A new spa is rubbing out all of those stubborn knots in the back of my neck that have practically been there for years. Just recently, I was invited to a rather relaxing day at the spa here in Downtown Orlando. Hand & Stone Spa has opened up a new location in Florida’s Downtown Orlando area, and I was able to try it out for the very first time.

As I entered the franchise’s newest location, I was instantly greeted by their staff with delicious coffee and small bites before my spa session.

Hand & Stone’s Downtown Orlando location offers a variety of different massage procedures that customers can choose from. To name a few, the Oncology Massage, which consists of specially trained Massage Therapists customizing a massage for specific health benefits, the Couples Massage, which allows couples to enjoy dual massages at the same time, the Hot Stone Massage, which involves signature hot stones being placed on specific pressure points on the body to relax each muscles,

and of course…the Deep Tissue Massage, the massage that I had the pleasure of trying. The Deep Tissue massage focuses on providing pressure and intensity into specific spots in the body in order to decompress and release tension. Since I work in an office setting for the vast majority of the day, the back of my neck held most of the tension in my body. The Massage Therapists was able to successfully extract those hard knots and release the tension I’ve been harboring for years back there.

Other than massages, Hand & Stone is a full-blown spa, offering facial procedures, hair removal procedures and even multiple spa memberships for individuals who like to frequent at the spa.
