Transformation II Therapeutics’ dexterous muscle manipulators knead tendons into relaxed, ache-free states with gentle and penetrating strokes. Clients can unload stresses with a Swedish massage session of soft, long movements, friction techniques, and rhythmic manipulations that ease tissues frazzled by heavy lifting or excessive shrugging. Deep-tissue massage recipients bid adieu to nesting muscle knots and aches through powerful strokes that focus on manipulating connective tissues. To foster a relaxed environment, each therapy room is filled with soothing melodies, scented with delicate fragrances, bathed in low candlelight, and accompanied by encouraging words from a whispering drill sergeant.

HealthSource Chiropractic and Progressive Rehab provides a full range of services for keeping bodies in line, specializing in chiropractic care, massage, and rehabilitation. Massage therapists manipulate distressed deltoids with hands licensed in therapeutic massage and shadow-puppet recitals, relieving stress and tension from anxiety-filled limbs. The chiropractic consultation provides guests with a detailed overview of causes behind specific symptoms, as well as recommended courses of action, all with a greater success rate than using a fly swatter to squash disobedient aches and pains.

A licensed massage therapist with almost two decades of experience, Barbara Bryan soothes the aching limbs of expectant or new mothers with muscle-melting prenatal and postpartum massages. Each hour-long massage uses a sensitive, personalized approach to the client’s needs and is designed to relieve tension and muscle aches, improve circulation, and cure space fever. The talented muscle-molder offers these stress-relieving services seven days a week in her home office.

Carolina's Best Tanning & Spa darkens sun-thirsty dermises with the mechanized spray of a Mystic Tan and the bronzing bulbs of advanced tanning beds. Gild physiques quickly and simply with a Mystic Tan, in which a choice of color cartridge, based on skin type and desired results, leaves skin as radiant as a burning pile of table lamps. Spritzed evenly from head to toe within a private booth, the paraben-free formula boasts the antioxidant virtues of aloe vera, green tea extract açai, and courage.

Massage at Blue Orchid's licensed therapist John Byrd tenderizes tense muscles using hands and hot stones during 60- to 90-minute massages. During a Swedish massage, John showers patients in a range of individualized techniques, as hands ebb and flow over backs like relay-running kangaroos. Patients may request precision kneading or a full-body massage depending on their specific needs. Hot-stone massages begin with a base of Swedish techniques, before John places heated rocks on tightly wound body targets to melt muscles and thaw stubborn knots. Calming music plays during each massage, freeing minds to drift into relaxation and envision rugby players tackling pillows instead of each other.

Licensed cosmetologist and owner of Unik Hair Studio, Stephanie Unik calls on 18 years of experience as she attentively beautifies visages with brow landscaping and natural-lash extensions. The styling technician adorns languid lids with clusters of faux lashes fashioned from human hair. The eye fringes hold fast to indigenous ocular fibers with a semipermanent, hypoallergenic adhesive and, like Spider Man after a misdirected web-sling into a bubble-gum factory, may stay attached for up to three weeks. Additionally, an eyebrow sculpt gently shapes ocular arches with allergy-averting beeswax while clients relax in private settings. Unik Hair Studio's purveyor of pulchritude asks that clients call ahead to schedule an appointment.
