Why Choose Our Massage Therapy Services?

Integrated Custom Massage:
Integrated Custom Massage Therapy incorporates a variety of modalities, or types of massage techniques, to ensure the best-individualized treatment to each guest. Using different combinations of massage, allows your Massage Therapist to explore which modality is most beneficial for your health and wellness. The Massage Therapist at Natural State Namaste will consult with you at the beginning of your session to determine what modalities are best suited for you.

Ashiatsu Massage:
All Ashiatsu sessions will be performed on a mat with the client fully clothed. Please wear comfortable clothing. Ashiatsu is a massage technique dating back 2000 years that involves the therapist feet— rather than the hands — to a client’s body. In Japanese, ashi means foot, and atsu means pressure, making the literal translation “foot pressure.” Ashiatsu massage is effective in chronic pain reduction because it goes below the surface layers, manipulating the deeper layers of soft tissue. The pressure boosts circulation, which has the effect of reducing inflammation associated with chronic pain. It also allows for the release of connective tissues, which are responsible for discomfort people typically feel. This type of massage is also suitable for easing long-term back pain associated with poor posture, muscle strain, or degenerated or bulging discs.

Feet Reflexology:
Reflexology is a practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet.

Scalp Massage with Essential Oils:
Essential oils and massage is used to help stimulate blood flow to the scalp and relieve tension.

Invest in your well-being and prioritize self-care with our exceptional massage therapy services. Whether you seek relief from chronic pain, stress reduction, or simply a luxurious escape, our talented therapists at Saline Performance & Wellness Center are here to cater to your unique needs.

MASSAGE FAQ

What should I expect during my first massage therapy visit? 

Your therapist will begin by asking you general questions to establish what areas you would like worked on, if there are any conditions needing to be addressed and to determine if massage is appropriate for you. Your massage therapist may perform certain assessments and testing to evaluate your condition, and to see if you have any presenting complaints. 

What do I wear during the massage? 

Depending on the primary technique your therapist uses, you may or may not need to undress. For a full body massage, most people undress completely. However, you may choose to wear underwear. Your massage therapist will give you privacy to undress, and you will be covered with a sheet and blanket at all times except the area being worked on.

What do I do during a massage therapy treatment? 

Make yourself comfortable. If your therapist wants you to adjust your position, she or he will either move you or will ask you to move what is needed. Otherwise, change your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. It's up to you. It is your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax. Do not hesitate to ask questions at any time. 

How will a massage feel? 

It usually depends on the techniques used. Many massage therapists use a form of Swedish massage, which is often a baseline for practitioners. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes (effleurage) that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. Do not hesitate to ask questions or mention if you feel any discomfort so that the massage therapist can use another approach or technique. 

How will I feel after the massage therapy treatment? 

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. It is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage. Massage therapists sometimes recommend a hot Epsom salt bath that encourages the relaxation of muscles post massage.
