Our Story
When many people think of the spa, they think "relaxation" and "luxury". When designing our space, we had these two ideals in mind. However, when it comes to our services, our intent is that when you leave our facility you not only feel better, you are better. Relaxation is a by-product of what we do, not the entire purpose of what we do. We employ a wide variety of techniques and products to achieve the results you want.
The Touch Research Institute has conducted over 100 studies on the positive effects of massage therapy on many functions and medical conditions in many different age groups. Among the significant research findings are enhanced growth (e.g. in preterm infants), diminished pain (e.g. fibromyalgia), decreased autoimmune problems (e.g., increased pulmonary function in asthma and decreased glucose levels in diabetes), enhanced immune function (e.g., increased natural killer cells in HIV and cancer), and enhanced alertness and performance (e.g., EEG pattern of alertness and better performance on math computations). Many of these effects appear to be mediated by decreased stress hormones. from https://www6.miami.edu/touch-research/Research.html
