Massage and mental health go hand in hand. Beyond its physical benefits, massage therapy has been shown to positively impact mental health, offering a holistic approach to wellness.

By targeting specific areas of the body, massage therapists can alleviate muscle tension, reduce the risk of injury, and optimize athletic potential.

Among the various techniques used in massage, hot stone massage therapy has gained significant popularity in recent years. This ancient practice involves the strategic placement of heated basalt stones to provide relaxing heat and long, flowing strokes.

You may have heard of massages where therapists use their feet to massage clients. This technique is referred to as ashiatsu and is one of the many services we offer at Prana Endura. The Japanese word translates to foot pressure, with ashi meaning foot and atsu meaning pressure.

At Prana Endura, we truly believe in the power of massage to help heal the body and relieve pain and discomfort. Sometimes, parts of our body don’t function and flow as they’re meant to, and massage can help put things back into place and flow properly.

When people are looking to book a massage, it may be for several reasons. Some may want a nice relaxing massage to relieve stress. Others may need more out of their session.

In general, when most people think of the typical massage, they’re likely thinking of Swedish massage.
