A Wide Variety of Massages to Cater to Your Every Need
Spirit of Health
Spirit of Health is adept in many forms of massage therapies including hot stone, lomi lomi, hot stone, prenatal, and orthopedic. Right in our Cupertino studio, Cara pampers her clients looking for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Hot Stones
This specialty massage technique uses heated stones – typically basalt, a black volcanic rock – chosen because it absorbs and retains heat. Using hot stones on tight muscles allows them to surrender, enabling the body to fully relax.
Vibrocussor
A patented tool, the vibrocussor focuses on muscle fiber to break up calcium deposits and other toxins, such as scar tissue from surgery or injury. Felt throughout the body, it focuses on preparing specific areas for other massage techniques.
Orthopedic
Using a series of release techniques, orthopedic massage help muscles better prepare for a full-massage treatment. It is used in combination with other techniques to relieve tension and promote healing.
Prenatal Massage
A patented tool, the vibrocussor focuses on muscle fiber to break up calcium deposits and other toxins, such as scar tissue from surgery or injury. Felt throughout the body, it focuses on preparing specific areas for other massage techniques.
Seated Or Chair Massage
Perfect for parties or corporate events, this massage technique can be easily done in an office or public setting. Special attention is given to the neck, shoulders, and back, where the most tension is stored. Chair massages also treat forearms and wrists – a particular problem area for people who use computers for extended periods of time.
Esalen Massage
At the heart of each session, there is a sense of empowering each individual to regain a sense of harmony, reverence, and balance, in order to awaken inner resources for healing. Esalen reunites the connection through the entire body with gentle rocking, passive joint exercises, deep structural work on the muscles and joints, and long, healing strokes to achieve energetic balance.
Lomi Lomi
A sacred Hawaiian holistic healing tradition, Lomi Lomi goes beyond simple massage. To reduce friction, it’s performed directly on the massage table without bedding along with extra oil. Lomi Lomi practitioners apply extended strokes using their forearm, palms, fingers, knuckles, and elbows. As a result, broader and deeper massage strokes are achieved which tend to better relieve stress.
