Massage Modalities (or Styles)
Deep Tissue/ Sports/ Medical Massage
Similar to Swedish, Deep Tissue uses the same 5 basic strokes, combined with oils or lotions. As implied by the name however, much more pressure is used in the massage to help eliminate more stubborn muscle tension and removed lactic acid from your muscles. This massage is very good for releasing the fascia (connective tissue around muscles and bones), and for releasing chronic muscle tension and knots.
The deeper pressure can activate sensitive areas, and feel tender, so checking in with your therapist often is a necessity. Strokes should always feel generally good, and more like the burn of a good workout. If at any point you feel your body reacting with tensing, spasms, or extreme pain, that is a sign of too much pressure. At that point, immediately let your therapist know so that adjustments can be made. If you allow your body to react, it can counteract work that has already been done, and the benefits of the massage may not be as noticible.
Sport Massage only references that special care is given to accomodate workouts or sports that the client has participated in. This helps guide the practitioner to ensure that the heaviest areas of wear and tear receive the most attention.
Value:
30 min spot treatment: $50.00
60 min full body: $75.00
90 min full body: $110.00

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage can be combined with any style that you find here on this page, however, most commonly it is preformed in the Swedish style.
Most importantly, pregnancy massage is preformed only on pregnant women. Depending upon the phase of the pregnancy, side-lying positions may be necessary to ensure proper blood flow to the fetus. Usually this is necessary later in the 2nd trimester and for all of the 3rd trimester. Light to firm pressure may be used, however, very deep pressure is to be avoided, especially to certain points of the body. Special body pillows can be used for lying face down, and regular pillows are often used to make side-lying positions more comfortable.
Value:
60 min full body: $65.00
90 min full body: $95.00
Also available: Commonly referred to as a post-partum massage, is a swedish massage given ideally within the first 24 hours after birth, but often within the first 3 days after birth. This massage is designed to provide the relaxation needed to produce elevated levels of Seratonin, which is thought to aid in avoiding the post-birth blues that some women experience.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage combines swedish techniques with luxurious heated polished volcanic stones. This is a great treatment to help warm up your muscles and body. The heat from the stones distracts overactive nerves allowing the therapist to use deeper pressure without resulting in any pain, which helps to deeply relax your body and release tight muscles. Also, the weight provided by stones left in place (a layout- as seen in the picture left) also helps the muscles to gradually release and relax over the duration of the massage. (Treasa's Hot Stone provides the client with 2 layouts: one while face up, and one while face down, for extra benefit.)
Wonderful to feel, this massage often gives the highest level of relaxation while also giving the highest level of relief from cronic or severe muscle tension. The result is a whole new more rejuvinated you.
Value:
60 min full body: $75.00
90 min full body: $110.00 --- This is the optimum time frame for the most benefit.
