to lower back, Enjoy a medium to firm pressure Massage.

gentle to firm pressure, the Swedish Massage is, undoubtedly the most popular
of all Massage techniques.

Traditionally, this Massage
is customized to focus on the client's main areas of concern in their back and
upper body. Full Body Massage Candidates: Wish
to work out tension not only in their back and upper body, but lower body as well.
Description: A continuation of the Swedish Massage, this technique
covers the whole body rather than just the back and upper body. Traditionally,
firmer pressure is applied, but can be customized to the client's preference.
Hot Stone Candidates: Can endure a more
intense Massage; respond
well to heat therapy on aching muscles and concentrated tension.

technique employs, you guessed it, heated natural, smooth stones, to ease tension
through Massage. Throughout
this Massage, clients
can expect medium pressure from firm stones accompanied by the lasting warmth
of the stones. Whether the stones are strategically place to let the heat soothe
aching areas r they are used in conjunction with Massage
oil to knead out stress, this Massage
is for the spa aficionado looking to expand their Massage
experience. Reflexology Candidates:
Have significant muscle pain or rage of motion difficulties.
Description:
This unconventional form of Massage
is based around applying g pressure to the underside of the feet, which correspond
to different points throughout the body. Massage Therapists certified in Reflexology
can identify a pressure point located on the bottom of a client's feet to address
their concerns. Lymphatic Drainage Candidates:
Want to promote a healthy lymphatic system, circulatory system, respiratory
system, muscular system and endocrine system.
Description:This
type of Massage therapy
offers a holistic approach to wellness by using a specified technique to improve
the body's lymphatic system. The lymphatic system's function is to move toxins
away from healthy cells in the body. The Massage
is focused on the lymph nodes and the therapy is believed to relieve allergies,
menstrual cramps, colds and viruses as well. Pregnancy
Candidates: Are in their second or third trimesters of pregnancy and
are experiencing low back pain, swelling, headaches or stress.
Description:
Designed to ease the stress on a pregnant woman's aching body, pregnancy
or prenatal massage, can help reduce stress, swelling and pain in a woman's changing
body. Because pregnant women should not lay flat on their backs (as the weight
of the uterus constricts the vein that returns blood from the legs to the heart),
pregnancy massages are often performed on a special massage table to allow the
pregnant woman to lie face down, or are preformed while the woman lay on her side.
