90 Minute Therapeutic Massage

Service Description

A 120-minute massage session designed for relaxation and targeted pain relief can be a profoundly rejuvenating experience. Here's a summary of what it would entail and how it would feel: ### 90 Minutes of Relaxation **Setting the Scene:** The environment is serene, with dim lighting, soft music, and a comfortable, warm massage table. Aromatherapy might be used to enhance relaxation with calming scents like lavender or chamomile. **Full-Body Massage:** The first 90 minutes focus on a full-body massage aimed at inducing relaxation. The massage therapist uses long, flowing strokes (effleurage) combined with gentle kneading (petrissage) to promote circulation and release muscle tension. **Mind-Body Connection:** The soothing touch helps quiet the mind, reducing stress and anxiety. You may find yourself drifting into a meditative state or even falling asleep, as the rhythmic movements lull you into deep relaxation. **Therapeutic Techniques:** Techniques like Swedish massage are commonly used during this phase. The therapist might also incorporate gentle stretching and range-of-motion movements to further ease muscle tightness and improve flexibility. ### 30 Minutes of Targeted Pain Relief **Focus Area:** After 90 minutes of full-body relaxation, the therapist shifts focus to the specific area requiring pain relief, such as the lower back, neck, shoulders, or any other area where you're experiencing discomfort. **Deep Tissue Techniques:** The massage transitions to deeper techniques aimed at relieving pain and tension in the targeted area. This may involve more pressure and slower, deeper strokes to reach underlying muscles and connective tissues. **Trigger Point Therapy:** The therapist might use trigger point therapy, applying direct pressure to knots or tight spots that refer pain to other areas. This can help release muscle spasms and improve overall function. **Specially Formulated Pain Relief Topical Salves and Oils:** During this phase, the therapist will use specially formulated pain relief salves and oils designed to enhance the therapeutic effects, providing additional relief and soothing the affected area. **Customized Approach:** The intensity and techniques are tailored to your comfort level and the specific issues in the targeted area. Communication with the therapist is key to ensure the pressure is effective but not overly painful. Overall Sensation **Immediate Effects:** Post-massage, you will likely feel an overall sense of relaxa
