“Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck!” the Genie exclaims as he’s released from his lamp in the beloved Disney Classic Aladdin. Children watching this scene have a laugh, but adults who suffer from pain and stiffness know all too well the reality of living life with tense and sore muscles. Luckily for us, there are different forms of massages designed specifically for treating different pains and ailments in the body.
Chair Massage
At Salon James, we offer chair massages as one of the many options as part of our spa services. Chair massages mainly focus on the back, arms, neck, and shoulders. For a less intense, targeted massage, we suggest the chair massage if you’re looking to loosen up your muscles.
Swedish
One of the most popular massage techniques, the Swedish massage, uses long, smooth strokes, kneading motions, and circular movements on the superficial layers of your muscles. Masseuses use massage lotion or oil, and can be very gentle and relaxing. The main goal of the Swedish massage is to relieve tension in your muscles, and can be beneficial as part of a rehabilitation program after an injury.
Hot Stone
With hot stone massages, heated, smooth stones are places on acupressure points on the body to warm and loosen tight muscles and balance energy centers in the body. Hot stones can be used as massage tools by the massage therapist, or they can be left in place. With the warmth comes loosened muscles, making for a comforting and relaxing experience.
Deep Tissue
For those who suffer from painful or stiff “trouble spots,” the deep tissue massage is highly suggested due to the slow, deliberate strokes that targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The massage therapist uses slower friction techniques across the grain of the muscle to relieve chronic patterns of tension. Deep tissue massages are best for those with repetitive strain on their muscles, postural problems, or those recovering from injury.
Reflexology
Reflexology is the application of pressure to your feet, hands, and ears to affect different parts of your body to overall promote health and well-being. It’s been known to reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, and enhance a person’s relaxation and sleep cycle.
Bodybraison
This body experience is offered exclusively at Salon James. What starts out as a Swedish massage turns into a life-changing experience with Dr. Lili Fan’s body microdermabrasion formula, created just for Salon James. Dr. Fan’s creation is a probiotic-peptide microdermabrasion formula that will make a visible difference in your skin, and will leave it feeling great too!
Different kinds of massages give different benefits to the body. It’s important to listen and take care of your body. Come into Salon James and let the professionals help you feeling good as new.
