Stress
In today’s society we constantly deal with stress, at work, at home, or even at play. It is a necessary component of life. However, frequent or unrelenting stress can have damaging effects on your body resulting in discomfort and pain. High blood pressure, changes in blood sugar, ulcers, headaches, hypertension, colitis and heart disease are only some of the adverse manifestations of stress.
It has been shown that one of the best methods to combat stress is therapeutic massage. Massage can dramatically reverse the damaging physiological effects of stress by helping to lower heart rate and blood pressure, improve circulation, and heighten your sense of well-being (through the release of endorphins). Don’t let accumulated stress and tension spoil your pleasure and productivity in life.
The Medi-Spa uses the finest products combined with highly trained massage therapists to offer our clients a truly remarkable experience. Your journey follows a sequence of massage movements influenced and inspired by an exotic blend of cultures and techniques.
Therapeutic Massage
Drawing from their training in Swedish, myofascial and Thai massage techniques, as well as lymphatic drainage and reiki, our therapists will tailor a massage for your particular physical and stress-reducing needs.
Oncology Massage
A gentle, nurturing style of massage meant to sooth the body, mind and spirit of anyone who is dealing with the effects of cancer and the treatment of cancer (chemotherapy, radiation and surgery).
Lymph Drainage Therapy
When our lymph circulation stagnates, the fluids, proteins, dead cells and toxins accumulate in the body which can lead to chronic inflammation, chronic pain, allergies and other physical ailments. Using a gentle touch, Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) works to help recirculate body fluids, stimulate the immune system, detoxify the body, and balance the autonomic nervous system. LDT can be experienced by those who simply wish to have a detoxification treatment, by those who suffer from some "Dis-Ease," and by people who have had lymph nodes removed due to cancer or infection and wish to help prevent lymphedema. *Please note that those who suffer from lymphedema need to seek treatment from someone trained to treat this condition.
Maternity Massage
A massage at any time during the 2nd and 3rd trimester of a pregnancy can help relieve muscle spasms and cramps especially in the back, neck and legs. Massage can increase blood and lymph circulation, help reduce swelling and offer a nurturing touch in a safe, relaxing environment. Women with high risk pregnancies are encouraged to come in for massage with the authorization of a physician or midwife.
Deep Tissue Muscle Massage
A deep pressure, firm massage, focusing on relieving tension and aching muscles, the fundamental elements of the Deep Tissue Muscle Massage. Combined with specially blended massage oils, this treatment can be tailor-made to suit the individual needs of the client
Stone massage
Involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body and the use of those stones in the massage strokes, and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
Raindrop Therapy
Raindrop Technique combines the use of therapeutic grade, medicinal quality essential oils with specific Vita-Flex and massage techniques to achieve balance and harmony in the body. Due to the various antimicrobial nature of each individual oil, it is very useful in dealing with chronic pain due to injuries, accidents and surgeries.
The technique consists of applying specific oils to the spine and assimilating them into the body using the Vita Flex movements and a hot, moist pack at the end. The recipient will experience various sensations throughout the session. The pain relief lasts on an average of 3-7 days. Continued use of the Raindrop Technique typically results in a cumulative effect on the body for longer relief.
