“Where Beautiful Things Happen”

Anyone that suffers from arthritis welcomes even the promise of relief. Paraffin Wax treatments at Mukilteo Spa guarantees pain relief! As alternative or in conjunction with traditional medicine, paraffin wax treatments for arthritic joints has been an accepted treatment for years. Without the side effects that accompany non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS), paraffin is a safe alternative.

With a melting point between 120° – 160° F, paraffin is melted to form a warm bath that you dip your hands in; letting the wax cool on your hands transfers the heat into your joints, providing relief. Using melted paraffin to bathe the affected joints has therapeutic results, including but not limited to:

• Increased circulation
• Drawing nutrients to the surface of the skin
• Flushing toxins from the skin

A 2006 review from the Cochrane Library cites multiple positive effects that hot paraffin wax treatments have on arthritic hands. Compared to other heat therapies, paraffin wax is the most helpful when the patients were objectively measured against a control group (no paraffin treatment) over 4-weeks of treatment for:

• Range of Motion
• Pinch Function
• Grip Strength
• Pain on Non-Resisted Motion
• Stiffness

Whether you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or an arthritis associated with infection, the debilitating pain can be overwhelming. The qualified technicians at Mukilteo Spa will gently ease some of your pain with compassion and understanding.

Any person that suffers from the chronic pain caused by Fibromyalgia understands that any relief is welcome. Mukilteo Massage therapy is a proven treatment for fibromyalgia. You may be asking “How does massage help fibromyalgia?”

The fibromyalgia sufferer is wrought with excruciating pain and often debilitating fatigue. A chronic disorder, classified as a syndrome, fibromyalgia has a number of treatments but no cure is currently available.

Over 6 million people suffer from fibromyalgia in the United States alone! If you are fortunate enough to have the services of a trained massage therapist, like the therapists at Mukilteo Massage, it is strongly recommended that you avail yourself of their services.

The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is widespread pain in the ligaments, tendons and muscles of the human body. Muscle twitches and burning are common complaints in addition to the muscles feeling sore, achy and overworked. The combination of symptoms is the name:

“fibro” = fibrous tissue + “my” = muscle + “algia” = pain

Alternative treatments that have proven effective for the treatment of fibromyalgia pain offered at Mukilteo Massage are:

FULL BODY MASSAGE

The hands on manipulation of  muscles increases the body’s natural pain blockers, including:

• endorphins
• serotonin
• norepinephrine

Fibromyalgia patients rated massage therapy as the best treatment option available. The overwhelming choice of massage therapy is likely because of the multiple benefits:

• better blood circulation = faster muscle repair
• increased flexibility = reduced stiffness
• range of motion increased
• stress reduction & relief of depression
• pain relief = better sleep habits & patterns

CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY

Cranial sacral therapy is offered at Mukilteo Massage as yet another alternative therapy that has been proven quite effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia. The cranial sacral system includes:

• brain
• spinal cord
• cerebrospinal fluid

The belief that an interference of the cranial rhythmic impulse can result in a variety of health problems including chronic pain disorders like fibromyalgia. Palpation of the area determined by the therapist to be the spot of cranial rhythmic impulse interruption restores the flow of cerebrospinal fluid to therapeutic levels. Fibromyalgia sufferers note that Cranial Sacral Therapy has the following affects:

• decrease of general pain
• decreases the number of chronic headaches
• improved range of motion
• reduction of chronic fatigue & mood elevation

What are the benefits of a Mukilteo spa facial? Getting a facial is a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin and treat your skin. Getting facials is a great way to help you achieve a clear complexion, a nice glow and silky soft skin.

A facial offers many benefits to your skin. Your face is always subject to many elements such as the sun, maybe smoke or improper soaps and chemicals at home or work. Facials give you an  opportunity to work with a professional skin care expert who can analyze your skin for imperfections and who has the ability to improve your complexion and educate you on the best way to take care of your skin.

A facial is not only relaxing but can also give you a deep cleansing, much deeper than the cleansing you get at home. A facial cleanses your face as well as exfoliates your face which dramatically helps you clear your pores and unclog your pores.  Your pores get build up of oil and dirt from the elements so it’s important to unclog them for the best complexion possible. Extracting open pores helps rid the skin of imperfections and acne. Your skin care professional will help soften and smooth the skin with steam, hot moist towels, and enzymes or other exfoliates.

Since all skin types are different, not all facials are the same and an experienced skin care expert or licensed esthetician can choose the best skin care ingredients to help your skin type. Many times you’ll find that a professional esthetician chooses a mask to detoxify your skin or hydrate your skin. By analyzing your skin type, your pores and your overall complexion, your skin care professional will not only learn your skin type, but an esthetician will be able to create a facial program designed specifically for you and your skins needs.

Ultimately a facial may help you increase your circulation and stimulate your skin, which will rejuvenate your skin and soften your skin.  Getting a facial from an experienced skin care expert will be a great way to prevent future skin issues and help you beat wrinkles before they occur.  Keeping your skin hydrated is the best solution for moist smooth skin and stopping dehydrated and dry skin.  And a facial that is designed for you specific to your skin type will help you better understand how to properly care for your skin.  An experienced esthetician will work with you to help create a home regime skin care program that is both easy to implement and specific to your skin.  Since all skin is different and your skin care regime will be based on pore size, tone and texture, it is very important to get a professional skin care analysis for the best results.

A facial is a great way to say your sorry and thank you to your skin  at the same time. Every day toxins seep into your pores causing blemishes, wrinkles and other skin disorders. The best way to have those toxins removed is through getting a professional facial treatment. Sure, you can do one at home but unless you have the ability to purchase high end masks and assuming you have the knowledge of skin types your not going to achieve professional quality. There are many different types of facial treatments that  are available at a Mukilteo Facial Spa. Most high end spas will give you a complimentary skin analysis prior to doing any skin treatments to determine the most beneficial and customized treatment program as well as products for your skin and lifestyle.

Most facials will include,

• cleansing
• exfoliating
• steaming with aromatherapy
• extracting of surface impurities (deep pore cleansing)
• toning facial massage or high frequency treatment
• custom-blended mask
• specialty eye lift treatment
• soothing hand massage
• nourishing botanical extracts
• lymphatic drainage massage on neck and shoulders

Some facials you will find really can zone in on a particular skin problem and begin to repair your skin sometimes as soon as your first visit. If your looking to improve your skin appearance and get your healthy glow back schedule an appointment with a Mukilteo spa professional to get started.
