There are many health benefits to massage therapy. It helps to reduce stress and increase relaxation. It can reduce pain and muscle soreness and tension. It improves circulation, energy and alertness and it also lowers the heart rate and blood pressure. We offer several types of massage therapy here at Devoe.
Warm Lava Shell Massage
Lava Shell massage is a type of heat treatment that uses Tiger Clam shells as a massage tool so it’s a great eco-friendly spa treatment. This tranquil massage uses the world’s first self-heating massage tool, and the heat is produced by inserting a ‘lava gel sachet’ and ‘activator liquid’ into the shell. This type of massage is greatly enjoyable for anyone with tense muscles, as the heat from the Lava Shells will gently relax and smooth away knots. The Lava Shells owe their magic to a mix of minerals including dried sea kelp, dead sea salt, algae, and essential oils. The heated shells also give off calcium ions, which transfers to your skin during the massage. Calcium can help to firm and regenerate the skin - a nice bonus! An alternative to the popular hot stone massage spa treatment, the Lava Shell can radiate heat for up to an hour, allowing your therapist to provide a continuous and seamless warm full body massage. Lava Shell massage can boost circulation of blood and lymph, soothe aches and pains, reduce swelling, and reduce water retention.
Swedish Massage

Lymphatic Drainage Massage (Restless Legs Massage)
Also known as manual lymphatic drainage, this is a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs. The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system's process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell. Your massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.
