Revive your body and spirit with therapeutic massage. An effective technique to promote both physical and mental health, massage can: increase circulation, lower blood pressure, remove impurities, relax tight muscles and tone weak muscles, improve flexibility, smooth muscle pain, reduce fatigue and relieve stress, and calm the nervous system.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage works by manipulating the muscles’ underlying connective tissue—called fascia—to loosen up areas that have stuck together to form “knots” and increase overall flexibility. This technique increases circulation to targeted areas, stretches tissue and releases toxins that were trapped in the adhesions. The motions used in Deep Tissue Massage are similar to those employed in traditional “Swedish” Massage, although they tend to be done against rather than with the muscular grain. The style also employs the use of elbows and perhaps even ceramic, glass or wooden tools to focus pressure on specific areas.
Because pressure is more focused and intense than in traditional massage, many people believe that Deep Tissue Massage must be painful. While Deep Tissue Massage can be a bit uncomfortable at times, it should never actually hurt. Consult with your massage therapist to set expectations and communication should be maintained throughout the session to ensure the experience is painless as well as productive. (Note: There may be some soreness after a Deep Tissue Massage session, but this should go away in no more than a few days.)
Foot Reflexology
The reflexology sequence will improve the circulation and assist the body in speeding up the elimination of waste products, so that toxins do not have a chance to build up in your body. The genuine reflexology is the application of pressure onto particular areas of the soles of the feet. A reflex action in another part of the body is stimulated by the manipulation of each specific area. Unlike other massages that use thumbs, palms, hands, elbow, knee and foot, foot reflexology massage uses hands, fingers and a wood stick with cream and oil. According to Chinese medicine, the sensory nerves of the internal organs that spread throughout the body are mainly gathered around the soles of the feet. Therefore, the massage is effective in stimulating the functions of the internal organs. Another advantage of this therapy is that there is no risk. Our expert masseurs will deal with the critical points on the feet with utmost care. The pain felt there will disappear when the masseur finishes the process.

Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage treats common psychological and physical complaints by pressing pressure points. Proponents believe it alleviates disorders such as depression, anxiety, nausea, stiffness, headaches, arthritis, cramps, or pulled muscles. This Japanese equivalent of the Chinese method of acupressure comes from the Japanese words "shi" and "atsu," meaning "finger pressure."
Shiatsu massage, sometimes called Zen shiatsu, unifies spiritual, philosophical, and medical aspects of the body. Some westernized massage techniques are combined with the view that energy, qi or chi, circulates along channels called meridians. When freely flowing, chi brings fresh, strong energy and carries away spent energy along with toxins. In this view, any number of influences upset our natural balance of yin and yang. Blocked or diverted chi must be cleared and restored. An Eastern perspective doesn't cite sleeplessness, indigestion, swollen joints, headaches, or depression as sources of discomfort, but sees them as symptoms of either hyperactive or under productive chi.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
Additional Swedish massage techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Before and during your Swedish massage session, communication is encouraged with your professional massage therapist so that your massage is customized to your specific needs.
Thai Herb Massage
Thai Herbal Massage is a common method of treatment employed in traditional Thai medicine.
The hot herbal compress contains numerous herbs tightly bound in fabric which is steamed until piping hot and firmly rolled. After a full-body, pressure point Thai massage, the hot herbal compress is pressed or pounded over the entire body in order to soothe muscle and stimulate the vital organs and senses.
Compresses are traditionally applied after Thai Massage to prevent bruising, reduce muscle stress and cure skin conditions.
Chair Massage
For chair massage, you are seated in a special chair with your face resting in a cradle, looking down towards the floor, with supports for your arms. Your back and neck completely relax while the therapist relieves muscle tension using Swedish massage moves like kneading and compression which don't require oil. It's a great way to work out muscle tension before it turns into a full-blown spasm.
