Hot Stone therapy are only $20.

A hot stone massage is a type of massage in which the masseuse places smooth, hot stones on your back. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. The stones used in hot stone massage are typically basalt, volcanic rock that is usually high in iron, which allows them to absorb heat.

Hot stone massage placement. The placement of the stones during a hot stone massage will depend on the muscles and tissues that are being worked on. For example, if you have lower back pain, the masseuse may place the hot stones along your spine. Other common spots for hot stone placement include the abdomen, chest, face, feet, forehead, and palms.

Foot Scrub $20

A foot scrub is a treatment in which the feet are exfoliated with soap and rocks. The purpose of this process is to remove dead skin cells, reduce calluses, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension from standing or walking all day long, and soothe tired muscles.

Dry Foot Scrub

A foot scrub can be either considered “wet” or “dry.” In a dry foot scrub, the massage therapist will rub the sugar or pumice scrub into the feet of their client while doing a foot massage right on the massage table. Then hot towels are wrapped around the client’s feet. This not only feels good for the client, but it also helps remove the scrub from the feet. A rich moisturizer is then applied to the feet and the massage continues as usual.

Wet Foot Scrub

During a wet foot scrub, clients are taken out of the massage treatment room into a room where there is a warm foot bath or a Vichy shower. After applying the scrub to the client’s feet, they put the feet into the foot bath, or in the case of a Vichy shower, use one of the shower heads to wash off the feet. Once back in the massage treatment room, a moisturizer is then applied to the feet and the massage continues as usual.

Cosmetically, paraffin wax is often applied to the hands and feet. The wax is a natural emollient, helping make skin supple and soft. When applied to the skin, it adds moisture and continues to boost the moisture levels of the skin after the treatment is complete.

It can also help open pores and remove dead skin cells. That may help make the skin look fresher and feel smoother.

Hand / Foot Paraffin Wax individual $10
Both $20

Top 10 Benefits of Massage Therapy for Seniors

Increases blood flow to limbs – “Increasing circulation is the most important benefit for seniors,” “Good circulation can become increasingly difficult as we age, and massage therapy really helps the flow of the blood into the limbs.”
Improves balance and gait – Falling is consistently listed as one of the top concerns for seniors, as our bones tend to become more infirm as we get older. Due to massage’s ability to increase blood flow to the limbs, it helps to improve proprioception, or the sense of relative position of body parts, thus improving our balance and reducing our chances of falling.
Softens hard muscles and tissues – As we age, we generally become less active and so our muscles harden and get tighter. Massage helps to soften muscles and tissues by increasing blood flow to the areas and ultimately reducing overall muscle tension.
Produces feelings of caring and comfort – Some people enjoy massage because it can produce feelings of caring and connection. According to Lima, “Many seniors are touch-deprived due to the loss of a spouse or partner. The touch of massage really helps them to relax.”
Stimulates the nervous system – “Massage therapy releases endorphins, hormones and neurotransmitters that are beneficial for the functioning of the nervous system,” says Lima. Research has continually supported that claim, showing how therapeutic massage helps produce hormones that have enormous benefits on the body, including serotonin and dopamine (the happy hormone).
Eases stroke recovery – It used to be that bed rest was prescribed for up to 48 hours after a stroke, for fear of triggering another one. But that stance has flipped poles and now, following a stroke, seniors are advised to get up and moving again. A major aid to this is massage therapy because it stimulates affected areas, focusing on anything that might be paralyzed.
Increase flexibility – As our aging muscles tighten due to inactivity, it’s important to help them relax. Massage therapy softens up tight muscles and joints, enabling a wider range of motion in the activities of daily living.
Improves sleep – The relaxation benefit of massage extends well beyond the massage table. Lima has seen cases where therapeutic massage has helped some of his patients with dementia sleep through the night when they otherwise wouldn’t.
Immune support – “In my experience, people who get massages are sick far less than people who don’t. “Massage releases a lot of toxins and greatly supports the functioning of the immune system.”
Relieves arthritic pain – “Massage isn’t ever going to cure arthritis,“ but it helps to relieve the burning conditions.” Focusing on increased blood flow to the joints and warming affected areas has proven benefits in pain relief for those suffering from arthritis.
