Types of Massages

We understand that different individuals have different massage needs, and we strive to offer a range of massage therapies that cater to each individual's unique needs. Here are some of the types of massage that we offer:

Head & Neck Massage

Head and neck are popular areas of massage; providing relaxation, this massage can also help with one of the most common pains, a headache.

These two areas of the body are particularly prone to tension and pain, especially for people who spend long periods sitting. Tension in the head and neck can lead to headaches, migraines, neck pain, and sometimes shoulder pain.

Hot Stones

This type of massage is recommended for people who suffer from muscle pain and tension. It involves the placement of smooth, heated stones on different areas of the whole body.

During this type of massage, stones may be placed:

- Along the spine.
- On the stomach.
- On the chest.
- On the feet and toes.

When applying the stones, they will apply pressure to the affected areas, helping to release tension, increase circulation, and soothe sore muscles.

Relaxing Massage

A relaxing massage involves smooth movements aimed at alleviating tension in the muscles, improving circulation, and promoting deep relaxation and a sense of calm, reducing stress.

People who suffer from everyday stresses or those who want to treat themselves can find this type of massage to be a great way to promote both physical and mental well-being.

Craniofacial

A craniofacial massage involves the use of gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back, helping to release stress and pain caused by compression.

This type of massage can help to treat conditions such as:

- Migraines and headaches

Craniofacial massages are typically gentle and noninvasive, and they can be a great choice for people who are sensitive to more intense massages.
