Stowe Village Massage Services & Pricing

Therapeutic Massage

Offers a combination of light to medium pressure massage using a variety of strokes such as effleurage, kneading, compression, warming friction, vibration and/or percussion. This is NOT a Deep Tissue massage. If this is your first massage or if you have painful conditions such as Fibromyalgia or arthritic conditions this is a great option for you. Also, if you prefer firmer massage but don’t quite want Deep Tissue this modality is ideal for you. How much pressure is right for you? Please communicate with our Massage Therapists during your session and let us know if you would like more or less pressure.

Deep Tissue Therapy

Deep Tissue Massage is excellent for relieving chronic muscle tightness, helping with injury recovery, breaking down scar tissue, releasing knots and loosening connective tissue. Our practitioners employ a variety of techniques in Deep Tissue Therapy dependent upon their background and training – from deep Swedish to structural bodywork to neuromuscular and trigger-point therapy, we will work with you and within your comfort zone. There may be side effects of deep tissue massage and it varies from person to person – and it can even vary for you depending on what’s going on in your body the day you get a massage. Typically, people may feel more muscle soreness for a day or two after the massage. A deep tissue massage shouldn’t cause horrible pain—and if it does you need to tell your therapist you need less pressure. Another side effect is a feeling of disorientation when the massage is over. You may be a little light headed and out of it. That’s very normal. Just move slowly when get off the table and drink some water. Finally, massage will leave you dehydrated. That’s why your therapist gives you water when it’s over. It is very important to drink plenty of water after any massage.

Maternity Massage

Sweet relaxation for the expectant mother. Prenatal massage is beneficial for relieving lower back pain and neck pain that occur as the center of gravity shifts with the growing baby. Massage can help with relieving fatigue, softening the emotional and hormonal changes pregnancy brings and fluid retention. It will bring a feeling of lightness and mental clarity.

Cupping Massage

Cupping Therapy is a safe, traditional treatment that helps resolve chronic muscle tightness and pain faster than massage therapy alone. The suction from the cups increases circulation to the area and the additional blood flow helps promote cell repair. Increasing circulation with cupping also helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cupping therapy has many other benefits. It encourages tissues to release toxins. Focused blood flow helps your body by flushing built-up toxins through the lymphatic system. Cupping reduces anxiety. When the cups glides across your skin, your parasympathetic nervous system engages which promotes deep relaxation even several hours after the end of the session. You usually will feel a tight sensation in the area of the cup. Cupping is contraindicated on open wounds, bone fractures, allergic skin conditions and ulcerated sores, inflamed areas and at time of fever. Any cardiac conditions or pregnancy, please consult with your doctor prior to scheduling a Cupping session.

Reflexology

For thousands of years, foot massage has been used to relax and rejuvenate. Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to specific points or areas of the feet to stimulate and revitalize all the organs and systems of the body.

Shiatsu – On the table only

The Japanese word shiatsu means “finger pressure”. Shiatsu provides a nurturing and soothing way to release blocked energy and imbalances. The practitioner uses thumbs, palms and elbows to apply comfortable and appropriate pressure to specific points along energy channels in the body known as meridians. Shiatsu is exceptional in assisting the relief of stiff or sore muscles, headaches, tension and insomnia. Shiatsu can be done on the floor on a mat or on the table. Please let us know if you have a preference.

Sports Massage

Sports massage utilizes facilitated stretching and massage of varying pressures to encourage greater flexibility, balance and coordination, to better align posture and help prevent or recover from injury. This style is a “maintenance” or “rehabilitative” massage to be experienced when the body is in normal resting state. Please allow at least 2 hours in between your work-out and your massage for best results.

Stone Massage

Using hot and sometimes cold stones, some of which are kept stationary and other stones continually in motion, the stone massage helps to improve circulation, relieve inflammation and calms the nervous system. It provides deep muscle relaxation and enhances the body’s natural healing process. Stone massage is not only good for the body, but for the mind and emotions, too. Stone massage may leave you feeling more focused or “down to earth”. A pleasure not to be missed.

*Not recommended for our pregnant clients. Those sensitive to heat should make their therapist aware before treatment.

Thai Massage

Thai massage is an ancient form of mediative massage going back more than 2,500 years. It combines techniques of assisted yoga stretching and pressure point manipulation to work along the energy lines of the body. The therapist uses their hands, knees, feet and legs to move the client into a series of postures applying gentle, steady pressure tailored to each guest’s needs. The treatment eases tension, revitalizes energy, improves flexibility and releases toxins. It is a non-oil massage performed on a floor mat – loose clothing is worn throughout. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing such as yoga pants or sweats to your appointment.
