Signature Therapeutic Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a combination of Western techniques. Movements can be slow or fast and vigorous or gentle depending on the results needed. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation.
BENEFITS: You may seek out Swedish massage therapy for pain relief, or to help you recover from an injury or to manage depression. However, you will experience a broad range of welcome side benefits. Swedish massage therapy for osteoarthritis of the knee may promote a greater range of motion and alleviate pain, but it may also improve the appearance and health of your skin. It could also reduce the frequency of minor colds you experience and help you stay focused and alert throughout the day.

Hot Stone Massage
A stone massage uses water-heated stones to apply pressure and heat to the body. Stones coated in oil can also be used by the therapist delivering various massaging strokes. The hot stones used are commonly Basalt stones which over time, have become extremely polished and smooth. As the stones are placed along the recipient's back, they help to retain heat which then deeply penetrates into the muscles, releasing tension.
BENEFITS: • Promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation • Alleviates stress • Releases toxins • Relieves pain • Improves circulation • Calms the psyche
