FAQ
When should I not get a massage?
You should not get a massage if you are sick, have contagious skin conditions, or have skin conditions that can be exacerbated by massage. You should not get a massage if you are under the influence of a controlled substance, alcohol, or medications that are contraindicated for massage.

What is Hydrotherapy in massage?
Hydrotherapy is the use of water in its different forms in order to maximize the results of massage. We use heated hydrocollator packs to warm the muscles for a deeper effect and a cryo ball to balance the heat. By performing a contrast hydro treatment we essentially use vasodilation and vasoconstriction of the blood vessels to bring homeostasis.
Contraindications for hydrotherapy are: contagious diseases, open wounds, active infections, pregnancy, severe cardiovascular conditions, chronic heart disease, coronary artery disease, bleeding disorders, cancer, and inflammatory skin conditions like eczema.
What is the difference between static and dynamic cupping?
Static cupping is stationary, which means that the cups are applied and not moved. Unlike traditional cupping, dynamic cupping involves the movement of a suction cup on the body. Dynamic cupping may also involve the combination of cups in place and cups in movement in tandem. The cups also vary with the different styles. Static cupping mostly uses horn/suction cups while dynamic cupping uses a combination of cups including silicone cups.
Contraindications for cupping are: pregnancy, organ failure, pacemaker, bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, cancer, open wounds, bone fractures, and areas of deep vein thrombosis.
What is an infrared sauna and what are the benefits and contraindications?
Infrared saunas utilize infrared heaters that emit infrared light, which is absorbed by the skin and heats the body from the inside out. Infrared saunas are believed to offer numerous potential health benefits, including improved circulation, detoxification, pain relief, relaxation, and skin health. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas heat the body directly, allowing for lower temperatures and longer sessions. Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures (around 100-150°F) compared to traditional saunas (which can reach 150-195°F).
Health benefits include: detoxification, improved circulation, pain relief, stress reduction, and skin health.
Contraindications include: pregnancy, those with certain cardiovascular conditions, people prone to bleeding, fever, heat insensitivity, kidney problems, recent joint injury (within 48 hours), inflammation, infection, diabetes, implanted medical devices, obesity, cedar wood allergies, and medications that could be affected by heat.
Please note: Infrared saunas generally have low EMF levels, typically measured between 5-25 mG (milligauss), which is considered safe and well within recommended exposure limits. EMF stands for electromagnetic fields, which are waves of electric and magnetic energy that radiate through space, emitted by all electronic devices.
This infrared sauna is equipped with chromotherapy.
What is chromotherapy?
Chromotherapy, or color light therapy, is an alternative medicine practice that uses the visible spectrum of light to treat various physical, mental, and emotional ailments, based on the idea that different colors have unique healing properties.

Different colors are associated with specific effects on the body and mind.

Blue: Known for its calming and soothing properties, blue light therapy is used to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve mental clarity.
Green: Green is often seen as a universal healing color, promoting balance, harmony, and relaxation, and can be used to alleviate stress and anxiety.

Orange: Orange light therapy is believed to stimulate joy, boost enthusiasm, and aid in digestion, making it a good choice for those seeking to enhance their overall well-being.
Violet: Violet light therapy is associated with calming the nervous system, enhancing immunity, and reducing inflammation.
