Massage

This light to medium pressure, head-to-toe treatment works with the physical well-being as well as the subtle energy of the body providing a relaxation while improving circulation relaxation. Swedish massage is gentler that deep tissue and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief.  It may loosen up tight muscles and tension. A traditional Swedish massage involves the whole body – you will begin on either your back or your stomach and flip over at the halfway point.

Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there’s far more pressure. In order to reach the deep muscle tissue, a therapist will massage layer by layer of muscle, applying more and more pressure and employing special techniques with the fingers, fists, and maybe even elbows to reach and stretch that deep tissue. This type of massage facilitates healing by releasing contracted areas of muscle and tissue. It can help increase blood flow to the soft tissues and may help to reduce inflammation.

A hot stone massage is wonderful and indulging for those guests who like a warm, relaxing massage. Smooth hot stones are used to melt away muscular tension and provide a deep level of relaxation. The pressure can range anywhere from light to deep depending on your personal preference.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine where a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. The idea is to draw blood to or away from parts of your body. People get it for many reasons, such as pain and inflammation relief, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
