Our Massage Treatments
Swedish Massage
This balancing and soothing massage helps relieve tension and stimulate circulation. It’s great for increasing blood flow to your organs, muscles, and tissues.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is a general term for any massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, or address a specific problem, such as a frozen shoulder or lower back pain.
Ashiatsu Massage
Ashiatsu is a technique in which the therapist uses their feet to deliver deep strokes. It’s a Western version of an ancient form of bodywork, with roots dating back thousands of years across various cultures.
Prenatal Massage
A prenatal massage in Fort Collins can help you relieve swelling and muscle tension due to pregnancy. We do require that you be at least 13 weeks along before scheduling this massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia. This massage also helps relieve symptoms of musculoskeletal issues.
Osteopathy
Osteopathic manual practitioners identify areas of the body that are not working properly. They then gently ease restrictions to allow the body to function optimally.
Trigger Point Massage
Your body has focused, hyper-irritable spots in the taut bands of the skeletal muscles. This massage is designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release of these spots.
Hot Stone/Lava Shell Massage
This relaxation massage incorporates heated stones or Lava Shells to provide consistent warmth. The heat, combined with massage techniques, creates a calming environment that supports stress relief therapy.
Aromatherapy Massage
Massage therapy with essential oils and scented plant oils can help address specific needs. These oils may be utilized topically or diffused to enhance the experience.
AromaTouch Massage
AromaTouch massage in Fort Collins, CO, uses doTERRA® therapeutic-grade essential oils with a special technique to enhance the oils’ benefits and the power of human touch.
Couples Massage
A couple’s massage therapy session allows two individuals to enjoy care together in separate rooms, each with their own therapist. This shared experience can be tailored with different techniques, offering a quiet space for connection and stress-relief therapy.
Benefits of Massage
Pain Relief
Massages can relieve musculoskeletal issues and increase blood flow to your body, speeding healing and relieving pain.
Stress Reduction
One of the key ways a massage works is by releasing endorphins that ease stress and induce a natural state of deep relaxation.
Soothing Environment
Our massage rooms are designed to create a relaxing atmosphere that complements your massage and enhances your sensory experience.
How It Works
At Xanadu Med Spa, our team offers a range of massage therapy techniques, allowing each session to be tailored to your individual preferences and areas of focus. A relaxation massage uses gentle, flowing movements intended to create a calm experience, encourage muscle ease, and support a sense of overall balance without intensity. More focused approaches, often referred to as therapeutic massage, differ in both their intentions and techniques. These sessions may involve more precise work on muscles and surrounding connective tissue, with attention given to areas that feel restricted or overworked. Depending on your needs, this may also include consideration of how the body’s natural systems function together, such as circulation and lymphatic flow.

Let’s Get Real
Taking the Filter Off of Medical Aesthetics
Episode 1
In our first episode, we talk real results and real passion, covering chemical peels, personalized care, and why educating patients is at the heart of what we do. No filters, just honest conversations about what makes medical aesthetics so rewarding.
What to Expect
To begin your appointment, your massage therapist will ask you what areas of your body you would like to target and how they are bothering you. Then, your therapist will give you the privacy to undress down to your comfort level and lie on the massage table, covering yourself with a towel. They will then spend anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour kneading and massaging your muscles to achieve your massage goals in Fort Collins.
