Stretch massage can provide numerous benefits for the body. Wearing loose and stretchy clothing is important as it allows for easier movement and flexibility during the session. Additionally, socks are required and can help keep your feet warm and comfortable during the massage.

The initial consultation is essential as it allows the therapist to understand your specific needs, any existing health conditions or concerns, and tailor the massage accordingly. It’s a good opportunity to discuss your goals and any areas of focus or discomfort you may have.

The dressing time is usually included to give you privacy and allow you to prepare for the session. It ensures that you have ample time to change into your preferred clothing and get ready for the massage experience.

During the stretch massage, the therapist will guide you through various stretching exercises and techniques designed to improve flexibility, posture, range of motion, and circulation. The specific stretches performed will depend on your individual needs and goals.

Remember, if you have any specific questions or concerns about the stretch massage or the process, it’s always a good idea to communicate them with the therapist. They can provide additional guidance and ensure that the session meets your expectations. Enjoy your stretch massage and its many benefits!

Hot stone massage is a popular therapeutic treatment that combines the benefits of heated stones with traditional massage techniques to promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. During a hot stone massage, smooth, heated stones are placed on specific points of your body, while the therapist uses the stones to massage your muscles.

The heat from the stones helps to relax your muscles, allowing the therapist to apply deeper pressure without causing discomfort. The stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well. They are heated to a specific temperature and then placed on areas such as your back, legs, or palms.

The warmth from the stones helps to increase blood flow and circulation in the treated areas, promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension. The heat also helps to expand blood vessels, which can have a soothing effect on the nervous system. The combination of heat and massage can create a deeply therapeutic and calming experience.

Hot stone massage can offer various benefits, including:

1. Relaxation: The warmth from the stones helps to calm your body and mind, inducing a deep sense of relaxation.
2. Muscle relaxation: The heat from the stones helps to relax tense muscles, making it easier for the therapist to work on specific areas of tension or discomfort.
3. Pain relief: Hot stone massage can help to alleviate muscle aches, joint pain, and general discomfort.
4. Stress reduction: The soothing nature of the treatment can help to reduce stress levels and promote overall well-being.
5. Improved circulation: The heat from the stones dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow and circulation throughout your body.

It’s important to note that hot stone massage may not be suitable for everyone. If you have certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a skin condition, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider before receiving this treatment.

A massage on sound tables, combined with the use of beautiful heart-opening music, can indeed create a unique and immersive experience. The concept of sound healing is based on the idea that therapeutic frequencies of sound and/or music can be applied to the body and mind, with the intention of restoring harmony and promoting health.

According to proponents of sound healing, every organ, bone, and cell in the body has its own resonance frequency. Together, they form a symphony of frequencies, much like the instruments in an orchestra. When one organ is out of tune, it is believed to have a ripple effect on the entire body, potentially leading to imbalances and health issues. By using sound healing techniques, it is thought that these imbalances can be addressed, potentially bringing the body and mind back into a state of harmony and well-being.

The experience of receiving a massage on sound tables involves the incorporation of music and sound vibrations into the massage session. As the music resonates through the massage table, the vibrations can be felt throughout the body, enhancing the overall therapeutic effect of the massage. This combination of touch and sound aims to provide a holistic experience that encompasses both physical and energetic aspects of healing.   (currently no available)

A disposable heated eye mask can offer added comfort during a massage and provide various benefits.

With deep tissue add on, the therapist will apply deeper pressure.
