Thai Massage
|
Thai massage is, in fact, one of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine. It is a full-body massage, performed on a floor mat, with both parties in loose, comfortable clothes. It incorporates yoga moves, rhythmic motion, palming, elbowing, and thumbing along energy lines (the sen), gentle stretching and the conscious use of breath. The practitioner uses her hands, feet, arms and legs to guide the recipient into various yoga postures, while remaining focused on their own body-center.

Combination Massage
A Combination Massage is a massage integrating more than one style or massage modality. It can combine techniques from Thai massage, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and reflexology. These combinations are used to tailor the massage towards your personal preferences and specific needs.
Foot Scrub
A foot scrub is a scrub meant for your feet, namely to exfoliate and/or moisturize the skin. Since the skin on feet tends to be coarser than elsewhere, it takes a stronger kind of scrub. It's great to do this in the summer when you're likely to be wearing open shoes more often.
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. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots.
Trigger Point Massage
Trigger point is a sensitive area in the muscle or connective tissue (fascia) that becomes painful when compressed. Pressing on a trigger point can cause referred pain and can help identify the external area in the body generating the pain. Trigger point myotherapy also known as neuromuscular therapy or sometimes massage therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm. Pressure is applied with the fingers, knuckles, and/or elbow in ten to thirty second intervals to effectively alleviate the muscle spasm.
Body Scrub
A body scrub is a popular body treatment that is like a facial for the body. It exfoliates and hydrates your skin, remove deadskin cells and leaving it smooth and soft.
