Swedish massage is for relaxation.
Deep Tissue massage is therapeutic.

For example, if you just want to relax and don’t want to experience any discomfort during the massage,
request a Swedish massage. Your therapist can use firm pressure if desired, but they are not going to work on relieving chronic muscle tension or knots in your muscles.

If you’re having muscle pain, stiffness, muscle tension, request a Deep Tissue massage. Your therapist will work at the deeper layers of the muscles to relieve tension and work out stiffness and knots. This massage can be a little intense, and it’s common to experience a level of discomfort during the massage.

Your therapist will check in with you regularly during the massage to ensure your comfort.

It is important to talk with your massage therapist before your massage begins, to ensure they understand your goals for the massage, any health issues you may have, and any specific problem areas that need focused attention.

Couples Massage

Back rubs at home are a certain kind of great because you’re with your significant other, but every once in awhile it’s nice to let a professional have a turn. Couples massage is the best of both worlds! The lasting effects of massage will make you glad you skipped one night at the movie theatre.

Hot Stone Therapy

Take a break from the chilly weather. Bathe your muscles in relaxing warmth during a hot stone therapy session with us. Professional massage therapists will place smooth, water-heated stones on distinct areas of your body to promote deep relaxation.

Hot stone therapy is a great option for people who prefer a lighter massage. It also enhances circulation, which helps people get blood flowing to their cold feet!

Sports Massage

Spend any time skiing or snowboarding yet this winter? Let us rub those bumps, bruises and sore muscles into sweet oblivion. Our professional massage therapists can target your muscle-tendon junctions in your body. Whether you’re an athlete or just somebody who feels the pain of an active lifestyle we can help prevent sports injuries and also help you recover.

Massage gift cards are a safe bet for quick holiday gifts that you know your friends and family will enjoy. Feel free to buy some gift cards on our website, give us a call or drop by the spa while you’re out and about.

When muscle pain becomes chronic and unrelenting, our clients look to the techniques of Deep Tissue to release tension and ease discomfort.

Through slow, deliberate strokes of varying degrees of pressure focused on the deepest layer of muscle tissue, painfully contracted muscles, tendons and fascia are relaxed and realigned.

What is fascia?  Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds and supports all components of the body. Muscular and skeletal fascia can become inflamed and irritated from injury and exercise, exerting pressure and causing pain.

Every client’s needs and tolerance are different.  Your massage therapist is always ready to listen to your feedback and adjust the pressure and technique as necessary to make your appointment as beneficial and comfortable as possible.

Join us at BodyHeat Hot Pilates & Yoga for their quarterly Detox/Retox, a FREE, fun and informative event that focuses on fitness, wellness and all things good for you.

Join the experienced massage therapists and estheticians from Zen Spa for chair massage, Q & A, skincare tips and more.

See you there!

But time spent outdoors also puts us at risk of sun exposure.  Yes, small doses of sunshine invigorate us and replenish our daily vitamin D requirement.  But prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays may initiate premature aging, sunburn and skin cancers.

We all know the importance of wearing sunscreen, but some of us spend no more than a minute or so browsing the aisle and picking up the first product on special.  Worse yet, most don’t reapply as necessary or apply enough in the first place.

Here are a few key points to keep in mind when choosing and applying sunscreen:

• Experts recommend daily usage.  A morning run, walking from your office to lunch, or sun through the car windows is enough to cause damage, especially when compounded daily.
• To be truly effective, a sunscreen must be labeled ‘broad-spectrum’, a term regulated by the FDA meaning it protects against both UVA (rays largely responsible for premature aging) and UVB (those causing sunburn).  To only prevent sunburn by blocking only UVB is letting UVA rays wreak havoc on your skin.
• The FDA has recently banned misleading terms such as waterproof, sweatproof and sunblock.
• SPFs of 15 to 50+ (anything higher than 50 is labeled as 50+) are the only levels approved by the FDA to prevent sun damage.

A skincare regimen including a hydrating moisturizer, plenty of water, effective sunscreen and regular facials can work wonders to stave off the negative effects of sun exposure.  Make an appointment with one of our experienced estheticians to determine which facial treatment is most appropriate.

During the last two trimesters, when most of baby’s growth occurs causing increased pressure on major blood vessels, mom may be begin to suffer from excess swelling. The subsequent decrease in circulation, sciatic pain, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms moms-to-be can experience throughout pregnancy.

Recent studies have shown that prenatal massage performed by a certified therapist can have the same benefits of significantly alter hormone and anxiety levels while reducing swelling and nerve pain.

The therapists at Zen Spa will address the uncomfortable symptoms typically associated with pregnancy. Make an appointment from now until July 15 and receive $10 off!

According to the American Pregnancy Association, “Swedish Massage is the recommended prenatal massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts during pregnancy.”
