Massage Therapy
Let all of your senses be invigorated with a customized 60 minute massage. Whether it be a relaxation massage or deep tissue, all of our therapists are trained in all areas. Let your therapist know if you’d like the works or just to focus on certain areas. Communication is key at La Palma and we want your experience to always be better than the last.
Acupuncture
Classic acupuncture is a form of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) that has been practiced for many years. It is used to naturally improve the energy flow of Qi (chee) through the body to re-balance and bring an overall holistic treatment. Activating specific points in the body with sterile, single use needles can help open up these pathways needed to balance your Qi. First Time visits must be booked in as an Initial 90 minute session, unless approved by our Acupuncturists.
Lymphatic Drainage
Through very specific techniques, Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be a very beneficial treatment to the body. It helps with moving lymphatic liquid out of areas of the body that are damaged and move it to parts of the body that are functioning normally. Lymphatic drainage may assist reducing water retention and bloating. But is essentially great for those whom have had surgeries and are experiencing swelling. ** Please note that if you have not experienced this treatment before, it is performed with very light pressure.
