A good massage makes the tension and stress that you have been carrying around just melt away. A great massage, however, is even more. It relaxes your body and soul while focusing on the intrinsic healing power of the massage and materials found in nature. A great massage is what you get at The NOW Massage. The menu of services at The NOW Massage The NOW Massage is unique. The client is in the driver’s seat and can build their experience from three types of massages. “The Now” is a Swedish-inspired rejuvenating stress reliever. “The Healer” focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit. The third option is designed especially with the athlete in mind. “The Stretch” stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems and can reduce recovery times. The “add-ons” really make these services stand out. They are a collection of techniques and products from cultures around the world that have withstood the test of time. For example, “Crystal Hot Stones” are applied during the massage to ease muscle tension and restore balance. Crystals are often used in holistic healing for their ability to channel and manipulate energy. Two other holistic healing techniques come to The NOW Massage from ancient Asia. One is gliding cupping, which has been shown to increase circulation and remove stagnation. Another is Gua sha, which targets troubled areas with smooth rose crystals. A popular add-on is the Hemp Calm Balm. Hemp’s healing powers have been incorporated into traditional medicine throughout Asia for centuries. The Hemp Calm Balm elevates the healing benefits of the hemp with a cooling peppermint and warming capsicum salve. Another popular option is “fresh eyes” - a soothing eye mask made of vitamins and antioxidants. Deep tissue massage, herbal heat therapy, and scalp renewal treatments are also available. Especially popular is the “prenatal glow” for expectant mothers. Clients also choose the length of their massage- 25, 50, or 80 minutes. Chirag Patel, the owner of The NOW Mas- The NOW Massage Somerville and Florham Park locations, is committed to the mission of the brand. He hires massage therapists who believe in the healing power of massage and natural elements like crystals. Most clients purchase a membership to take advantage of discounts without a long-term commitment. The significant discounts allow members to come more often. Regular treatments enable therapists to talk to their clients and better understand their needs. Regular clients often experience pain relief, better sleep, improved flexibility, and an improved immune system. The commitment of The Now Massage The Now Massage to healing through natural, raw, earthy elements and techniques is evident throughout the space. Natural wood and exposed beams are accented with sheep throws, raw hides, cactus greens, and crystal grids. The massage “rooms” resemble cabanas, and the air is filled with the sounds of crashing waves. A retail shop near the entrance offers jewelry, candles, and other items that help you to continue to be balanced at home. Come see for yourself what a great massage can do for you.
