Southern Maine Massage and Wellness, Portland

Together, the licensed practitioners at Southern Maine Massage and Wellness boast more than 30 years of experience in massage therapy and specialize in pampering facials that revitalize the skin. As a result, the studio—which is also the state’s first massage co-op—is able to address clients’ unique needs with a variety of treatments.

Their massage therapists' specialties include long, flowing Swedish strokes and firm, deep-tissue pressure, which are often combined in order to elicit both pain relief and stress reduction. Other bodywork techniques include neuromuscular therapy’s alternating levels of concentrated pressure and reflexology, which targets the body’s imbalances through the massaging of the feet. Elsewhere, beauticians consult with clients to tailor facial treatments to meet their skincare goals while also delivering a relaxing spa experience.
