SPA Massages
The point is that massage is the most naturally healing thing you can do. The nurturing touch is simple, instinctual, and more powerful than we can imagine. It reduces stress, alleviates depression, reduces pain, boosts the immune system, and helps pre-mature babies catch up in their development. Without touch we close down. With touch we love, communicate, and nurture one another. So massage is not just a profession for a special few; it is part of the healing touch we all possess. Because massage is naturally healing, its therapeutic use dates back as far as mankind. Ancient Greek, Roman, and Oriental medical treatises describe in detail how and when massage should be used. In the Western world it fell out of favor in the Middle Ages as the church regarded the body as sinful. But, by the 1800's, a new interest in massage was started in Sweden, and today there are many popular modalities of therapeutic massage and bodywork. Massage Benefits
From a physiological point of view, massage increases the lubrication between muscle fibers and allows the muscle to move optimally. When muscles dry out, or dehydrate, the fibers stick together and the muscle becomes stiff or ridged. As fluid is reintroduced, the muscle softens and regains its flexibility. As circulation increases between the muscle fibers, nutrients reach the cells and toxins are carried off more efficiently. Aging is largely a process of dehydration. The less water in the body, the more quickly we age. As we dehydrate, we begin to shrink and as our muscles become smaller, our skin begins to wrinkle. Drinking lots of water and having regular massage is a great way to get rid of wrinkles. Muscle dehydration is found at every area of disease. This would lead one to believe that good circulation could possibly keep one healthy. Degenerative diseases like cancer and muscular sclerosis are anaerobic and can not live in an oxygenated environment. Because blood carries oxygen to the cells, circulation is necessary for optimal health. The Bible teaches that life is in the blood. If this is true, we need the best circulation we can get. Massage increases circulation, hence, increases oxygen to the cells. It's time to get a massage. From a psychological point of view, massage creates a sense of being cared for, of being nurtured. Massage helps us become more aware of our bodies and the feelings we value. Human touch connects one person to another and the feelings shared are healing and energizing emotionally. Safe touch is an important part of life. Massage by a responsible professional is a relaxing way to enjoy safe touch. Looking at massage from a physics point of view, we see that electromagnetic energy is transferred from the giver to the receiver and back. This energy transfer can not be duplicated by gadgets or machines. The oriental cultures call this energy Chi´ or life energy. Massage increases mental alertness. Massage gives one a feeling of comfort and relaxation like a mini vacation from the pressures of life. One is more relaxed after a series of massages. This relaxed state lasts longer as the cumulative benefits of more massage at regular intervals are experienced. Our Clinic provides as many as 18 different massages: chiroplastic, four-hand exclusive, Swedish, honey, Maori, Thai, hot stone, lymphodrainage, anti-cellulite, aromatherapy, and more! THAI MASSAGE

When the lymph is flowing, the cells are being bathed in fresh fluid, causing the skin to look fresh and alive. We have all experienced having minor edema in our faces - that puffy feeling and baggy eyes when we first wake in the morning after a long night. Usually after a few minutes of being vertical the lymph system starts to drain the face. A great way to see the power of lymph drainage is to apply a few strokes on one of those mornings, and watch in just a few minutes the tissues drain right before your eyes- leaving you looking vibrant and healthy.

Hot Stone Massage is related to the Indian and Shaman cultures. It has become very popular in the last few years. Hot Stone Massage with hot basalt stones (a black volcanic rock) on energy points - chakras harmonizes flow of positive energy, relaxes muscles, stimulates the immune system, improves blood circulation, metabolism and removal of toxins. Basalt stones have a natural ability to hold heat, and the generally smooth texture of the stones make them ideal for contact with skin. The stones come in various shapes and size, from tiny little stones that are placed between your toes to big stones the therapist uses to massage your back. While the stones do their work, your therapist massages your muscles with long strokes that work in conjunction with the heat from the stones to give you a phenomenal experience! This unique therapy is a very effective modality, affecting both local areas of the body and the body as a whole. Hot Stone Massage goes beyond the physical experience of typical massage by entering deeper dimensions of relaxation, health and well being 
Ma-uri Massage is an element of the Polynesian wellness system performed by dancing to Maori tribe's or some other music chosen. The massage therapist dances and makes movements with the forearms finishing them with the hands. Movements by forearms are very gentle so there is no risk of injury. This is a full-body massage from the hair to the toes excluding the intimate areas: the inner side of calves, nipples, sacrum bottom, so as not to feel embarrassed and sexually excited. After the treatment, the massage therapist continues to dance for several minutes without touching the body. Music, dance and hearty touching affect both the body and soul. This is the treatment based on tenderness and good emotions. This massage is like a work of art creating good mood at the moment of watching it and keeping it for long afterwards. Ma-uri Massage is good for all whatever your age and state of health.
