Massage, cupping, and other body treatments offer various physical benefits. Ashibar Spa is a Moroccan-inspired spa in Saint George that offers massages and other relaxation services. Here is more information about the benefits of a spa day for overall well-being:
Muscle Tension Relief
A spa provides multiple types of massages designed to relieve muscle tension. Swedish massage, a milder form of full-body massage, helps ease soreness with gentle to moderate pressure and flowing strokes. If you are experiencing chronic tension or deeper knots, a deep tissue massage may be appropriate. This type of massage focuses on deeper layers of muscle, and the therapist administers slow and deliberate pressure. A full-tissue massage is helpful for the neck, legs, lower back, and shoulders.
If you play sports or are chronically active in other ways, learn about receiving a sports massage. These types of massages are goal-oriented, designed to relieve muscle tension and support recovery after workouts or injuries. This form works through grounded pressure and helps with inflammation caused by repetitive movements.
Relieving muscle tension can help reduce tightness or soreness in different parts of your body. Reducing tightness will help you feel less physically stiff and improve your posture. We offer add-ons to the massage experience, including hot stone massages that help relax the muscles.
Joint Mobility Enhancement
Treatments performed by experienced massage therapists during your spa day are able to help you increase flexibility and mobility, making it easier to move. The stretching and focused muscle treatment in a sports massage helps improve joint movement, which can enhance performance in training and physically demanding jobs. A full-body Thai stretch massage functions as a supported form of yoga; the massage therapist helps you stretch, performs rhythmic compression, and applies pressure to increase flexibility. The stretching techniques help relieve tightness in the hips and shoulders. This is beneficial for individuals who want to increase their ability to stretch and move comfortably.
A deep tissue massage also helps improve your body’s range of motion. Fascia and tight muscles reduce movement, and deep tissue massages help relieve tension. This allows you to perform everyday physical activities more easily; this can include tasks that involve bending over, stretching, and walking. Couples massage options at Ashibar Spa include Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massages, allowing you to chat quietly with your partner during your treatments.
Circulation Improvement
The different types of strokes in massage therapy contribute to circulation improvement. Longer strokes in Swedish massage and the applied pressure in deep tissue massage help promote blood flow. Ashiatsu massage is performed with a massage therapist’s feet instead of their hands. This allows the therapist to administer a thorough massage with broader movements and increased pressure. The compressive movements of Ashiatu massage also assist with increased blood flow. Circulation improvement can help with:
- Sending oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissues
- Assisting with lymphatic drainage
- Promoting overall recovery
A Thai stretch massage stimulates movement and circulation, while sports massage helps remove metabolic waste from physical exertion to support overall wellness. To complement these therapeutic benefits, we create a calming spa experience. We do this with soft lighting and a clean, comfortable atmosphere.
