Relaxation, Pain and Sports Massage Therapy Serving La Jolla and Surrounding San Diego Areas      

Every massage at New Body Now is customized to fit each client’s specific needs, and by doing so, provides great results in clients with severe neck and shoulder tension as well as relief for chronic back pain sufferers. In order to give this level of customization, it is necessary to incorporate different styles of massage including, but not limited to: Deep Tissue or Swedish massage, Sports Therapy, Thai Yoga, Active Release and Lomi Lomi.

Offering a broad range of modalities, our experienced and professional massage therapists will tailor a session (or series of sessions) to help you relieve stressed, sore and injured muscles, as well as flushing out toxins through deep tissue and assisted stretching movements to boost overall health and wellness.  Couples massage and relaxation massages with hot stones and/or aroma therapy are also available to enhance the effects and benefits of your custom massage session.   

Swedish Massage –A deeply relaxing, full-body massage.

Deep Tissue Massage – Relieves severe tension in the muscles and connective tissue.  The pressure during this style of massage is designed to focus on the muscles below the surface of the top muscles.

Sports Therapy Massage – Active movement of the body to stimulate blood flow and loosen muscles and joints, typically geared towards injuries or severely stressed muscles.

 Thai Yoga Massage - Deep assisted stretching much like Yoga poses for muscle relaxation and flushing of toxins from the body.

Active Release Massage - Assisted movement of specific tension areas within the muscle.

Lomi Lomi Massage - Rhythmic movement of the body typically using the forearms.

Hot Stones Massage - Oil or massage gel is used for Hot Stones Massage.  Stones are in water which is heated to approx. 120-130 degrees.  A hot stone massage generally offers light to firm pressure. If deep tissue is desired, the stones will be used initially on each section of the body, followed by deep work with the hands, fingers, fists, and forearms.
