What is Navarre Aromatherapy Massages?
By Cristi Enache

How do you beat the blues and stress? Just the thought of overhauling your emotions so you will feel better again seems like a huge task. You can choose to entertain yourself with movies or take that vacation you have been promising yourself.  And yet, the thought of expending your energy doing them just make you feel even more lethargic.  So, is there a way to relax without changing the scene and just be comfortable staying in place?  It might surprise you but there is.  Aromatherapy Massage is a natural stress buster that works wonders to mind and body and relaxation can come to you even without much effort.

The distinctiveness of aromatherapy from other types of massage therapy relies on the application of aromatic oils. These aromatic oils, also known as essential oils, primarily come from botanical properties. Aromatherapy, also called clinical aromatherapy and medical aromatherapy, is based on the belief that the sensations originating from our nostrils go directly to a particular part of the brain known as the limbic system which is related to emotion and memory. These aromatic oils are powerful stimuli which stir the limbic system and create positive feelings.  Aromatherapy is used by some professionals in treating emotion-related conditions. Aside from this, it is also known to be effective in pain management.

How is aromatherapy done? Basically it is any method which makes use of pleasant scents. Just laying comfortably in a quiet and still location and inhaling scented candles or fragrant-filled potpourri is relaxing. This mode of application is known as aerial diffusion. You can also try direct inhalation or topical application. What is even more interesting about aromatherapy is you can make your own oil. Want yours to be for relaxing, or for healing? Get your recipe from Navarre Massage and concoct your own formula of aromatherapy.  Bring your custom oil with you when you have our massage therapist provide you with the relaxing massage of your choice.

Are you stressed? Then I recommend a Navarre Deep Tissue Therapy or hot stone therapy session. I’ve had five massages in my lifetime, and I want more. But the best one I had was the hot stone session.

My very first experience with this type of treatment I had was a typical relaxation session, called the Swedish. I made the appointment with a friend, and the two of us went to the spa together. The therapist knew this was my first one, so she explained exactly what she would be doing. Although it was very relaxing, I did have some very tight muscles. She tried to work through the knots, and as you might imagine that deep pressure was a little uncomfortable. However, in the end, the entire session was very relaxing. I knew I wanted to come back for more massages in the future.

And I did. The second one I had was a deep tissue therapy, designed to actually work through those knotted muscles. I have some problems with my shoulders, and I often have knots that just won’t go away, so the licensed therapist recommended the deep tissue technique as a way to alleviate my pain and try to loosen the knots in my shoulders. The deep tissue technique often takes more time to do, and can sometimes be a bit painful, but when all was said and done, the muscles were much looser and I felt completely relaxed. I do recommend drinking lots of water to flush the toxins out of your body if you choose this type of therapy.

Although I was in a different city for the next one, I opted to get just a relaxing session, not the deep tissue one again. The third one I had was just the relaxing Swedish type again. These are well worth the money, and are the basics that most therapists give when you ask for a massage. They are designed to relax you and loosen your muscles.

My first hot stone therapy session was the fourth type of treatment I experienced. If I had to choose between the different types of treatments available today, the hot stone technique is the best one I’ve tried. The therapist began the session like any other, loosening my muscles and relaxing me. However, she added heated flat stones to the massage. She had dipped the stones in oil, too, so they slide easily over my skin. The stones provided an extra amount of heat which helped relax my muscles. It also seemed that she was able to get deeper into the tissue with the stones than she would have otherwise.

Needless to say, the next time I opted for a relaxing therapy session I definitely went for the hot stone massage, too. It was just as relaxing as the first. I would certainly recommend this type of treatment to anyone who wants to get a one. I will be requesting this specialty technique for every other one I get in the future.

IN CONSTANT PAIN, WHAT COULD IT BE, WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR RELIEF

Do you have constant, widespread pain. Do you feel stiff, achy, tired a lot of the time? You might have a condition called fibromyalgia syndrome (fms). FMS can affect your muscles, tendons, ligaments and even your joints. The most common symptoms seem to be widespread pain, tenderness in 11/18 points on the body, and sleep disturbances, and what is known as “fibro fog”, which is where your mind feels like its in a fog.

Do some of these symptoms sound familiar? If you go to a medical professional they will likely diagnose you with FMS. They usually do this by ruling out other conditions. Then they will check 18 points on the body for pain and tenderness. If you have tenderness or pain in 11/18, you might be given a diagnosis of FMS.

You might ask ,What are some holistic ways to manage my FMS? Massage therapy has been one of the top-rated ways to improve short and long term pain. You can try to get moving. Exercise, particularly in hot water, has been shown to be effective according to a study published in the Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. Yoga and tai chi have also been very effective for the physical and emotional effects of FMS.

So what can you do to feel better—THINK THRIVE

T -touch, try to get some form of bodywork at least once month, particularly effective is hot stone therapy or myofascial release

H- Herbs and Hormones,

R- Rest, Re-balance, Sleep

I- Immune response- most have a high rate of infections, particularly influenza

V- Vitamins and Nutrition

E – Exercise

There are many sources of information out to try to help you. One reference I like is a book called “Fibromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome, A Survival Manual by Dr. Devlin Starlanyl

Don’t give up hope, there are ways to manage your pain—take care

THAI YOGA MASSAGE – A NEW SERVICE AT ISLAND ESCAPE MASSAGE & SPA, INC.

I am excited to be offering a new service, THAI YOGA MASSAGE. You might ask what Thai yoga is and who could benefit from this technique.

Thai yoga massage originated in Thailand and is used there as a highly physical branch of traditional Thai medicine. This technique can be described as assisted Hatha yoga.

Thai yoga is performed on the floor with clients wearing loose, comfortable clothing. The technique incorporates palming and thumbing the “sen” energy lines creating a slow, flowing massage based on some martial arts moves and some yoga positions to balance the body energetically and physically.

Not only does this technique tone and stretch muscles, like other benefits of massage, circulation is improved, and muscle tension and spasm can be reduced.

With the amount of physical position going on, the ideal client would be flexible, athletic, willing to explore new types of massage.

For the first few months, I will be offering a special price of $90 for a 75-90 minute Thai Yoga Massage. Come exercise and get calm at the same time.

Give us a call at 850-936-0515 to schedule your time with Kathi.
