massages

The primary reason Spa Royale offers many different kinds of massage techniques is because they all focus on different methods of relieving pain, improving skin health and color, and relieving stress. The wonderful thing about massage therapy is that the benefits are both short-term and long-term. Those who have never experienced a massage before can experience immediate relaxation, and those who receive regular massage treatments rarely see such benefits vanish.

Some of the types of massage we perform include:

• Traditional Swedish massage
• Himalayan Salt massage
• Deep tissue massage
• Hot stone massage
• Bamboo therapy
• Body wrap treatment

With a combination of other therapeutic enhancements like aromatherapy, music,
skin exfoliation, cupping, and scalp massage, our treatment options give our
clients a complete solution to discomfort, pain, and stress.

The long-term benefits of Swedish massages become apparent quite quickly. The pressure of the massage stimulates blood flow through the body. For some, this has relieved common and lasting pain associated with back problems and nervous system conditions.

The main difference between the two techniques is in their purpose. Where the Swedish massage is meant to induce relaxation with light pressure, a deep tissue massage requires the masseuse to increase the pressure to reach muscle groups that reside beneath muscles and tissue nearer to the surface. The pressure required can be intense and sometimes painful. It is common for a masseuse to use his or her fingers, fists, and even elbows.

Deep tissue massages are recommended for athletes, distance runners, and for those suffering from long-term injuries. We often work with the clients of doctors who have recommended us. We love helping those suffering from debilitating pain find an effective way to relieve their symptoms!

The benefits of salt have been studied for hundreds of years. Besides containing a higher concentration of essential minerals, salt is a very effective exfoliant. This allows skin to better retain moisture and reveal a more youthful and smooth appearance. Before the massage itself, polished and heated portions of Himalayan salt are placed in specific places to loosen and relax the muscles needing the most attention.

Many of our clients swear by the Himalayan salt massage because of how relaxed they feel afterwards. You will feel many benefits right away, including deeper sleep, smoother skin, and relief from muscle pain.

If you have ever used a face mask to exfoliate and brighten your skin, then you have a partial idea of the purpose of a body wrap. Using a mix of ingredients that include mineral-rich mud, creams, and essential oils, the body mask is applied before covering the mask with warm coverings that allow the body to relax, open pores, and improve your skin’s health.

Naturally, the mask and the warm covering will make you sweat. While it may appear that the body mask has helped you lose a pound or two, the weight loss comes from a loss of water from sweating. Don’t be alarmed, however; just be sure to drink lots of water after the treatment!
