Five basic techniques are used in Swedish massage to manipulate the body’s soft tissues and invigorate natural healing and circulation processes. These techniques include kneading, rolling, vibrations, percussion, and tapping. Friction is eliminated through the use of natural oils on the surface of the skin, which allows restorative energy to flow naturally.

This massage uses the ancient Indian technique of placing warm basalt stones on the body. The energy in the warm stones, used with soothing massage techniques, enhances relaxation and alleviates tension. This therapy works best as part of a Swedish or Fire massage.

Warm bamboo massage provides a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing. Heated bamboo stalks of varying lengths and diameters promote circulation, sensory nerve perception, and lymphatic drainage. This massage technique enhances deep-tissue therapeutic and Earth massages.
