Massage

What are the benefits of a massage?

Massages offer a number of benefits. A massage is essential self-care to help you unwind after a long, stressful day. Massages ease the aches and pains of everyday activities and athletics, and they help to smooth the appearance of cellulite. 

What are the types of massages?

A wide variety of massages are available at Selah MediSpa and performed by certified massage therapists. These include:

Swedish relaxation 

This massage incorporates soothing and relaxing techniques. Swedish relaxation massage helps relieve pain associated with the sympathetic nervous system.

Deep-tissue massage

This massage is ideal if you play sports or participate in strenuous activities. Your massage therapist applies firm pressure to relieve muscle pain and tension.

Manual lymphatic drainage

With light, repetitive techniques, this massage helps improve lymphatic circulation and may minimize the formation of scar tissue. Lymphatic massages also relieve pain and discomfort. 

Sports Massage/Stretching

Everybody needs movement whether you sit for long hours every day or training for an athletic event. After a brief consult, a customized stretch to include coordinating muscles is implemented so as to receive the maximum benefits of an intentional stretch. In a 60 minute session, 6-8 muscle groups will be incorporated.

Example
• Lower back complaint
• Hip flexors
• Lower back
• Glutes
• Quads
• Hamstrings
• Calves
• Shins

The session will be performed fully clothed, and is excellent when coupled with infrared sauna
