What can a massage treat?
One of the primary reasons to book a massage is, of course, to relax and unwind. However, massage therapy can also prove beneficial for treating and helping with a wide variety of ailments and improving your overall health. A massage therapist, who has specialized training in manipulating soft tissues and muscles, can perform a massage to help with:
- Injury healing
- Body aches and pains
- Muscle knots and tension
- Stress and anxiety
- Overall wellness
Massage therapy can help you find serenity and balance, so you leave feeling calm, rested, and rejuvenated.
Which type of massage do I need?
The team of massage therapists at Dutch Hollow Medical Day Spa offers a wide variety of personalized massage therapy techniques. Some of the most popular massage services are described below.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a science-based massage that involves manipulating certain pressure points in your hands and feet. These specific points correspond to your glands, organs, and other body parts. Massaging these reflex points helps relax your corresponding body parts, all in as little as 15-30 minutes.
Therapeutic massage
Therapeutic massage allows you to step into a state of sheer tranquility and ultimate relaxation. This mind and body retreat can relieve chronic tension, relax tense muscles, improve circulation, and increase flexibility, to name a few benefits.
Stone massage
Stone massage therapy incorporates ancient healing techniques that blend heat and pressure to provide relief. This type of massage is ideal for treating tense muscle and sore joints, as well as helping to relieve widespread pain.
Prenatal massage
Prenatal massage, which is safe to perform after your first trimester, is a full body massage designed to relieve aching muscles associated with pregnancy. Because an expecting woman’s body is changing throughout the pregnancy, a prenatal massage gives you the special attention you need to relax, get relief from pain, and feel rejuvenated.
Couples massage
Couples massage, offered in the exclusive couple’s room at Dutch Hollow Medical Day Spa, is tailored to each individual. This relaxing massage can be shared with your partner, friend, parent, or other loved one.
Chair massage
Sometimes you want the benefits of a full body massage, but just can’t seem to find the time, or you just want a quick pick-me-up between regularly scheduled massages. You can get a short, yet effective and entirely relaxing chair massage in 15- or 30-minute increments, so you can get right back to work afterward.
How often should I get a massage?
How often you get a massage just depends on you and your specific needs. If you have chronic pain, for example, you may find it beneficial to get massages twice a month.
Most massage clients come in at least once a month, or on an as-needed basis. Your dedicated massage therapist at Dutch Hollow Medical Day Spa can help you design a custom massage therapy package if you want to continue feeling your best and stay on top of your health.
Schedule your relaxing, tranquil massage at Dutch Hollow Medical Day Spa either online or over the phone.
