Healing Touch Spa opened in Rochester, Minnesota in 1986. Serving local area clients, as well as an international clientele due to their proximity to the Mayo Clinic, this spa offers a simple menu with an emphasis on providing beneficial, therapeutic services. From their Integrative Massage to their Signature Treatments, such as the Dead Sea Mud Body Wrap, Healing Touch Spa ensures that every service will provide a health benefit to their clients. At the same time they do not skimp on pampering – from extra cushioning and heated massage tables to cozy polar fleece sheets, warm towels, and heated neck cushions, Healing Touch Spa is an expert at perfecting the details that make clients' service with them first class. Hot/Cold Stone Treatment is a client favorite at the spa. Hot stone massage therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness, and increases circulation, while the cold stones soothe inflamed or swollen tissues. The combination of hot and cold stones provides clients with a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones expand blood vessels, which encourage blood flow throughout the body. In addition, the hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation. Their professional massage therapists create a customized massage using deeper pressure on key points with smooth, water-heated stones, as well as general effleurage strokes on the whole body. They do not just "place" the stones – the stones are used with therapeutic purpose on the entire body.Want to read more? Subscribe to one of our monthly plans to continue reading this article.
