Do I need protective eyewear? Yes, it is recommended to keep your eyes closed during the session and wear some sort of protective eyewear. Please bring a pair of sunglasses, or you can borrow ours. What is a red light therapy session like? The red light therapy session lasts for 20 minutes total. It will consist of 10 minutes on the front of the body and 10 minutes on the back on the body. We have a standing full-body panel, so you will stand up during the treatment. It is recommended to be in the nude during the session, or wear undergarments.

It is up to you when to have your massage or acupuncture and your red light therapy session. Some people prefer it before and some prefer it after. Having red light therapy before a session has benefits in that is starts to increase circulation, so you are starting your massage off already with increased circulation.

What are the Benefits of an Aromatherapy Scalp Massage and How Can It Enhance My Massage Service?11/18/2023 Last month, we rolled out new massage enhancements to give you an even better experience for massage therapy in Jacksonville, FL - with more options for pain and stress relief. At The Wellness Hub, our enhancement options include:
How do Massage Enhancements Work? Massage enhancements enrich your massage experience by providing additional pain and stress relief to our already robust massage offerings. We've curated our list of massage enhancements with care to provide the most pampering, luxurious and effective treatments for pain and stress relief. First, it's good to know that enhancements don't "add on" any additional time to your massage, they are done within the time you schedule. We offer 60, 90 and 120 minute massage appointments and we always give you the full time that you book - we don't short you by 10 minutes as many spas and massage studios do. The enhancement may be done at the beginning of your massage or the end of your massage (or sometimes during your massage like the herbal pain relief enhancement). Speak to your therapist about your individual enhancement. What is the Aromatherapy Scalp Massage Enhancement? One of our enhancements here at The Wellness Hub is an Aromatherapy Scalp Massage. This service is a 15-minute scalp massage that also includes face and jaw massage, ear massage and neck and shoulder massage if you wish (you can have any combination of these areas targeted). Your therapist will use 100% natural essential oils from our friends at Plant Therapy. You can choose from peppermint, bergamot, lavender or a special mood-lifting blend called "Blues Buster." The scalp massage enhancement is usually done at the beginning of your massage to induce deep relaxation, however, it can also be performed at the end of your service. Please discuss your preference with your therapist. To perform this service, your massage therapist will instruct you to pick 1 or 2 essential oils for the scalp massage. They will speak to you about if there are any areas you'd like to avoid during your scalp massage (which can also include your face, ears, neck, shoulders and jaw). Then, with you lying face up, the therapist will begin your scalp massage. They will have you inhale the essential oil to begin it's therapeutic effect and may also apply it directly to your scalp (depending on your preference). They will check in about pressure to make sure everything feels good. Make sure to let them know if there are any areas that you want them to focus more on (or avoid) as they provide the service. What are the Benefits of an Aromatherapy Scalp Massage? Aromatherapy scalp massage combines the benefits of scalp massage with the therapeutic effects of essential oils. Here are some potential benefits:

How to Use Scar Tissue Release Massage Therapy in Jacksonville, Florida to Relieve Pain and Restore Function What is Scar Tissue Release Therapy? Scar tissue release massage, also known as scar tissue mobilization or scar tissue therapy, is a therapeutic technique designed to address and alleviate the effects of scar tissue that has formed in the body due to injuries, surgeries, or other trauma. This specialized type of massage therapy aims to improve the appearance, flexibility, and functionality of scarred areas. Scar tissue formation can lead to various health concerns, such as reduced range of motion, pain, discomfort, and altered appearance. Scar tissue release massage uses specific techniques to break down and stretch the fibrous collagen tissue that comprises scars, helping to soften and realign the tissue with the surrounding healthy tissue. Here are some common techniques and principles involved in scar tissue release massage:
Scar tissue release massage should be performed by a qualified massage therapist, trained in clinical, medical and/or neuromuscular massage. Before seeking out scar tissue release massage, it's wise to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider to determine whether it's appropriate for your specific situation and to ensure that it's performed safely and effectively. What is Scar Tissue, and Why is it Formed? Scar tissue, also known as fibrous tissue or simply "a scar," is a type of connective tissue that forms in response to an injury or wound in the body. When the body's tissues are damaged, whether due to surgery, trauma, or disease, the normal healing process involves the formation of scar tissue. This tissue serves to repair and replace the damaged tissue, helping to close the wound. Is Scar Tissue Bad? Scar tissue itself is not inherently "bad." It is a natural part of the body's healing process and serves a vital role in repairing damaged tissues after injury, surgery, or other trauma. Without the formation of scar tissue, wounds would not heal, and the body would be more vulnerable to infection and further damage. However, scar tissue can cause pain and discomfort as well as reduced flexibility and range of motion. Scars can also cause cosmetic concerns, especially if the scar is very large and visible, which can sometimes lead to mental health worries. Why Would I Need Scar Tissue Release Therapy? You may need scar tissue release therapy for several reasons, depending on your individual circumstances and the effects of scar tissue on your body. Here are some common reasons why someone might consider scar tissue release:
Our professional massage therapists in Jacksonville, Florida can help with scar tissue release therapy. If you've had surgery, were involved in an accident or have been injured and are suffering from scar tissue impeding your daily life and causing pain - we can help. Please call us at (904) 512-7551 and inquire about our Clinical Massage Services to book your appointment (Scar Tissue Release falls under our Advanced Massage category and pricing). ---- We are pleased to serve the following Florida communities with massage therapy, chiropractic, organic skincare, acupuncture, red light therapy and more: Jacksonville, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Mandarin, Jacksonville Beach, Nocatee, St Johns, Ponte Vedra and more.

What is microcurrent? Microcurrent facial treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that is an alternative to Botox. It has been clinically tested therapy for decades and is a safe technology for skincare. It is a popular choice for beauty treatment as it is painless and has no downtime.

It helps to lift, firm, and tighten the skin giving you a healthy and younger-looking beauty treatment instantly Potential benefits of microcurrent technology: Improved muscle tone Microcurrent therapy can help stimulate the underlying muscles in the skin, leading to improved muscle tone and a lifted more youthful appearance. Microcurrent technology also helps relax muscles and improve circulation, benefiting those with muscle tension or spasms.

Improved skin hydration Microcurrent therapy can help improve skin care product absorption, which can help increase hydration and improve the skin's overall health and also promotes the healing of wounds and injuries by increasing blood flow and stimulating cellular regeneration. Improved circulation & lymphatic drainage This therapy can help increase circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and improving skin health which can help reduce swelling and inflammation.
