MASSAGE THERAPY - (Rancho Mirage Office)

Swedish / Mild Deep Tissue Massage Swedish Massage
This is one of the most enduring and well-known forms of massage. This combination session is designed for those who prefer a gentle topical massage. This massage merges the established long sweeping strokes of Swedish massages with a mild pressure on muscle and trigger points. This moderate but invigorating massage session is meant to stimulate circulation and oxygenate the body’s superficial muscles.

Sports Massage
Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for great physical exertion or
to help them recover after competitive events. But, you don’t have to be an Olympian to benefit from a Sports massage. It’s an excellent therapy for individuals with chronic pain, restricted range of motion, or a specific injury.
A Sports Massage is a good alternative therapy for specific problems such as a stiff knee, locked shoulder, or pulled hamstring.

During this session, specific attention is paid to the muscles of the problematic areas rather than providing a standard full-body massage.

Holistic Deep Tissue / Myofascial Massage
The familiar techniques of Deep Tissue bodywork are combined with the holistic bodywork technology of Myofacial Release. Myofascial Release is a massage method that focuses on gentle but steady pressure techniques that stretch the soft connective muscle-tissue known as Fascia. Fascia is attached to, wraps around, and moves through the body’s muscles, bones, and ligaments.
Fascia constriction is the major contributor to body pain. When gentle steady pressure is applied to the body’s interconnected muscle-tissue, the Fascia “releases” the holding pattern of muscle pain, which results in a more noticeable postural realignment, flexibility, and relaxation.

This whole body massage is excellent for recovering from overall body stress because of sleep habits or stressful postures maintained during work, like sitting at a computer.

Tension Therapy Massage ~
Signature Massage ~ Hot Jade Gemstones w/ Deep Tissue
Put away the hot lava rocks of Spas and get pampered with a new kind of hot stone therapy available now at
La Quinta Med Spa. Tension Therapy Massage is a combination of the traditional deep tissue massage with a new take on hot stone therapy. Hot stone therapy uses Lava or Basalt stones to help quickly reduce muscle inflammation and tension, which assists the therapist in reaching deeper muscles.

The difference at La Quinta Med Spa is that Tension Therapy uses actual semi-precious Jade Stones instead of the black rocks and includes Deep Tissue work as well.

This collection of Chinese Jade Gemstones is hand carved and smooth in texture, which makes for a silkier feel to the massage. They are naturally holistic and energetically balanced. They maintain their heat radiance better than the rocks. And since they are nonporous, they are more hygienic than the standard hot stones used by Spas. Indulge yourself without over spending for it.
