OUR SERVICES
Come. Relax. Let us relieve your tension
Thai Massage
During THAI MASSAGE our Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) uses extension, retraction and compression to help reduce stress, and improve flexibility and range of motion.
Thai Massage is more energizing than other forms of massage. Our CMT will move and stretch you on one of our soft, low, wide Thai Massage tables. At some point during your session, the CMT will ask “Is it OK if I walk on your back?”
Thai Massage can reduce muscle spasms and back pain, and has been shown to be useful in treating balance problems as well as migraine symptoms.
$85 for 60-minutes.
$125 for 90-minutes.
$160 for two hours.
Deep Tissue
DEEP TISSUE therapeutic massage targets muscle adhesions (or “knots”) and specific problem areas in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.
Using deliberate, slow strokes or friction across the grain of the muscle, the therapist addresses chronic tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or injuries.
While it’s true that the pressure of deep tissue is generally more intense than that of a Swedish massage, it shouldn’t have to be painful to be effective. If you’re experiencing pain, let your massage therapist know right away.
This type of massage can be particularly beneficial for people with chronic pain, limited mobility, repetitive stress injuries such as tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis.
$85 for 60-minutes.
$125 for 90-minutes.
$160 for two hours.
Sports Massage
Intended to prevent, as well as treat injuries, SPORTS MASSAGE can improve flexibility and enhance athletic performance. Commonly used by athletes of all abilities to prepare for, or recover from, athletic or sports events.
Sports Massage can relieve muscle pain/restricted range of motion. Can help with increased blood flow, increased range of motion, and increased flexibility.
Sports Massage is essentially Deep Tissue massage targeted to the area requested by the client. The strokes are generally faster than Swedish massage. May also include compression, pressure point therapy, friction, and joint mobilization.
$85 for 60-minutes.
$125 for 90-minutes.
$160 for two hours.
Swedish Massage
Using Biotone® massage lotion or Coconut oil, our CMT begins with broad general strokes and then transitions to specific strokes to address problem areas described by the client.
There are five basic strokes in Swedish Massage therapy: Effleurage (long smooth strokes), Petrissage (kneading, rolling, and lifting), friction (wringing or small circular movements), tapotement (percussion), and vibration (rocking and shaking movements).
Swedish massage provides full-body muscle relaxation, and it can be especially helpful when recovering from an injury.
$45 for 30-minutes.
$85 for 60-minutes.
$125 for 90-minutes.
$160 for two hours.
Couples Massage
We offer same-room COUPLES MASSAGE.
We are frequently able to accommodate same-room massages for walk-in couples, but we encourage an appointment to ensure availability of a double room.
$160 for 60-minutes.
$230 for 90-minutes.
$300 for two hours. Per Couple.
Hot Stones
Hot Stone Massage uses warmed stones. Our CMT places heated, smooth stones on specific points on the body and holds the warm stones while giving the massage.
The stones are basalt (a volcanic rock that retains heat well). The warmth of the stones can be relaxing and can loosen tight muscles so that the therapist can reach areas of muscle tension quickly. Most commonly used in conjunction with one of the other types of massage.
Included at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE with every one-hour (or longer) Table Massage.
We Offer Massage
Different kinds of massages have different benefits. What type of massage you need? There are various types of massage, each which will produce results in its own way. Some massage techniques will be more about relaxation and stress-relief, while others may ease pain and restore range of motion.
Your selection of the type of massage services will depend on your own personal goals or needs.
Gaslamp Thai Muscle Therapy offers a pre-massage consultation where you can get into the specifics about your issue and the desired results you would like to achieve.
Massage Therapy Glossary
Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. Here are the different types of massage that we offer:
Thai Massage. This is a form of therapeutic touch that differs in many ways from traditional massage. Instead of a massage table, you lie on a mat on the floor while the provider manipulates your body in certain ways to stimulate organs and improve flexibility.
Thai massage is part of traditional Thai medicine. Similar to Chinese medicine, it works with the body’s energetic pathways. These are also called sen.
- Swedish Massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping. It helps you feel relaxed and energized.
- Deep Tissue Massage. This massage technique uses slower, more penetrating strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s commonly used to help with muscle damage from injuries.
- Sports Massage. This is similar to Swedish massage, but it’s geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
- Trigger Point Massage. This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.
