Massage Motu & Chiropractic

About

In the language of Tahiti, the word "motu" means small island. At Massage Motu we provide each guest with the sensation of visiting a private motu of his/her own, complete with soothing therapeutic massage and skin care services.

Story

Swedish Massage
Long gentle strokes & kneading of the outer layer of muscle tissue to reduce stress and soothe sore joints & muscles. This soothing massage and gentle touch takes you to a new level of stress reduction.

Deep Tissue
Deep muscle massage will flush toxins from your body and enhance your immune system. Working a specific joint muscle or muscle group, your therapist can access deeper layers of the soft tissue. Because each body experiences pressure differently, your therapists will start superficially and ease into the depth of the muscle slowly to allow more movement. The direct pressure applied by your therapist will relieve tension immediately.

Sports Massage
Regular physical activity leads to a consistent build-up of tension in the muscles and causes stress on joints, ligaments and tendons. Sports massage is designed to reduce injuries and alleviate inflammation; this technique is for novice and professional athletes before, during and after training events.

Prenatal Massage
Because many pregnant women feel discomfort and added stress on their bodies at various points of the pregnancy, more women are discovering and benefiting from Prenatal Massage. Prenatal Massage is a form of therapeutic bodywork which focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes leading up to childbirth. The techniques used enhance the well being of both mother and baby.
