What kinds of massages are offered at The Umstead Spa?

  1. You’ll find a range of classic massages at The Umstead Spa. The traditional Swedish massage is a full-body treatment incorporating warm basalt stones to help loosen tight muscles. Choose a deep-tissue massage if you want the therapist to focus on deeper layers of muscle tissue to release chronic patterns of tension. You can also opt for an aromatherapy massage — a combination of scent and touch — or a hot stone massage, which is a deep, penetrating massage that uses warm stones as a tool to promote overall relaxation and well-being. Couples can indulge in a treatment for two, and sports enthusiasts can soothe sore muscles with a massage that targets specific areas of the body for a quick recovery. Lastly, expectant mothers can relieve tension and stress and improve circulation with the 50-minute mother-to-be massage.
