This classic of long strokes and kneading will loosen tight muscles, increase circulation, brighten your mood, and lower your stress. We recommend this treatment for the first time massage.
Deep Tissue
This massage is recommended for those seeking a more intense therapy. This technique is directed specifically to individual muscle fibers. Deep Tissue releases tightness and decreases muscle fatigue while removing toxins, soothing and thereby re-educating, and encouraging the muscle to operate at full capacity. Deep-tissue massage is a specific type of massage therapy that concentrates on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body.
Hot Stone
Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body.A common question people have is whether to get hot stone massage vs Swedish massage or a regular massage. Some people find the warmth of the hot stones to be comforting and get this type of massage for relaxation. Hot stone massage is suited to people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet. It's also suited for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work the muscles without using deep pressure.
Foot Massage

A daily foot bath can not only keep your feet clean, but also smooth qi and provide a nourishing vigor and anti-aging qualities, enhance metabolism, improve resistance to external pathogens, and prevent chapping, chilblains, athlete’s foot and other foot disease.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Relieves Stress
Stress relief is key to achieving a healthier lifestyle. Even a single massage session can significantly lower heart rate, cortisol and insulin levels, all of which help reduce daily stress.
Encourages Relaxation
Relax. Reset. Repeat. Massage has been shown to help the body enter a relaxing rest and recovery mode: an effect that lingers long after the massage is over.
Improves Posture
Unlike other bad habits, poor posture can be relaxing to correct. Massage helps reinforce healthy and natural movements, which can get your posture back on track.
Improves Circulation
The pressure created by massage therapy moves blood through congested areas. This causes new blood to flow in, resulting improved body function.
Lower Blood Pressure
High blood pressure has more misconceptions than nearly any other medical condition. But one effective way to stave off high blood pressure naturally is massage therapy.
Relaxes Muscles
Got neck, back or muscle pain? Odds are, sitting all day at the office is the culprit. Massage gets to the root of persistent pain by relaxing tense muscles.
Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion
As we age, joints tend to tighten, making range of motion more restricted. Massage helps keep joints more fluid, making you more flexible and less prone to injury.
Promotes Deeper And Easier Breathing
One of the telltale signs of anxiety and stress is constricted breathing. Massage can play an important role in reliving respiratory issues and training the body how to relax.
Relieves Headaches
45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches and migraines. Massage helps ease the pressure and pain, which can also reduce the chance and frequency of headaches.
Strengthens The Immune System
Studies indicate that regular massage can naturally increase the immune system’s cytotoxic capacity–the activity level of the body’s natural “killer cells”.
Enhances Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Massage helps the body pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. This makes massage therapy a great supplement to post-operative rehabilitation.
Improves Rehabilitation After Injury
Rehabilitation can be frustrating. A continual massage program can accelerate the recovery process, as well as help you relax and stay motivated.
