Massage Therapy
While massage is commonly perceived as a luxury, the Chinese medical paradigm views it as an essential part of a healthy lifestyle that is every bit as important as exercising and eating right. Aside from being an invaluable diagnostic tool, Oriental massage therapy is incredibly effective in health maintenance, disease prevention and healing. Much like acupuncture treatment, the main function of Oriental massage therapy is to facilitate the flow of energy through your body. While its primary benefits include improving circulation, reducing muscle tension and increasing flexibility, Oriental massage can also be used to address specific, individual problems.
At Sattva, we specialize in two unique forms of massage: Japanese Shiatsu and Thai Massage. Both forms utilize a number of "steps"-including compression, rocking, stretching and acupressure-which are artfully choreographed as a kata, or dance, that will rejuvenate your body and relax your mind. Best of all, these forms of massage can be received wearing loose fitting clothes, with no oils, and normally last for over two hours. Come see what you've been missing out on, and experience total relaxation with an Oriental massage.
