Kevin Jensen, Director of Marketing, at The Sundance Center explains why the center feels massage therapy is an important part of their holistic approach to drug and alcohol rehabilitation and why they choose Hawaiian Experience Day Spa to be their sole provider of massage therapy.

“At the Sundance Center (www.TheSundanceCenter.com) drug and alcohol treatment centers, we feel that a holistic approach is key to our clients’ journey to recovery.  Many of our clients enter our doors after years of substance abuse that have taxed their body, mind, and spirit.  In addition to our individual and group counseling to heal the mind and spirit, we feel that it is absolutely pertinent that the body be healed as well.  One of the major areas in which we address this is through massage therapy and a healthy diet.  As our clients begin their sobriety, their bodies are ready to be flushed of any toxins, foreign or damaging material.  In order to help move this process along as well as heal the discomfort of any prior neglect, our massage therapists assist in the process by renewing the vital healing energy of our clients.

As one of the premiere holistic addiction healing centers, we are always on the look out for people and companies who share our vision and commitment to the highest level of healing.  One of the Directors of our company happened upon The Hawaiian Experience Spa of Scottsdale and received what he called “the best massage of my life”, the massage therapist seemed to intuitively pick up on the areas of his body that were in most need of healing and provided an extremely therapeutic and healing experience.”  We knew that this was a company that like our own was capable of providing a high level of healing and unparalleled experience.  Soon after a contract was entered into between The Sundance Center and Hawaiian Experience Spa.  We are grateful for this new relationship and are excited about providing our clients with the highest level of massage therapy we have experienced to compliment their overall rehabilitative experience at our center.”

 Hawaiian Experience Spa’s owner and licensed massage therapist, Steve Ibach, says he and his therapists are looking forward to working with The Sundance Center.

“Our Scottsdale Day Spa is of course known for its Hawaiian themed environment and unique treatments but it is also known for its high level of medical massage therapy.  Many area physicians refer patients to our day spa for massage therapy services to treat conditions ranging from stress, to fibromyalgia, to back pain, and much more.  We have never provided massage therapy at any location outside of our day spa at 116^th and Shea in Scottsdale, however, when The Sundance Center approached us to provide services for their patients at their center, we knew immediately that this was something we wanted to be a part of.  I visited The Sundance Center’s facility (called The Journey Center) in Scottsdale and found the unique environment to have a positive healing atmosphere similar to our spa.  I was impressed with the facility, their approach to healing, and their staff.  I then spoke with our medical massage therapists who were all willing and eager to assist patients of The Journey Center with our services.  We are looking forward to doing our part to help The Sundance Center’s patients on their journey to a healthy and happy life.”

Experience Wendy's Scottsdale Massage

Hawaiian Experience Day Spa in Scottsdale, AZ has just introduced another specialty massage by Wendy – The Relaxing Muscle Releaser Massage.  This massage uses warm oils, stretching, rocking, neuromuscular release, hot stones, Lomi Lomi, more….

Wendy’s Relaxing Muscle Releaser

Let’s begin this wonderful treatment by arriving at the spa fifteen minutes early if you are already a member and 20 minutes if you are not. Once you change into your robe and complete all paperwork I would suggest you make some tea and as it is steeping you take a nice warm shower to begin the loosening of muscles and tension. Then enjoy your herbal tea. This is not part of the treatment you are paying for so think of it as an extra bonus. If you prefer you could add a scrub or wrap to intensify the benefits of your upcoming massage and to nourish, detoxify, and thoroughly exfoliate the body.

Now you have arrived on the massage table relaxed, cleansed and present. I will begin your treatment with relaxing music and at light to medium pressure as I explore the different areas of concern. I will be looking for kinetic patterns leading to those areas of concern. Then through facilitated stretching, neuromuscular release and therapeutic massage I will release those areas one by one. I will be using warmed oils and creams along with some gentle rocking techniques to assist in your muscle relaxation. I will end the massage with some hot stone Lomi Lomi strokes to allow the geothermal heat and long strokes to penetrate any lasting resistance and tension.

This treatment is a 90 minute treatment in order to receive the full benefits, however, if you can only participate for an hour the hot stone and Lomi Lomi portion will be eliminated.

After you receive Wendy’s Signature Treatment you will feel relaxed and the tension in your muscles will be dissolved.
