Sore muscles surrender pent-up stress and tension at Harmonious Lyfe Spa, where trained therapists cycle through multiple soul- and sinew-soothing modalities in private treatment rooms. Long, deliberate strokes and rhythmic kneads span the entire body during relaxing Swedish massages, which combine with a soothing scalp and foot massage to purge bodily toxins that are then bottled up and mailed to childhood bullies. Designed to relieve deep-set aches and chronic tension, therapeutic deep-tissue rubdowns target stricken muscles with slow, robust strokes and precise trigger-point work. Clients with active lifestyles can opt for a sports massage, which preps guests for workouts, sporting events, and intense, full-body yawns with Swedish techniques and stretching exercises designed to increase range of motion. Dulcet melodies waft across the spa’s intimate treatment rooms, where ocean-blue curtains refurbish the sun’s penetrating rays into a dim, gauzy glow ideal for easing guests into a blissful state of relaxation.
