2. Treatment Specifics
Q: Which massage is best for chronic back and neck pain?
A: For persistent knots and muscle stiffness, we usually recommend our [Deep Tissue Massage]. It uses firm pressure to reach deeper muscle layers. Many clients also find that [Relaxation Massage] is excellent for releasing deep-seated tension in the back.
Q: What is the difference between Chinese Massage and Thai Massage?
A: [Chinese Massage (Tui Na)] focuses on acupressure points and energy flow (Qi) to balance the body. [Thai Massage] is often called "Lazy Man’s Yoga" because it involves more assisted stretching and compression to improve flexibility. Both are excellent for revitalization!
Q: What should I wear for a Thai Massage?
A: Unlike our oil-based [Full Body Massages], Thai massage is typically performed over clothing. We recommend wearing loose, comfortable gym-style clothing that allows for easy movement and stretching.
3. Health & Comfort
Q: Does Deep Tissue Massage hurt?
A: You may feel some "good pain" as our therapists work through stubborn knots, but the treatment should never be unbearable. Our professional therapists will always check in with you to ensure the pressure is exactly how you like it.
Q: What are the benefits of Cupping Therapy? A: Cupping is a traditional technique that uses suction to pull blood flow to the surface of the skin. It is fantastic for detoxification, improving circulation, and relieving deep muscle pain that manual massage sometimes can't reach.
