Massage Therapy
Experience the rejuvenating effects of our massage therapy services.
Massage has a variety of benefits for the body, mind and spirit. It improves circulation, improves the detoxifying functions of the body's lymphatic system, increases the metabolism, helps speed healing, relaxes and refreshes the muscles, relieves fatigue, reduces tension, promotes relaxation, and gives you a renewed energy and an overall sense of well-being. Research indicates that approximately 85-90% of all illnesses and diseases can be directly attributed to stress. Massage therapy has been proven to be one of the very best stress releasers and can be thought of as preventive medicine.

The Massage Experience
You have the right to set your own limitations; however, a full body massage is best performed nude allowing for more fluid and integrated movements. Many people feel most comfortable wearing undergarments. It is your choice. Draping with a sheet and blanket is always provided.
Your only job is to relax as completely as possible. Take deep breaths and allow your body to sink into the table. This will help you let go of the tension in your muscles. As tension is located, consciously try to relax these areas. Just lie there and allow your limbs to be moved into whatever position is required. Don’t try to be helpful. Close your eyes and simply receive.
Therapeutic massages can focus on the neck, lower back and legs, foot reflexology (where pressure points on the feet are stimulated), or on the full body with special attention given to areas you consider more ‘needy’. It is expected and encouraged that you ask for what you need.
Please arrive 10 minutes early for necessary paperwork.
