Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense.

Deep Heat Therapy

Clay filled packs are heated to 165 F, wrapped in cloth and strategically placed on the body. The purpose of the heat is to allow the underlying muscle to relax and allow the therapist deeper penetration into the muscle belly. This therapy is not for everyone including those with increased blood pressure and circulation problems, be sure to communicate any concerns with your therapist.

Hot Stones

Basalt stones are water heated and applied to the body strategically or used as extensions of the hand. The purpose is to allow further depth into the muscle by the way of heat therapy, which allows the overlaying muscle to relax allowing the therapist entry to the muscle belly. While the therapist always tests the stones before applying to the body, be sure to inform your therapist if the temperature is too hot.

Salt Scrub

Gently rubbing the skin in circular motions with a salt scrub removes dead skin cells in a process known as exfoliation. Dead skin cells harden with age. The abrasive action associated with salt scrubs invigorates the skin and helps to improve circulation. Improved circulation gives skin a natural glow. Scrubbing with salt also helps to remove bacteria from the skin and unclog pores. Salt has antiseptic qualities, and when applied to the skin it may help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation along with any itching and pain associated with bacterial-related skin disease.
