What are the more popular types of Massage Treatments and what effect do these treatments have on the patient?

Gallaher Spa provides the three most essential Massage Therapy Treatments

Swedish Relaxation Massage

A traditional treatment, Swedish Relaxation Massage provides your system with an enhanced oxygen supply. This massage can help relieve symptoms of conditions that are aggravated by anxiety, such as asthma or insomnia. It also relieves pain from aching muscles, stimulates the nervous system and helps to release toxic waste from the body.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage uses the penetrating heat of volcanic Basalt stones to melt away muscle tightness and aches. The patient relaxes while the therapist places heated stones on specific points along the spine, in the palms of their hands, and even between the toes to improve the body’s energy flow.

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage realigns your mind and body. This massage adjusts deeper layers of muscles and connecting tissue to relieve a stiff neck, tightness in the lower back, and tense, aching shoulders.

Included in each of these massages is an an aromatherapy eye pillow treatment. An extension of Gallaher Plastic Surgery, Gallaher Spa provides not only Massage Therapies, but also, Facial Rejuvenation Treatments and Cosmetic Services performed by a fully licensed staff in a state of the art facility.
