Massage in Lakewood Park

At jon-michele's Massage Therapy, candlelight illuminates calming yellow and cocoa tones as therapists John Kihm and Michelle Johnson deploy an array of massages. Both kneading experts graduated from Space Coast Health Institute, and John went on to complete an internship with the Washington Nationals. The therapists specialize in the injury-assuaging strokes of sports massage, but also employ modalities such as Swedish massage to melt muscle tension more quickly than a radiator melts Legos. Deep-tissue massages delve into tension, hot stones warm targeted points for intense unwinding, and couples and pregnancy massage tend to tense twosomes.

At Tao Chi Massage & Skin Care, licensed massage therapist and facial specialist Richard Hays soothes the body and mind with a blend of Asian and European techniques. His distinct approach to deep-tissue massages combines Western strokes with the Asian redirection of chi energy. He also blends the ancient with the modern during other services, such as those powered by the Clarisonic system—a device designed to improve overall skin tone with a thorough cleaning and removal of any silver dollars lodged inside clients’ pores.

Designed to help release surface tension and provide detoxification benefits, the session replicates the therapeutic weightlessness of the Dead Sea without the expensive airfare and schools of skeleton fish. Bolstered by soothing music and a warm, enclosed tank, clients rinse away aches and pains as their body is buoyed by water saturated with Epsom salt. Lure out toxins and other gangs of tension-causing troublemakers from their cellular safehouses, or practice astral plane cannonballs with consciousness-calming meditative exercises during the relaxing time in the tank.
