AfterImage Salon's licensed massage therapist, Kristina Gess, employs a variety of massage modalities to knead away knots and relieve bodies of underlying stress. Long, light strokes and gentle muscle molding make one-hour Swedish massages a soothing experience, helping relieve tension and settle petty arguments between stubborn spines and spineless clavicles. Alternatively, hot-stone treatments use polished, heated stones to infuse the body with warmth. The treatment also takes advantage of a combination of Swedish and deep-tissue massage techniques that manipulate muscle tissues into comfortable compliance.
