A Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes designed to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and reduce general stress. Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure to target chronic muscle tension, knots, and injuries in the deeper layers of muscle. Our therapists at Renew Med Spa can help you decide which is right for your body and goals.

What is a hot stone massage and what are the benefits? A hot stone massage uses smooth, heated stones placed on key areas of the body to melt tension, improve circulation, and deepen relaxation. The heat penetrates muscle tissue more effectively than hands alone, making it ideal for clients with chronic tightness or stress-related tension.

Cupping uses suction cups placed on the skin to lift the tissue, increase blood flow, and release deep muscle tension. It is particularly effective for chronic pain, soreness, and areas of restricted movement. Some clients experience temporary marks on the skin that fade within a few days.

Yes. Therapeutic massage is clinically supported for reducing chronic muscle pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing tension-related discomfort. At Renew Med Spa our licensed massage therapists customize pressure and technique based on your specific pain points and health history.

For general wellness and stress management, most clients benefit from a massage every three to four weeks. Clients managing chronic pain, injury recovery, or high stress may benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your goals.

Yes. Massage therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces cortisol levels and promotes a state of calm. Many clients report improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and a lasting sense of calm following regular massage sessions.

Reflexology focuses on applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears that correspond to organs and systems throughout the body. It is less about muscle manipulation and more about stimulating the body's natural healing response. It can be deeply relaxing and is a great complement to traditional massage therapy.

An aromatherapy massage combines therapeutic touch with essential oils chosen for their specific benefits — whether that's lavender for relaxation, eucalyptus for respiratory support, or peppermint for energy and clarity. The oils are absorbed through the skin and inhaled during the session for a full sensory experience.
