Massage
Hot stone massage involves the use of smooth, heated lava stones applied to the body using long, flowing massage strokes. Deep heat from the stones allows muscle tissue to soften and relax, improving the overall benefit of the massage.
Reflexology
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands). Reflexology is generally relaxing and may help alleviate stress. The theory behind reflexology is that the areas of foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the correspond-ing area of the body. Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic massage treatment that uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase lymphatic flow, with the aim of ridding your body of harmful toxins.
