Massage Modalities
Therapeutic massage is customized to your individual needs. In addition to helping us remember what it means to truly relax, scientific studies have shown that massage has the following general benefits--and, therefore, may help many serious medical conditions, including (but certainly not limited to) fibromyalgia, diabetes, and chronic pain:
- lowers blood pressure & heart rate
- helps muscles recover quickly from exertion, fatigue, or injury
- improves joint movement and helps reduce swelling
- causes the release of endorphins & our body's own natural pain killers
- promotes deeper sleep and reduces fatigue
- improves focus & concentration
- relieves tension headaches & migraines
All massages include a brief session in the Radiant Heat Room (optional), and the use of warm or cool compresses, herbal eye packs, and aromatherapy oil to enhance your massage experience--at no additional cost.
Unique savings programs are available for frequent users or those purchasing a series of massages in advance. Gift certificates in any denomination are also available.

Particularly effective for stress, fatigue, insomnia, headache, neck pain, digestive system & cramping. 60 mins $80
