Massage in Lewisville

Nothing is happening inside At Peace Flotation & Massage Spa's float tanks—at least not as far as the eye or ear can tell. But change is still taking place. As bodies float inside a lightproof, soundproof chamber atop skin-temperature water made buoyant by 800 pounds of epsom salts, the mind sinks into deep relaxation. Spa staff finds that a one-hour session can impart the same restful feeling as four hours of sleep in a bath of warm milk and soothe the symptoms of chronic back pain, fatigue, high blood pressure, asthma, and jet lag.

Alongside At Peace's two private float suites—complete with showers and dressing areas—treatment rooms house massage therapists well-versed in a range of therapeutic styles. Swedish massage utilizes long and glissading strokes to improve circulation, and deep-tissue massage relies on penetrative kneads to release pent-up pressure. Therapists also specialize in prenatal, sports, orthopedic, aromatherapy, and chair massage.

Sunlight streams through the windows at The Massage Works, filling the waiting room with the warmth and light of that of a secret oasis. Within the 3,500-square-foot facility, clients relax within one of 11 treatment rooms as licensed massage therapists ease their muscles and brighten their skin tone with services such as body wraps, facial scrubs, and Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massages.

With a focus on wellness, the staff at Diamond's Garden Massage & Stress Relief promotes feelings of calm with tension-relief and pain-management treatments, as well as three types of massages. Licensed techs also tackle skin woes with body scrubs, hand treatments, and hydrating facials. An assortment of retreat packages, such as the Diamond Treatment, bundles together massages and spa treatments to pamper frames from the inside out.

At Skylight Massage and Skincare, specialty massages and decadent add-ons merge into uplifting treatments that rejuvenate the body and spirit. The ashiatsu massage is a house specialty featuring a deep-pressure technique that soothes sore and achy muscles in the back, chest, hips, and legs. Once muscles are loose, a client may further relax under the soothing warmth of heated basalt stones or the tingling sensations of a natural-fiber brush, used to increase blood flow. Such duality is key here, with lavish spa services softening the edges of focused therapeutic bodywork, causing pain and stress to dissolve like slugs in a salt cave. Other services include an organic cellulite massage, a 24-karat gold facial, and an herb-and-mineral foot soak that incorporates lemon clay, shea butter, and essential oils.

Yova Lockett of Kindred Spirits Massage welcomes her clients and helps put them at ease before kneading away muscle tension with assorted bodywork techniques. Her Swedish massages employ a light, flowing touch, ideal for those new to massage, and deep-tissue treatments delve further into muscles with more focused pressure. Sports massages stretch out the tendons of sore athletes and personal assistants who have to give sore athletes piggyback rides. Add-on services such as aromatherapy and salt scrubs enhance the experience by soothing the senses.

The licensed massage therapists at Elements Therapeutic Massage listen to their clients needs and employ proper techniques to provide a therapeutic experience with their restorative bodywork. Therapeutic massage benefits are a medically proven method of supporting health and wellness and vary according to technique. Clients may choose flowing Swedish strokes to promote relaxation and stress reduction or access lower-layer aches with deep-tissue or trigger-point techniques for relief from back and neck pain. Sports massages are also available to improve range of motion and performance in athletes.
