The massage therapy and body work techniques that will be used by the employees of Bella Fontana Spa are for the purpose of stress reduction, relief from muscular tension or spasm, expressing lymph fluid from tissue, increasing circulation to soft tissue, pain management, improving the texture and tone of the skin and relaxation. In the massage we will use kneading and stroking motions, massage tools, stones, vibratory machines or stretching techniques applied to the musuloskeletal system, skin and soft tissues of the body to produce these results.
Draping is required at Bella Fontana Spa, and only the part of the body being worked in a massage will be exposed. For hydrotherapy services, clients may choose to bring a bathing suit or take advantage of disposable lower undergarments or draping as needed for the type of service used. Areas to be treated may include some or all of the following: scalp, face, neck and/or decollete, arms, legs, upper and lower back in all massage therapy treatments. Areas to be treated in therapeutic, triggerpoint, myfascial, deep tissue and other massage therapy modalities may include hip joints, glutes and abdominals as required for effective treatment. Massage therapy is a health enhancing preventative treatment.
We appreciate the recognition from Texoma area (Texomaland) readers of the Herald Democrat in the annual Best of Texoma survey. Each year since 2007 we have been awarded Best Day Spa, and each year since 2008 we have been awarded Best Massage. As Bella Fontana Spa has grown since our opening in September, 2005, we have increasingly become the choice for both therapeutic and relaxation massages. In response to the demand for more therapeutic massage, we offer both single and multiple modality massages in a variety of time increments to suit your needs and your budget. To make an appointment, simply Book Online anytime day or night, or call us at 903.893.6222 during operating hours.
All of our massage times reflect the 'time on the table', so add as much as 30-45 minutes to allocated enough time at the Spa for the entire appointment to allow for consultation, a visit to the rest room and, best of all, just some time to relax in one of our relaxation areas. Here are a few of our most popular options and definitions and the cost for a single session, or one hour session. Prices as of 6/2009 are subject to change without notice. Our cancellation policy is available online, on our brochure and gift certificates.
Swedish Massage - this is the relaxing version of a massage. Typically long stroking movements using the forearm, palm, thumbs and elbows. Based on your needs, some spot deep pressure, trigger point or other modalities may be applied. The main purpose is to increase oxygen flow and release toxins such as lactic acid that accumulate in the muscle tissue. One hour is $60.00
Aromatherapy Massage - a variant of Swedish Massage that includes the use of essential oils infused into the lubricant used for the massage. Typically long strokingmovements using the forearm, palm, thumbs and elbows. Very relaxing indeed. One hour is $70.00.
Reflexology Technique Massage - Reflexology correlates certain pressure points and meridians on the feet to specific body areas. Applying pressure to these points with specific finger, thumb and hand techniques without oil or lotion is believed to effect change to the body. This treatment can also be added onto a body massage. Single Session is 30 Minutes at $45.00
Trigger Point Massage - Trigger points are areas of tenderness in muscles. There are active and latent triggerpoints with active causing muscular pain and referring pain to other areas when pressure is applied; and latent only exhibit pain when pressed. Triggerpoints may be associated with fibromyalgia and are commonly referred to as 'knots'. The purpose of trigger point therapy is to eliminate pain and to re-educate the muscles into pain-free habits. After several treatments, the swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved, and circulation, flexibility and coordination are improved. One hour is $70.00.
Sports Massage - Prepares the athlete for peak performance, increases circulation, oxygenates and releases/disperses lactic acid, reduces fatigue and tension, relieves swelling, promotes flexibility and prevent injuries. Used before and during to warm up and invigorate, and after athletic events to calm and relax. Addresses large muscle groups, joints and utilizes stretching, percussion and other modalities to improve performance. One hour is $75.00.
Lymphatic Massage - A massage that facilitates the expression of accumulated lymph fluid from tissue by stimulating the nearby lymph channels. Useful for visible edema from lymph node removal, post surgical swelling, sluggish immune systems and other causes. One hour is $85.00.
Hot Stone Massage - A relaxing massage using warm basalt river stones as a tool to warm the area before and during massage, increase pressure and to promote relaxation. One Hour is $80.00
Lift and Tone Facial Massage - A lifting massage to strengthen and tone facial muscles. It's relaxing and rejuvenating. Addresses the musculature that supports the face.
