Benefits of Massage Therapy . . .

You can count on your massage at Santé to be conscientious, therapeutic and highly beneficial to your whole body.

Massage
is a powerful antidote to stress and has many physiological and
psychological benefits. It improves circulation of blood and movement
of lymph fluids, reduces blood pressure, strengthens the immune system,
relieves muscle tension and stiffness, and aids in relaxation of the
entire body. Massage anchors us and enhances calm thinking and clarity.
Lengthen . . . strengthen . . . and energize. A deeply relaxing,
stress-relieving, healthy treatment. Remember, receiving a professional
massage is equivalent to a 3.5 mile run for your whole body. It
increases your circulation which increases your body's blood flow
delivering vital nutrients to your entire body--bones, muscles and
organs included. Massage improves your body's range-of-motion,
flexibility, sleep pattern, physical stress level and digestion, to
name a very few. Whatever your massage needs are--to smooth through the
tension, pinch or ache in your neck, shoulders, or low back, or when
you are simply looking for some serious decompression and release.

WHAT TYPE OF MASSAGE DOES SANTE PROVIDE?:
Sometimes spas divide their massage pricing out based on the type of work requested, i.e., extra charges for "Deep Tissue" and slightly less for "Swedish". At Sante, the cost of your session is based on the length of your massage session only. Please feel free to request the amount of pressue you prefer. You can expect to receive the best, most appropriate techniques suited to the needs your body happens to be presenting the day of your session. Each subsequent session will include a verbal reassesment to address your body's needs as they change over time.
Based on your requests and the therapist's professional opinion, your massage will then include any or all of the following Integrative techniques: deep tissue, swedish, neuromuscular, sports-therapeutic, pre and post pregnancy, trigger-point work, positional release modalities, lymphatic, and reflexology.
* Please NOTE: 1.5 hours is the highly recommended minimum time (especially if it's been a while since your last massage! :), for the most therapeutic benefit to your body. Ask any massage therapist--you get a great deal more whole-body benefit in those additional thirty minutes.
