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 that describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on a specific problem—such as a frozen shoulder or lower back pain.
Ashiatsu Massage
Ashiatsu is a technique where the therapist uses their feet to apply deep strokes. It’s a Western version of an ancient form of bodywork, with roots dating back thousands of years in 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 so the body can 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 massage utilizes heated stones or Lava Shells to nourish the tissues, aid in releasing accumulated waste held in muscle tension, and melt away stress.
Aromatherapy Massage
Massage therapy with the addition of one or more scented plant oils—called essential 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 uses doTERRA therapeutic-grade essential oils with a special technique to bring out the benefits of the oils as well as the power of human touch.
Couples Massage
A couples massage can be done using nearly any of the above massages as the foundation. The couple will receive the massage at the same time in two separate rooms by two separate therapists.
Benefits of Massage
Pain Relief
Regular massages can help with a large number of musculoskeletal issues and help increase blood flow to your body to speed healing and relieve pain.
Stress Reduction
One of the key ways a massage works is by releasing endorphins that ease stress and put your body into a natural state of deep relaxation.
Soothing Environment
Our massage rooms are specially designed to create a relaxing atmosphere that complements your massage by enhancing your sensory experience.
How It Works
At Xanadu, our massage therapists specialize in various massage techniques.
This allows us to deliver the most effective results for each unique client. A massage for the purpose of relaxation uses gentle techniques. The goal of a relaxation massage is to reduce stress, promote overall wellness, relax muscles, and diminish pain.
Clinical styles of massage differ from relaxation because they focus on therapeutic goals. They use more specific manipulation of the muscle and/or surrounding connective tissue and may address other systems in the body such as the lymphatic, circulatory, and nervous systems.
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 lay on the massage table, covering yourself with a towel.
They will then spend anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour kneading and massaging your muscles to accomplish your goals for your massage in Fort Collins.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will help you better enjoy your massage appointments.
Have Clean Skin
Arrive at your appointment with clean skin free of lotions, oils, dirt, and sweat.
Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water to help your body increase the efficacy of your massage and heal faster.
Let Us Know
Let your massage therapist know about any concerns, pain, and if you have any allergies.
Post-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will help you make the most of your massage in Fort Collins.
Stay Hydrated
Continue to drink water after your massage to ensure your body heals faster and you enjoy the benefits from your massage.
Rest
While we encourage you to stretch lightly, refrain from strenuous activity after your massage. Exercising could cause damage to your muscles.
Avoid Alcohol & Tobacco
Alcohol and tobacco products will prevent your body from healing, so avoid consuming those products for 24 hours following your massage

About Xanadu
Xanadu Med Spa is one of the most popular med spas in the North Denver area, offering the largest selection of treatments. This wasn’t the case when we initially purchased the business in 2015, but we’ve come a long way since then.
We quickly learned that our clients needed more from their treatments, so we added medical aesthetics to our list of services as we grew. We have always been dedicated to our clients’ goals at Xanadu, and we continue to look for new methods of elevating our clients’ lives by improving their health and beauty.
