Therapeutic:
Therapeutic massage includes deep tissue, neuromuscular, and various
hydrotherapy techniques. It intervenes in the cycle developed
by trauma and/or injury, soft tissue dysfunction and lack of movement
often accompanied by pain. Therapeutic massage is often used in
chiropractic offices and medical massage clinics.
Integrated:
This approach uses a variety of the above methods. The student
will also blend the styles he or she knows and then design the
massage for the individual client. CSHA offers many different
massage modalities in the student’s training. The student
may incorporate one or more of these methods into the client’s
individual massage session.
Spa Treatments
Lymphatic
Drainage: The lymphatic system is a specialized component
of the circulatory system, responsible for waste disposal and
immune response. These gentle and deeply relaxing treatments are
beneficial for clients who are challenged with water retention
and edema, sinus congestion, cellulite, a sluggish immune system,
and much more! Treatments will focus primarily on the face, neck,
upper torso and legs. Combined with a light Swedish massage, these
treatments are the prefect answer for a “Type A” lifestyle.
Lymphatic drainage is used in most resort spas and salons, medical
spas and specialized wellness clinics.
Body
Scrub: Spa clinic students will offer a variety of exfoliating
treatments designed to stimulate circulation, remove cellular
debris, remineralize and nourish the skin and increase vitality.
These treatments include a complimentary dry brushing of the body
to stimulate the lymphatic flow and prepare the skin to receive
the optimal benefits of the treatment. Your skin will glow! Body
scrubs are used in most resort spas and salons.
Hot
Stone: Warm, smooth, basalt stones are employed by the
student to warm and relax the tissues. The warmth of the stones
melts away tension and allows for the benefits of a deeper massage
without the discomfort. Stones will also be placed on the body
to facilitate a soothing spot treatment. Aromatherapy oils are
used to compliment the treatment for one of the most relaxing
massage experiences ever! Hot stone treatments are used in resort
spas and salons and specialized wellness clinics.
