Deep Tissue Massage 60 – 90 min
Used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. This invigorating experience is a process of detection of stiff or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature, and slowly working into the deep layers of muscle tissue. Specific hand positions and strokes are then used to respond to various tissue qualities. Techniques employing breath and movement are also used for releasing muscular congestion.
Swedish Massage 60 – 90 min
Designed primarily to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The lymph system and veins (which carry blood back to the heart) both rely on muscle action, rather than heart pump pressure, to operate. Many believe it is safe to apply light pressure in the opposite direction. Friction is reduced by oil, lotion or a massage gel. Swedish massage can relax muscles, increase circulation, remove metabolic waste products, help the recipient obtain a feeling of connectedness, and promote better awareness of the body and the way to use and position it. The strokes and manipulations of Swedish Massage are each conceived as having a specific therapeutic benefit. One of the primary goals of Swedish Massage is to speed venous return from the extremities. Swedish Massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic wastes. It improves circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons, keeping them supple. Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system while at the same time relaxing the nerves themselves. As it can help reduce emotional and physical stress, it is often recommended as part of a regular program for stress management. It also has specific clinical uses in a medical or remedial therapy.
Hot Stone Massage 90 min
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.

Reflexology Foot Massage 45 min
Reflexology is based on the principle that massage upon points in the feet will have a "reflexive" action to organs, glands, tissues and all parts of the body. This system gives the therapist an additional method for addressing a problem area of the body. It can also be used to affect a response in an area where there is a specific contra-indication for regular massage or deep pressure.
Zone Massage 30 min
Reflex zones in the feet are points that have a direct relation to the body’s organs. This promotes circulation in the zones, which helps to harmonize and improve the functioning of the body’s organs and tissues. Due to this, Zone Massage has been proven to have positive therapeutic effects.
