gently cleansed with Avani Dead Sea Facial cleanser, followed by application of the mask. The treatment is completed with application of Avani Dead Sea Toner and Mineral Enriched Moisturizing Cream (No extractions.)
