Customized Massage

60 minute massage | $75
90 minute massage | $105

Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best-known type of massage. It was developed by a Swedish physiologist in 1812. It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation.

 

Deep Tissue Massage

60 minutes | $85

Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. This massage focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, you should feel better than ever within a day or two.

 

Hot Stone Massage

Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
