What is a Swedish Massage?

Swedish Massage is the most popular form of massage therapy at Spas, Massage Clinics and Resorts.  It is one of the more relaxing massage therapies and involves long stroking movements,  vibration and shaking and techniques such as petrissage, tapotement, and effleurage using the forearm, palm, thumbs and elbows.  Other techniques and deep pressure may be used in our sessions, but are intended to educate our guests and are limited in scope and guests are asked to make their next appointment using a different therapeutic modality.  The main purpose is to increase oxygen flow and release toxins such as lactic acid that accumulates in the muscle tissue. In Sweden this type of massage is known as “classic massage”.

Massage therapy at minimum provides relief from muscular tension or spasm, expresses lymph fluid from tissue, increases circulation to soft tissue and improves the texture and tone of the skin and produces a feeling of relaxation.  Massage Therapy is frequently prescribed for patients concerned about pain management.    Areas to be treated may include scalp, face, neck and/or decollete, arms, legs, upper and lower back in all massage therapy sessions.  Other areas such as hip joints and abdominals are typically addressed in Sports Massage.

Detoxifying treatments cater to guests that want to shape up body and mind

I find that our guests are becoming increasingly aware of what goes into and onto their bodies.  In response, I have begun requiring our product lines to be more earth and body friendly and many are organic, vegan, gluten and paraben free and do not test on animals.  Medical grade skin care lines such as SkinCeuticals are primarily  botanical while utilizing the best and most effective medical grade components available on the market at a price point suitable for our market.

Detoxifying wraps and body treatments cater to this trend by allowing guests to shed toxins while firming and toning the skin in the areas that need it the most.  Special products are applied that increase circulation and are steam infused to accelerate the detoxifying effect through the largest organ in the body.  What a facial does for facial skin, and a pedicure does for the skin on the feet and lower legs, a body treatment is the most effective skin care treatment for the entire body.  With the additional benefit of the Hydro3 vichy shower and steam infusion, the treatments are intensified and more effective while reducing claustrophobia and increasing the detoxification effect in a more comfortable setting.  There is less mess too!

European spa-goers begin body treatments at a young age, and guests in our areas are taking increased advantage of the services and equipment offered here at Bella Fontana Spa.  Benefits include stress relief, increased tone and firmness to the skin, temporary inch loss and stimulation of the metabolism.  To reach your goals while dieting and exercise try two or three sauna sessions and body treatments each week for inch loss and a better appearance in those critical body areas.  Add on a Lift and Tone Facial Massage or 45 Minute Therapeutic Massage and you will truly feel renewed and energized by the results you can see.

Instant Gift Certificates!

Bella Fontana Spa opened its doors in September of 2005.  The Spa has been recognized each year after the first full year of operation in 2006 by the Voters in the Herald Democrat’s Best of Texoma Award as the Best Day Spa, every year since 2007, and for Best Massage every year since 2008.  The Best of Texoma Award requires a signed ballot with an address and phone number, and the voters must vote in at least five categories for their vote to be tallied. Over 3,000 individual ballots are cast each year.  We appreciate and feel honored by this recognition from our community. 

 

One of our most popular purchases are our instant gift certificates.  Approximately 15-20% of our Gift Certificates have been purchased from out of state and as far away as Iraq and Afganistan by soldiers that want to treat someone special to a Spa-aaah! experience. 

The first time this happened, it was over the phone and it took several hours of conversation and disconnections to make it happen.  I determined to find a way to make it easy to purchase a gift certificate online, in the Spa or over the phone for anyone! 

Now, gift certificates can be purchased online, or you can call the Spa at 903.893.6222, or come in and we can even mail it directly to the recipient.  Always well received, a gift certificate from Bella Fontana Spa is appreciated by everyone.
