Massage Therapy

Massage offered through the Family and MWR Fitness Department in a quiet, private environment. The following styles of massage are currently offered:

Swedish Massage
Swedish is the most common form of massage. This form is a soft manipulation of the superficial tissue and muscle. Often performed with fluent strokes to promote relaxation.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue is a more direct approach providing a deep intense massage to work out the kinks and knots on the body to create muscles that are more relaxed. This massage requires more effort and is done at a slower pace to allow deeper penetration of the muscle and connecting tissue.

Hot Stones
Hot Stones is one of the quickest methods to relax the nervous system. During this massage the therapist incorporates heat using basalt stones to promote a quicker method of relaxation. This massage is recommended for those who use hot showers, steam, or sauna as a form of relaxation. Not recommended for those with sensitivity to heat, high blood pressure, and those taken certain medications.

Treat yourself or your loved one to this refreshing service that will rejuvenate and bring you back for more!
