Maternity Massage

Sometimes it seems as though everyone around me is expecting. I guess at a certain age you begin noticing these things. But, anyway, this reminded me of the @-ease maternity massage (also known as the "prenatal massage") This massage gives expecting mothers the necessary break they need to calm their nerves and keep them and their baby healthy and relaxed. The receiving of a periodic massage helps pregnant women minimize the physical and emotional discomforts of pregnancy and childbirth, and is perhaps the best gift a mother-to-be can receive. Massage can help alleviate some of the most uncomfortable ailments that come along with being pregnant like: backaches, leg cramps, and ankle swelling. The @-ease maternity massage has documented therapeutic value and is much more than a soothing back rub: it's a tool to improve quality of life during this transformative phase.

I am in Love with Autumn... not in Love with Dry Skin.

I'm sorry, I can't keep my mind off the fact that it's autumn. I'm already planning dinner parties featuring cider and pumpkin pie. There's nothing that I love more than the approaching fall season. The air, the leaves, the food, the style. Everything except... dry skin. Dry skin always seems to ruin my optimistic fall feelings. But thankfully, with spa treatments I can keep my mind off my skin and on enjoying the season. With hydrating treatments and mud wraps you can nourish and detoxify your skin naturally while at the same time relaxing away tension. Body treatments will envelope your entire body, reaching every part and ensuring smooth luxurious and hydrated skin. You will be left feeling rejuvenated and ready to run in the changing leaves and host a delectable autumn dinner party.

The Power of Healing

According to the International SPA Association (ISPA), last year there were 14, 615 spas in the United States. In their research they have found a very large shift in spa trends from strictly exterior enhancement services to an increasing amount of services that treat your inside as well. Rather than focusing on Botox, spas look towards aroma therapy and other services that provide tranquility for the mind and muscles. New, natural anti-aging techniques also come in to play for the baby-boomers who want an organic alternative (like the Acai berry, wraps, and specialized massage). People today are now more concerned with health and beauty that comes from the inside - out. Here, at the @-ease spa we are happy to cater to these needs for a happier, healthier life along with spas all around the country.

Sporting Goods

If you are an athlete then you know the aches and pains that can often come along with it. And unfortunately for some, these aches and pains can be caused by injury that cause chronic pain. If you are an athlete or used to be one, getting the right spa treatment can ease these pains. But not just any spa treatment will suffice. The muscle stress or injury exists deep within the tissue. @-ease spa staff are trained to know where they are and how to relax them away. The Deep Tissue and Sport massage is a deep and accurate massage that is characterized by slow, strong strokes. It's a highly involved and complicated technique and should not be done by amateur masseurs. But before you come in for a treatment you should consult with our professional massage therapists to focus on the areas and muscle groups relevant to your particular needs. Playing sports is one of the greatest joys in life! Don't let aches and pains ruin the fun.

Happy Fall!

As the air gets cooler and the days a bit shorter, steal a moment on to relax, unwind and keep warm. Autumn is mine and most people's favorite season. It's such a comforting feeling to walk in the brisk air. It's the perfect time to get a Hot Stone massage. Extraordinarily soothing and calming, this massage employs smooth basalt stones, ranging in size, that are sanitized and heated in water. The warm stones on the skin will make the fall's overwhelming feeling of comfort feel even greater. With school starting and work getting a little more intense, utilizing a hot stone massage will relax the muscles, dissolve tension, and alleviate stress. You are then free to explore the changing leaves and beautiful "sweater weather" feeling relaxed and tension free.

Take a Break Superwoman/man!

You're not Superwoman for gosh sakes! You can't do everything all the time and forget about taking care of yourself. Stay balanced, don't let yourself fall into the tiresome grind of constant work and no play. Take time to relax every once in a while and you will have more energy and thus more of an edge. If you don't take time for yourself your body will eventually just burn out. Just taking a personal day for yourself and spending a day at the spa will reconnect you with your thoughts as well as rejuvenate your body. Your muscles will relax again, tension will be released, your skin will be renewed and you can go back to work better than ever feeling like a real Superwoman. (Or man)

In the Hot Seat

Well, it is a hot seat but there's no stress or interrogation involved. An infrared sauna offers so many benefits to the body. The UV-free infrared light is necessary for all living things. Without it, life forms become ill, depressed, and Vitamin D deficient. In the sauna, the light utilizes healthy electromagnetic wave lengths that are produced naturally. The heat reaches the cells in your body directly. Thus, increasing circulation, the relief of minor aches and pains, boosts the immune system and cardiovascular systems.

Spas and Tough Times

As Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt, stocks are falling, and the economy is feeling the effects, many people are feeling completely stressed and uneasy. Spa services and treatments are an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle even on a tight budget. Spas cater to lower budgets and offer essential treatments like stress relieving massages at a lower price. By taking a visit to the spa you can take some needed time to take care of yourself and take a break from worrying about the stresses of daily life. It is important to take time for yourself, if only once a month to truly relax and let someone else take care of you. Keep your self feeling complete and healthy. It is a small price to pay for general well-being in tough times.

Healthy Skin so you Can get Intimate

Did you know that the skin is the body's largest organ? It protects your insides from the outside world. It is the first things people notice and quite often, it is a literal and physical manifestation of your internal health. It is well documented that although standards of beauty differ throughout cultures, studies have repeatedly shown that clear, smooth and unblemished skin is a universal marker of beauty. In the @ease Spa we understand that exterior beauty begins with clean, luminous, and unblocked skin and guarantee to help you achieve that. No one wants to be afraid to let someone come close and get an intimate look. I know what it's like to feel like a blemish is talking over you, having to hide it with makeup, and feeling embarrassed. Don't hide behind make-up or feel overshadowed by bad skin. Meet with our experts for a comprehensive consultation to plan and implement regimens that can include your face, neck, shoulders, hands and feet. Feel freer to let your woman or man get closer and see the real you. Your healthy skin will reflect how healthy and beautiful you feel.

Why do they call them SWEDISH massages?

A Swedish massage is different than the traditional massage. Everyone has heard of the Swedish massage but not everyone knows what it really is. It was developed by a Swedish physician in the 1700's. Designed to precisely relax muscles, release toxins, and promote circulation, the @ease Spa Swedish Massage will leave you feeling simply invigorated and renewed.

This relaxing type of massage is gentle but firm, stimulating the tissues through kneading, long strokes, stretching, and percussive techniques. It is excellent for easing pain, reducing swelling, and stretching your ligaments and tendons.

Get a BFF with your BFF

Got a BFF? Need a BFF? What's a BFF? The first I'm referring to is your "best friend forever" and the second is backrubs, footrubs and facials. Busy with work/family/school? Need to reconnect with a friend? Everyone needs time to unwind and talk to a close friend. By visiting a spa you can have good old fashioned friend therapy while getting therapeutic spa treatments as well. Make a day of it! It'll bring the two of you closer together again, you get to chat (or vent) about things in your life with someone you trust while receiving relaxing treatments. You'll both leave feeling freshly beautified and bonded.

Aromatherapy Facials

First, what is aromatherapy? It's just smells right? Not really. The "fragrance" is only part of it. The psychological and physical benefits come from the essential oils (or the pure essence of a plant). The oils are distilled and used in products like in facials. In a facial the oils are diluted (as pure oil should NEVER be applied directly to the skin) and they enter the pores while also being inhaled into the lungs. The aroma triggers positive reactions in the brain and offers physical benefits such as clearing the sinuses and just encouraging an all-around positive feeling. Give your nervous system the royal treatment with the lush, sensorial delight of the @ease Aromatherapy Facial. It's olfactory delight lulls you into an otherworldly sphere of contentment while also purifying your skin. The physical application of these oils, in conjunction to the simple inhaling of fragrances, is highly stimulating for both the body and mind.

Family Fun

Spas aren't just for women anymore. Today, more and more men and younger people have been partaking in the spa experience. It can also bring the family closer together. Kids like the fancy spa experience while parents like that their kids are learning about taking care of their skin. Families are also enjoying spas together as quality time to bond and relax. Many families either vacationing at resorts will schedule time at a spa or even just go to a spa in their neighborhood. Either way, it’s a shared activity that adds new dimension to the family.
Spas, once only accessible to the rich and famous, are now becoming more accessible to people of all budgets and are springing up everywhere, even in airports. Spas can really be a great, relaxing experience for the whole family promoting peace in the home. If you have never been to a spa promise yourself that this year you will sample the stress-relieving, relaxing and restorative treatments that are so inviting at a spa, and bring the fam!

High Tech Facial

Photo rejuvenation is a revolutionary treatment and uses light therapy to produce healthier and younger looking skin. It's different that tanning and uses the good parts of light to correct skin texture and collagen structure. By doing so, it transforms skin into its optimal state of firm beautiful skin. Photo rejuvenation utilizes Intense Pulsed Light technology which is a non-invasive kind of cosmetic treatment and is a little bit more intense that microdermabrasion and is more effective in boosting collagen firmness. It is also very very effective in treating and alleviating signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Sign me up!

So What Do Those Showers DO Anyway?

It's not a regular shower, It's a Vichy Shower! It's not just meant to cleanse. It's an experience you'll never forget. You know those showers when you get out you think "that was exactly what I needed. Best shower ever." Well, imagine that but times ten. Only, this is more of a body treatment that is usually given at the end of the spa experience. As you lay there on a cushioned table, the Vichy shower, with its FIVE horizontal shower heads, rains down warm water to detoxify, hydrate, and intensely relax you. When I say intensely relax, I mean REALLY intensely relax you. You feel any remaining tension be washed away with the water. The cascade of the Vichy Shower flowing down upon you stimulates the pressure points of the body while cleansing at the same time.

Specialized Facials

We all know about facials for women. But not only women need to take care of their skin. What about men and teens? Teens especially have volatile skin that needs to stay clean and cared for to avoid breakouts. Men damage their skin with things like shaving. Therefore, more and more spas are adapting facials catered specifically to the different needs of young adults and men.
First, the Gentleman's Facial:
Takes into consideration the needs of a skin that is shaved daily and affected by high levels of hormones such as testosterone. This relaxing facial soothes irritations, imperfections, and razor burns and provides deep pore cleansing and toning to restore fitness and vitality to a man's complexion.

The Teen Facial:
Is both self-esteem boosting and acne-reducing, both of which are extraordinarily redeeming qualities to aid through these formative and sometimes difficult years. The teen facial will reduce acne, prevent breakouts before they occur, and will protect young skin from environmental damage. The facial also promotes healthy skin care habits for life.
