Below is a description of the Massage Services offered at Hot Tamale Tanning and Massage, and the benefits of each
Swedish Massage: used primarily to relax the body and mind slowly. Light to medium pressured strokes are used over the body. It removes metabolic wastes and toxins from the muscles, stretches the ligaments and relaxes nerves while stimulating the skin. Very therapeutic for stress management. Deep Tissue/ Neuromuscular: used to release trigger points. The strokes used are deeper, slower, and direct touches. Deep tissue massage also uses breath and movement as well as specific hand movements. Hot Stone Massage: dates back to over 3000 years ago in India and China, more recently rediscovered in the southwest states. Hot Stone massage combines the benefits of hydrotherapy and thermalism. Warmed basalt stones are positioned on the body and moved using basic Swedish massage strokes. This is great for circulation. Reflexology: form of Chinese medicine that concentrates on reflex points. Most of the body's nerves end in either the hands or the feet. Pressing on these points stimulates organs, functions, and systems. Shiatzu: Japanese form of massage that uses applied pressure using thumbs, palms, knuckles, feet, and elbows on various Meridian points along the body, which are energy channels. It balances the functions of the body systems, both physically and mentally, promotes and maintains optimal health, and encourages the body's natural healing systems.
