Massaging with Blessed Hands, Birmingham

Upon first glance, the service menu at Massaging with Blessed Hands may seem scant—after all, it only lists two massage treatments: Massage Journey and Hot Stone Massage Journey. But don't be fooled—there's more than meets the eye to that pair services (each offered as a 60- or 90-minute version). Within those two seemingly simple treatments lies a melange of techniques pulled from across the modality spectrum. During the Massage Journey treatment, for instance, licensed massage therapist DJones may combine anything from gentle Swedish strokes and deep-tissue kneads to focused stretches and targeted trigger point pressure to help with issues such as limited mobility, accumulated stress, and disharmony between the body and mind. The hot stone version ups the relaxation factor even further with heated, naturally shaped basalt stones that radiate soothing heat into connective tissues and muscles.
