Cabo Mobile Spa - Spa Tips And Terminology

Take a deep breath and let your cares melt away. You have entered the plush oasis of comfy couches, steamy saunas, fluffy slippers and heavenly body treatments known as the Las Vegas spa. Let it go. Relax. Don't worry about a thing.

Wait? What! You don't know about the spa rules? The little things you can do to ensure a nearly perfect spa experience? 



OK, don't freak out. You don't actually have to do anything. We've done all the work for you by compiling the below tips and definitions to help enhance your time at a Vegas spa.

No, there won't be a test. Geez, you really do need to relax.

How to get a massage (hint: receiving is way better than giving)

Your massage therapist will become as intimately acquainted with your body as your significant other (well, not quite). But if there are any areas on your body that are sore, tense or injured, be sure to tell him or her.

Mention any medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, headaches, varicose veins or recent surgery as well as infectious diseases such as a cold, flu or skin rash. Deep massage can increase your health risk and add to any discomfort brought about by these ailments.

You're laying naked on a stranger's table, so it probably sounds counterintuitive to tell you to close your eyes, breathe slowly and allow yourself to relax. But trust us, your therapist is a highly skilled professional. So close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply, and allow yourself to relax.

Allow your therapist to move your limbs into position and don't assist unless he or she requests your assistance. Lay there limply. Pretend like it's your wedding night.

This is not 'Nam. This is the spa. There are rules.

Do not drink and spa.

Do not smoke and spa.


Couples Massage 90 Minutes Each

If you have a heart condition, diabetes, are taking medication or have high or low blood pressure, consult a doctor before you spa.

Sorry kids. Most spas allow only those 18 a

nd older to enter, though some will allow those as young as 16.

Wear proper footwear in fitness areas. Sharing may be caring, but no one wants to be your foot fungus buddy.

You came to the spa to relax and forget about your everyday worries. Not to check Facebook. Not to snap selfies. Not to play Candy Crush Saga (no matter how addicting it may be). So put your cell phone in your locker where it belongs. And for the love of all things serene, leave it there.

Serene spa suggestions

Keep cool and spa on. When using the steam, sauna or hot plunge, cool down after each session.

Prepare your pores. Use the whirlpool, steam or sauna before a moisturizing treatment or facial.

Burn notice. To avoid burning, remove all jewelry and extra clothing during heat treatments.

Arrive early. You'll have plenty of chances to arrive fashionably late in the course of your lifetime. Your spa appointment isn't one of them. Arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to take advantage of spa amenities and relax before your treatments begins.

Shower power. Hit the shower before entering any spa facilities.

Stay late. We've already established that Vegas spas are the equivalent of heaven on earth. So why would you ever want to leave? Good news. You don't have to leave right away. Stay later to take advantage of the many amenities post-treatment.

Tip service. In most cases, tips are not included in the price. A gratuity of 15 percent to 20 percent is considered appropriate for good service.

Soften up. Most but not every facial will include moisturizing treatment for the hands and feet; ask before you book.

Never fear. Don't be afraid to ask questions about the types of products being used during a treatment or the condition of your skin.

Call me, maybe. Each spa offers different types and versions of spa services, plus spa rates are subject to change. Call spas ahead for the latest rates and menus of services.

Bathing vs. birthday suits. You've come to the spa to let go of your worldly cares, not to obsess over body issues. So if you're concerned about flaunting your birthday suit, wear your bathing suit instead. It will come in handy in the wet spa plunges, the steam room, the sauna and co-ed areas.

Massage definitions

You've probably heard of the Swedish Massage. A classic treatment found in most spas, your massage therapist manipulates your muscles like your mother manipulates your mind, only the therapist uses oils instead of guilt. Swedish Massages are fab, but there are tons of other types of massage worth exploring. Here are some of them:

Deep Tissue: A deeper manipulation of the muscle to release tension among problem muscle groups.

Sports: Similar to a Deep Tissue massage, this localized massage focuses on lengthening and loosening muscles, often with heat. 



Aromatherapy: Utilizes light to medium pressure, often combining Swedish, Shiatsu and reflexology techniques, with therapeutic essential oils.

Reflexology: Pressure is applied to the reflex points of the feet and/or hands to improve circulation, relieve stress and promote relaxation.

Aveda Therapy: Based on ancient Ayurvedic principles, sensory testing is conducted to choose an aromatic key element to create an overall sense of well-being and balance.

Watsu: While you are in water your therapist uses Shiatsu pressure point techniques, stretching and movement therapy to release tension.

Maternity: Specially designed for relaxation and to give relief to expectant mothers.

Tandem: Massage performed by two therapists at once.

Shiatsu: Pressure is applied to the meridians and acu-points on the body, to relax and energize.

Reiki: Healing is transferred by lightly placing hands on various parts of the body.

Jin Shin Jyutsu: Holding of energy points to balance the mind, body and spirit.

Stone: Smooth, rounded, heated stones are used as a massage medium for relaxation.

Cranial Sacral: Gentle traction and pressure on the scalp and spine to release tension and restore symmetry. Especially helpful for those who experience migraines, TMJ and sinus problems.

Head, Shoulder, Neck: Concentrates on these three problem areas to relieve tension.


Neuromuscular Therapy: Deep Massage used to locate spasms and hyper-contraction in tissues. Eliminates trigger points that can cause pain, restores posture alignment, rebuilds injured tissue, increases flexibility and blood flow.

Other spa service definitions

Facials: Facials can consist of a variety or combination of the following: a deep cleansing treatment to tone and exfoliate the skin; steam; extraction; facial massage; neck and shoulder massage; moisture treatment. There are many varieties of facials, so make sure to contact the spa for information and a menu of services.

Wraps: The body is wrapped in a purifying element such as clay, seaweed or pre-treated herbal towels to draw out impurities, relax muscles and detoxify the skin. Steam and moisturizers also may be applied. There are many varieties of wraps, so contact the spa for more information and a menu of services.

Salt Glow: Sea salt crystals and a cleanser are used to exfoliate the skin, then rinsed away and followed by a moisturizing treatment.

Body Buff: Similar to a salt glow, but using smoother elements such as Jojoba beads or crushed nuts as the exfoliate.

Body Scrub: Similar to the salt glow, but using natural elements such as pumice or a loofah as the exfoliate.

Mobile Massage: Rounded Shoulders

Experiencing discomfort and pain related to poor posture in the workplace is quite common. Just look around your office, and you will see plenty of people suffering from sore low backs and stiff shoulders.   

Many lack balanced fitness regimens or have no regimen at all. Rounded shoulder patterns are quite common. You see them everywhere – as you hunch over your keyboard, rounding the neck and shoulders forward, the shoulders rest in internal rotation. Do this every day for 5 hours or more with little or no external rotation to counterbalance and the result? 

Tight pectoralis muscles that are locked-short, pulling the head of the humerus forward and forcing the weak rhomboids and trapezius to elongate. Let’s paint a picture: Larry is a 34 year old accountant. He works a typical nine to five and to help manage stress and ease some upper back tension, Larry goes to yoga 3 times a week. He’s an ex-athlete, and enjoys the dynamic movement and strengthening quality of the vinyasa class. 

His favourite pose? Chaturanga dandasana, the yogi equivalent of a push-up. What Larry and many other yoga practitioners ignore is that when done without a focus on external rotation, chaturanga dandasana targets the already tight pectoralis muscles. You might even notice the inferior edge of your scapula wing right off your back. Spending many hours sitting at a desk, texting or driving around can cause chronically tight pectoralis muscles, creating the perfect scenario for neurovascular compression, amongst other problems. 

The Pec Minor: Where is it and What Does it Do? The brachial plexus travels down the arm underneath the pectoralis minor.

Let’s look more specifically at the pectoralis minor – it originates from the third, fourth and fifth ribs, inserts onto the medial surface of the coracoid process and lies deep beneath the pectoralis major. To feel the coracoid process, slide your fingers along the shaft of the clavicle (collar bone), moving towards the shoulder (this is roughly where a bra strap would cross). Slide inferiorly off the clavicle about an inch and press your fingertips into the tissues. 

The coracoid process has a beak like protrusion. If you’re unsure if you’ve properly located it, gently extend your shoulder and the coracoid should pop forward into your fingers. Notice the relationship between your scapula and pec minor. The pec minor is responsible for depressing and abducting the scapula and elevating the ribs during inhalation. You use this muscle as you take a deep breath, throw a punch and downwardly rotate your scapula. 

What’s most fascinating about the pec minor is that its strong tendon overlies the brachial plexus, a network of motor and sensory nerves that serve the arm and hand. The subclavian artery and vein that transports blood flow from the neck and shoulder girdle, all the way through to the hands are also in close proximity to pectoralis minor. If the pec minor is tight, it limits the space in which the brachial plexus and subclavian artery run potentially causing tingling, numbness or  sharp shooting sensations. 

If you suffer from tightness in your pectoralis minor, you might experience difficulty sustaining movement overhead for long periods of time even for the simplest of tasks, like when braiding your hair. More complex poses, such as downward facing dog might feel excruciating. Worst, if this muscle is chronically tight, it might affect your inhalations, resulting in shallow breathing.

Professional Mobile Massage - Sciatica Pain


Sciatica—pain that radiates down the path of your sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each of your legs—can make the most mundane actions feel like torture.

A symptom that most commonly crops up when a herniated disk, a bone spur, or a narrowing of the spine compresses the sciatic nerve, sciatic pain can also be caused by piriformis syndrome (when the piriformis muscle, which assists in rotating the hip, spasms and irritates the sciatic nerve) and pregnancy, when a woman's expanding uterus can press on the nerve.

At Cabo Mobile Massage we would love to help while you are on vacations, contact us at cabomassage@gmail.com.

Professional Mobile Massage - Indulge Yourself With Its Numerous Benefits

Massage is no longer obtainable only through fancy fitness center and trendy health clubs. Today, massage therapy is provided in businesses, clinics, hospitals and even airports. If you've never experienced massage, learn about its potential health benefits and things to expect through a massage therapy program.
What is massage?
Massage is a basic term for pressing, rubbing and influencing your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage therapists usually use their hands and fingers for massage, but may also use their forearms, elbows and even feet. Massage might vary at light stroking to profound pressure level.

Here are various kinds of massage, including these common types:

Swedish massage. This is a mild type of massage which utilizes long strokes, kneading, deep circular motions, vibration and tapping to help relax and stimulate you.


Deep massage. This massage method utilizes slower, more-forceful strokes to focus on the much deeper levels of muscle and connective tissue, generally to help with muscle problems from injuries.
   
Sports massage. This is comparable to Swedish massage, but it's designed toward people engaging in sport activities to help prevent or manage injuries.
   
Trigger point massage. This massage concentrates on areas of close muscle fibers that can develop in your muscles after injuries or over-use.

Benefits of massage
Massage is commonly considered part of secondary and alternative medicine. It's progressively being offered together with standard therapy for a large variety of health conditions and situations.

The benefits of massage show that it is really a reliable treatment for decreasing stress, pain and muscle tension.

Although more study is required to verify the benefits of massage, some studies have discovered massage may also be helpful for:

  • Anxiety
  • Digestive disorders
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches
  • Insomnia related to stress
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Paresthesias and nerve pain
  • Soft tissue strains or injuries
  • Sports injuries
  • Temporomandibular joint pain
More than the benefits for particular ailments or illnesses, many people enjoy massage simply because it frequently engages caring, comfort, a sense of empowerment and making deep interactions with their professional in-house massage therapist.

Professional Mobile Massage Therapy To Relieve Stress

Stress is universal, and it's not always bad. Whenever you jump to catch a badly thrown ball, feel especially energetic before an important meeting, or hit the brakes in time to avoid a car accident, stress is doing its job. The adrenaline boosting your heart rate and the cortisol boosting your blood sugar, while diverting energy away from your digestive system and immune responses, are exactly what prehistoric humans needed to fight or flee attackers.

However, when there's never any relief from stress, the sustained fight-or-flight response can cause problems. In fact, WebMD warns that constant stress actually becomes "distress -- a negative stress reaction. Distress can lead to physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases."

Massage Therapy and Stress
Virtually every symptom listed by the American Psychological Association can benefit from massage. Research has shown that it can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, relax your muscles and increase the production of endorphins, your body's natural "feel good" chemical. Serotonin and dopamine are also released through massage, and the result is a feeling of calm relaxation that makes chronic or habitual as well as acute or short-term stress much easier to overcome.

In fact, stress relief is one of the first benefits that come to mind when thinking of massage therapy. It's also a key component for anyone trying to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Clinical studies show that even a single 1 ½-hour session can significantly lower your heart rate, cortisol levels and insulin levels -- all of which explain why massage therapy and stress relief go hand-in-hand.

Benefits of Massage Therapy for Stress
Taking care of your body should be at the top of your priorities. By adding therapeutic massage to your routine now, you'll feel, look and simply be healthier far into the future. In fact, stress relief alone can improve your vitality and state of mind. So what better way to prep for a long, happy life than a relaxing, therapeutic massage?

If you're looking to add stress-relieving massage to your wellness program, a Massage Envy membership can be a powerful ally when combating daily pressures and anxiety. In addition to stress relief, ongoing massage therapy can reduce pain, increase energy levels and improve overall physical and mental performance. Our experienced, professional therapists at Massage Envy locations nationwide customize every massage (and stress relief) session to address your individual needs.

Cabo Mobile Therapy - The Dynamic Benefits of Massage Therapy

Got sore muscles? Massage therapy can help. “Massage increases and improves circulation, in much the same way rubbing your elbow when you knock it on a table helps to relieve the pain,” says Tanason.

Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.

At Cabo Mobile Massage we are focused on providing services with the highest levels of customer satisfaction with our staff of well trained Certified Massage therapist and Estheticians to accommodate groups or individual sessions.
