A soundproof enclosed container that is filled with a foot or less of clean, clear, continuously filtered water containing 1,000 pounds of magnesium salt. The water is heated to average skin temperature and saturated with Epsom salt for buoyancy. The density providing a near anti-gravity enviroment by dispersing weight evenly accross the body to help minimize chronic postural tension and relieve pain.

Aromatherapy is an ancient science using essential oils derived from many different plants and their parts for healing, relaxing and energizing the body. Aromatherapy massage uses a blend of these aromatic oils during the session to affect your mood and help alleviate pain. The subtle aroma of the essential oils fills the air around you during the massage.

After the consultation, one or more essential oils are selected based on your needs and mixed in with the massage oil or lotion. After the massage, the therapist may suggest a blend that you can use at home in between massage treatments.

Massage therapy itself has many physical and emotional benefits to the body. The addition of a safe and aromatic essential oil blend can enhance your overall experience.

Deep Tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on realigning deeper layers of tissue to “unstick” the fibers of a muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic and especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. The movement is slower and the pressure is deeper than a typical massage and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.

Deep Tissue massage works by physically breaking down adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range. There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage.

ACE Vacutherapies™ (vacuum therapy) or ACE Massage Cupping™is not an irritant to the skin or body and can be used for all ages in a variety of applications and benefits on acute and chronic conditions. Using specialized cups and a suction device, it draws the inflammation out from deep in the tissues to be released into the lymphatic system. The skin can turn red with strong movements, indicating that circulation has been brought to the surface, stimulating natural elasticity. Increased local blood supply to the muscles and skin will bring nourishment and allow for toxins to be carried away via the lymph vessels.

The action on the nervous system is sedating and is beneficial for those with high blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, chronic headaches, fibromyalgia and neuralgia. Conditions of chronic and acute pain can be relieved with minimal discomfort and tense muscles softened quickly and easily. It is wonderfully effective to release restrictions in fascia and scar tissue reduction along with painful joint issues.

Another effective application is in the treatment of cellulite. A very light suction provides drainage of stagnant fluids, while heavier application can be used to stimulate circulation, shift tissue PH, liquefy deposits of Solid Bloat and loosen adhesions or “dimpling.”

Swedish massage is the most common and best known type of massage in the West. The term “Swedish Massage” refers to a variety of long, soft, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic tapping techniques specifically designed 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. This can also be combined with movement of the joints.

Before the massage, the therapist should ask you about any injuries or other conditions they should know about (such as: areas of tightness or pain, allergies, and conditions like pregnancy). The therapist lubricates the skin and performs these various strokes to warm up the muscle tissue, releasing tension and breaking up muscle “knots” or adhered tissues, called adhesions. Swedish massage affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, promotes relaxation and eases muscle tension all while promoting health and well-being.

Hot Stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated basalt stones (an iron-rich type of rock) as an extension of their hands to help relax tired and stressful muscles. The heat from the stones can be deeply relaxing and help to warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly. It will also improve vascular circulation and calm the nervous system.

As the stone cools, the therapist will replace it with another heated one and they may also place and leave the stones on the body while they massage other areas. The therapist generally uses stones of various shapes and sizes –typically bigger stones on the larger muscles, smaller stones on smaller areas. Hot stone massage is therefore a favorable manner of healing and relaxation.

Myofascial techniques (Connective Tissue Massage) are specialized stretching techniques used by therapists to treat patients with a variety of soft tissue problems. This soft tissue can become restricted due to disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow. This restriction can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn’t expect.

To understand how it works, you have to understand a little about fascia. Fascia is the soft tissue component of the connective tissue that provides support and protection for most structures within the human body, including muscle. Fascia is a thin tissue that covers every muscle and every fiber within each muscle. Myofascial restrictions can create pressure on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) Myofascial techniques treat these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia.
