Massage Therapies

Unlike drug therapy, which is often associated with many systemic and long-term side effects, massage therapy is relatively safe and has few contraindications. It also provides many benefits. We offer a full range of professional body massage therapies

Swedish Massage Therapy

Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage for both men and women. It involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental and physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the massage. The benefits of Swedish massage include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation , decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion. Terra Spa has the most experienced therapists in town. We have been providing massage services since 2006 for our clients in San Antonio area.

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Therapeutic in nature, as opposed to relaxing. Deep tissue massage works deep into the muscle tissues, along and across the fibers. These slow, deep movements are used to release muscles, aid in the reduction of scar tissue, and increase range of motion. This type of massage is designed for individuals wanting more detailed bodywork on specific muscle groups.

Prenatal/Post Natal Massage Therapy

Designed to address the special needs of the mother-to-be, this massage is designed to relax and relieve the added stress that is placed on the back, neck and joints of the body. The specific needs of each mother will be addressed directly with the Massage Therapist. When booking this massage make sure to state the month of pregnancy at the time of the service

Ideally, Prenatal Massage should not exceed 1 Hr and must be after first trimester.

Hot Stone Massage Therapy

Hot basalt stones are applied to specific points and muscle groups. Organic oils rich with the green essence of field and forest permeate your skin and work to undo the effects of daily stresses. The heat of the stones relaxes the muscles being targeted allowing a deep tissue penetration without the pain normally associated with deep tissue or Swedish techniques.

Sports and Stretching Massage

This massage is dedicated to increasing joint mobility, soothing aching muscles and relieving stress. We customize this treatment to address your individual areas of muscle fatigue and tension.

Thai Massage-New

The Thai massage originated in Thailand, and many people describe as a mix between yoga and massage. It uses stretching and slow, rhythmic compression along the body’s energy lines, known as sens.

What should I expect?

In Thai massage therapist puts you through a series of stretches that cover the entire body. You lie on a table wide enough to accommodate the therapist and yourself, and you wear loose-fitting clothing. during these movements, the therapist might kneel on the back of your legs and pull your arms to arch your back and open your chest, or she may place her shoulder under your heel to lift your leg and stretch your hamstring.

This is done to loosen the joints and relax the body. Also, it is said to unblock energy along the sen pathways.

Thai massage also includes deep-pressure point work to stimulate the body’s energy pathways. It helps balancing of the body by limbering joints and loosening muscles through movement and strategic pressure.

unlike many massage types, you remained fully clothed during a Thai massage. We suggest you come in loose fitting
