Massage in Palatka

Massage Green coddles customers with a broad array of expertly administered massage styles. Each 90-minute massage begins with a quick consultation with a licensed massage therapist to determine the stealthiest course of action to quell insurgent knots and muscular protrusions, followed by approximately 80 minutes of treatment. In the Swedish massage, tender surfaces are assuaged with long, smooth strokes, circular movements, and cat-like kneading, with Massage Green's ample stock of organic lotions, gels, and oils on hand to smoothify body veneers and help banish aches and pains. With the deep-tissue massage, the therapeutic maneuvers go against the grain of the muscle to help take on chronic muscle pain, battle repetitive stress, and assist in recovery from rodeo- and non-rodeo-related injuries alike. Deep-tissue massage can result in soreness for one to two days following treatment.

Massage therapists at Believe Day Spa & Boutique have three goals: release stress, loosen muscle tightness, and increase their clients' sense of well-being. To do this, they customize each session to the needs of each patron, adding such modalities as deep-tissue massage, hot-stone release, and scalp massage as needed. They partner their line of massages with skincare, including deep-cleansing and anti-aging facials, detoxifying seaweed body wraps, and smoothing cellulite treatments.

Education is important. And the team at Advanced Healing Therapies knows it. Anke Cacciola, the business's founder, graduated from the Florida School of Massage in 1992 and holds a total of seven professional licenses and certifications, making her seven times more qualified for her career than the degree-lacking Ben Franklin was for his. Her partner, John Neumann, has 15 years of massage therapy experience, and a master's degree in metaphysics. They leverage their wide and deep pool of knowledge to foster overall wellness via myriad traditional and alternative therapies.

Their medical massages focus on relieving pain, and the use of hot stones on the back relaxes bodies, unlike the use of hot stones on someone's touchscreen computer monitor. The team also augments the effectiveness of their treatments with reflexology sessions or reiki therapy, which uses healing energies to impart calm and balance.

With 30 years of experience, the staff at Ormond Beach Medical Center helps clients reduce pain and prevent future injuries with massage therapy, sports medicine, and chiropractic and acupuncture care. Board-certified Dr. Richard Branoff and family nurse-practitioner Ellen Branoff also take care of people of all ages through comprehensive family medicine. They focus on preventive care by giving routine checkups, immunizing patients, and swaddling patients in bubble wrap.

Licensed massage therapist Marcy Lynne Allen understands clients face a daunting task in carving out free time, so she helps them out by scheduling most of her appointments for the evening and weekend. Working out of the Blakely House, she tailors each session with differing modalities, drawing largely upon Swedish and deep-tissue techniques. With the long, gliding strokes of Swedish massage, Marcy applies light to medium pressure, relieving tension while also stimulating circulation and lymphatic movement. She then targets areas of chronic pain with deep-tissue work, excavating tension and valuable rubies buried in muscles' deepest layers.

Bobbilee Jadwin has a healing touch. Through massage services that use kneading, stroking, and stretching, she helps clients manage their pain and improve their range of motion. Her services include time-tested Swedish and deep-tissue massages as well as such innovative techniques as bamboo fusion, which uses warm bamboo of different shapes to apply deep pressure and ease tension. Aromatherapy oils enhance relaxation, unlike car alarms that just play facts about mountain-lion attacks. The studio is also full of Tibetan singing bowls, bell-like gongs with a slow-building harmonic sound that swells slowly and aids in meditation.
