what type of massage does sante provide?
Sometimes spas divide their massage pricing out based on the type of work requested, i.e., extra charges for "Deep Tissue" and slightly less for "Swedish". At Sante, the cost of your session is based on the length of your massage session only. Please feel free to request the amount of pressue you prefer. You can expect to receive the best, most appropriate techniques suited to the needs your body happens to be presenting the day of your session. Each subsequent session will include a verbal reassesment to address your body's needs as they change over time.Based on your requests and the therapist's professional opinion, your massage will then include any or all of the following Integrative techniques: deep tissue, swedish, neuromuscular, sports-therapeutic, pre and post pregnancy, trigger-point work, positional release modalities, lymphatic, and reflexology.
Please NOTE: 1.5 hours is the highly recommended minimum time (especially if it's been a while since your last massage! :), for the most therapeutic benefit to your body. Ask any massage therapist--you get a great deal more whole-body benefit in those additional thirty minutes.
