Swedish Massage

Also called relaxation massage, Swedish massage uses long, firm, gliding strokes and kneading of muscles for a relaxing and invigorating experience. Five basic strokes are used, all of which direct blood circulation toward the heart. Benefits of Swedish massage include increased circulation, oxygenation of the blood and tissues, release of toxins from the muscles, flushing of metabolic wastes from the tissues, stretching of ligaments and tendons and the reduction of stress.

Aromatherapy Massage

During aromatherapy massage, highly concentrated plant oils called essential oils are added to the massage oil or lotion. Essential oils have different healing properties and can have a calming, energizing, decongesting or cleansing effect depending on the needs of the patient. Aromatherapy is particularly helpful for those with stress- or emotionally-related conditions such as insomnia, stress headaches or digestive disorders.

Neuromuscular Massage

Also called trigger point massage, neuromuscular massage is a form of deep tissue massage used on individual muscles to increase circulation, reduce pain, and release pressure on nerves caused by injuries. The deeper layers of muscles are worked using slow, deep pressure strokes. Many patients find neuromuscular massage to help with conditions from headaches and neck stiffness to tennis elbow and back pain.

Deep Tissue/Neuromuscular Massage

Deep tissue/neuromuscular massage is a deep, vigorous massage that focuses on the primary muscles used by competitive athletes as well as other active individuals. As a regular maintenance program, this massage helps athletes to perform their best while avoiding injuries. Deep tissue/neuromuscular massage is also used prior to and after athletic events to ready the athlete for competion and aid in flushing lactic acid from the muscles afterward.

Hot Stone Massage

During your hot stone massage at Spa Greystone, smooth stones are heated, placed on the body and used to massage certain areas. The heat from the stones warms and relaxes the muscles, improves circulation and calms the nervous system. The combination of warm stones and the soothing touch of our professional masssage therapists will take you to a new level of relaxation.

TMJ Massage

The many functions of the jaw or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) include speaking, chewing, swallowing and making facial expressions. People who experience pain and tightness in the jaw and surrounding areas can benefit from TMJ massage techniques that relieve trigger points that can contribute to head, neck and back pain.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

The lymphatic system — consisting of nodes, vessels and organs — transports a clear fluid called lymph throughout the body and is an important part of the body's defense system. Using lymphatic drainage massage, our licensed Massage Therapists stimulate the lymphatic system with gentle massage to help eliminate toxins, clear blockages and boost the immune system.
