Best Massage / Spa in Whitfield, PA

FYI for the Massage Newbie

If you've never had a massage, you might not know what to expect. To begin, a single massage type doesn't exist. Here at Lords & Ladies Salon and Medical Spa, you can request several different types of massages, in fact.

The notion of being naked in a room with a stranger might also make you uncomfortable. However, you do not have to completely undress, nor should you feel obligated to participate in small talk or friendly banter. Undress to your level of comfort, and your massage therapist will adjust the drape as necessary. Your only job is to relax, and as long as you allow the masseuse to do his or her job, that will come.

Prior to your massage, schedule a consultation. The massage therapist needs to be aware of any meds, health conditions, and other elements that could affect your service. Be sure to mention any issues you had with prior massages, if applicable, and any areas of your body that are stiff or painful.

Therapeutic Massage – The classic Swedish style massage employs oil or lotion along with medium-pressure strokes, taps, vibration, kneading, and rubbing to relieve the tension from the muscle groups over your entire body.

Deep Tissue Massage – Deeper tissues within muscles are harder to reach. This muscle style requires more intense pressure, so the massage can be a bit uncomfortable. You might be prescribed this type of massage to alleviate the symptoms of some health conditions, such as osteoarthritis. If the service becomes uncomfortable, let your masseuse know to lighten the pressure.

Hot Stone Massage – The pain-relieving properties of heat and massage combine forces in a hot stone massage. Heated basalt rocks placed strategically on the body will maximize the outcome of the massage, allowing deeper reach without as much pressure.

Prenatal Massage – After the first trimester of pregnancy, a prenatal massage benefits the mother by relieving her discomfort and preparing her joints and muscles for the rigors of childbirth. Expect to be facedown with an apparatus to accompany a baby belly or to be on your side supported by pillows.

Aromatherapy Massage – This style of massage pairs the traditional full-body massage with therapeutic-grade essential oils mixed into the massage lubricant and diffused throughout the room. The power of the scent to relieve stress shouldn't be underestimated.

A top-notch massage provides a plethora of benefits to the mind, body, and spirit. Your mind will be free of stress; your body free from pain; and your spirit will be free from the burdens of anxiety! A good massage can treat everything from migraines to allergies, insulin resistance, insomnia, and a plethora of other ailments.
