Massage Enhancement
Description
Massage enhancement treatments are available upon request and must be scheduled in advance. These techniques aim to increase the effectiveness and maximize the benefits of the entire massage experience.
Hot Stone Treatment
During a hot stone treatment, hot stones are used as extensions of the therapist's hands during relaxation or deep tissue massage. In addition, the hot stones are placed in various locations on or under the body to create a warm and peaceful state of being.
The heat from a hot stone treatment increases circulation by pulling blood into superficial layers of the fascia or soft tissue. Hot stones also increase circulation by drawing oxygen and nutrition into the muscle tissue. This, in essence, allows the therapist to work more deeply to realign muscle fibers and bring about a greater sense of relaxation.
Paraffin Treatment
During a paraffin treatment, your hands or feet are dipped into paraffin wax. Paraffin wax has high heat capacity and low thermal conductivity, which allows the delivery of moist heat slowly and deeply into the tissue.
A paraffin treatment increases local circulation and softens the skin. It also offers temporary pain relief from arthritis, joint stiffness, muscle spasms, and tendonitis.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the natural science of healing with essential oils derived from herbs and botanicals. During the massage, you will experience the benefits of aromatherapy through inhalation and skin application.
Essential oils are inhaled via a diffusion process, which separates the oil at a molecular level and disperses it into the air. During inhalation, the oils are absorbed through the olfactory nerves and directly affect physical, emotional, and intellectual processes, as well as memory capacity. Essential oils are also diluted and massaged into the skin, which enhances the body's natural healing process. During skin application, the aromatherapy oils are absorbed into the tissues and blood vessels, and pass through the various systems of the body.
