MASSAGE AND SHIATSU THERAPIES

Our Massage therapists have been trained in a diverse range of therapies including Swedish massage, Spa Stone massage and Shiatsu.

The therapists specialize in their own type of bodywork and are leaders in the massage field with a dedication to continuing education.

Our certified massage therapists will assist you in selecting the optimal modality for you.

Swedish Massage

includes a variety of techniques specifically designed to improve circulation, bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues. It can relieve muscle tension and pain, increase flexibility and mobility, and help clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time, with the aim of relieving both emotional and physical stress. Your massage therapist uses massage lotions or oils in long, smooth strokes, kneading motions as well as other techniques to give you the depth of massage that you desire. Choose a ½ hour, 1 hour or 1 ½ hour session.

Tao Shiatus

is a holistic healing method based on traditional eastern medicine that stimulates the self-healing ability of the patient’s body, mind, heart, and spirit. This therapeutic treatment takes place with the receiver clothed and lying on a comfortable mat on the floor. The Shiatsu therapist uses their hands, forearms, and knees to apply sustained pressure to specific release points in the patient’s body, in order to release toxins and make way for the receiver’s

natural healing energy to emerge. Tao Shiatsu originates from the hand-healing tradition of energy medicine and evolved into its modern form in Japan by Shiatsu Master Ryokyu Endo. The Stayspa Tao Shiatsu therapist trained with Master Endo in Japan for over 4 years.

Massage for Pregnancy

Massage can be very beneficial for pregnancy by increasing both blood & lymph circulation. Massage can give relief to women suffering muscle cramps, spasms and pain, particularly in the lower back, neck, hips and legs. It can relax and reduce stress, and bring more nutrition to all parts of your body. Side-lying support cushions are used to keep the mother-to-be most comfortable. We work with each individual to focus on the areas of concern, as well as the depth of massage strokes.

Spa Stone Massage

The body is massaged with gently heated, smooth stones to warm both the muscles and joints. Large and small stones are used in motion and in resting positions to allow the heat to radiate deep into tight muscles. Massaging lotions are added to enhance the deeper state of relaxation.
