Why are we the best in Morro Bay?
At Morro Bay Massage & Wellness Center, our goal is to make a difference in your day and sense of well-being from when you walk in the door to when you go back out into the world.
Our therapists are all experienced with a good knowledge of the body and how to relieve stress and discomfort. At each visit you can expect to be asked how you are feeling and where you'd like the work focused during that session. During your session, talking will be kept at a minimum, unless you like to chat, but we will always respect your needs and comfort. In order to meet your needs, feel free to tell your therapist if the pressure is too much or not enough...by communicating with your therapist, your session will be customized just for you.
Each therapist has unique techniques and abilities. We offer therapeutic massage, focused therapeutic massage and relaxing massage. The difference being that Therapeutic Massage usually involves deeper work on a particular area of discomfort or injury. The pressure can vary from intense to light, depending on your tolerance and the issue. Massage is not meant to leave you feeling "beat up" and this is why we like communication from our guests.
Focused Therapeutic Massage uses neuromuscular techniques that break up pain patterns and trigger points. Many of our clients are working through a specific injury, chronic pain or working with other health professionals to heal and we find this can assist that work. During your session you will be assessed as to range of motion, pain level and any restrictions. The work will address those specific areas and as much as the rest of the body as there is time for. You will also have time to discuss stretches and/or exercises that will help with the healing.
Our Relaxing, Renew, Recharge sessions are for stress relief and to induce a feeling of calm. Muscles are worked to remove high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) from the system and increase endorphins and serotonin, both are calming and relaxation hormones. You can request warm coconut oil as part of your session to increase the nurturing you will experience during your session.
We LOVE couples! We wrap each of you in your own cocoon of bliss and then let you reconnect in the lobby after your session. Your session will be customized to each of you because every body needs it's own style of massage.
The use of Tuning Forks on the body is an Ayurvedic technique that Karen has studied in depth. She is a talented massage therapist that will relax your body and use the Tuning Fork for even deeper relaxation and release. Especially helpful for injury such as whiplash, muscle pull, low back pain, etc. It feels kind of like electrical stimulation or using a TENS unit without the "bite" of electricity.
Pre-Natal and Post Natal massage is so good for Momma and baby. By increasing the serotonin and endorphin levels in Momma's body, this is transferred to baby too for healthy growth and development. Bodies go through so many major changes during pregnancy and it can cause a lot of discomfort. Massage can help decrease pain and aches. We work the body in a side-lying position using pillows for positioning and comfort. Momma's need nurturing too when they are working so hard making little bodies.
Reflexology is work done on the feet that corresponds with different systems and organs in the body. Research has shown that Reflexology can reduce pain by as much as 40%. It is a good choice for someone that is going through chemo, surgery or other medical procedures that affect having regular massage. It helps balance, relax and restore the whole body. Many guests fall asleep during sessions.
Healing Hands is performed by SanDee and is a combination of massage and Craniosacral Therapy. Relaxing the body and balancing the energy all involves both the physical, mental and emotional aspects of body work. If you have never had Craniosacral work and want to try it, this is a good combo to start with.
