How the treatment is delivered
Every session begins with a brief consultation so your therapist can learn about pressure preferences, pain areas and any skin sensitivities. The sequence is a targeted mineral scrub across the entire back and shoulders, followed by a full body massage. The combination is delivered in a single 90 MINUTES appointment tailored to your comfort and specific tension points.
Therapists focus on practical outcomes: the scrub clears surface debris and prepares the skin, while the massage works through muscles that hold tension. Expect professional draping and clean, privacy-respecting protocols in our Fair Oaks Village treatment rooms. Staff will ask about pressure and adjust techniques so the session supports both relaxation and measurable ease in sore areas.
What the mineral scrub does
The detoxifying mineral scrub is applied to the entire back and shoulder area to exfoliate dead skin cells and to help draw out surface impurities. Exfoliation increases skin softness and improves how moisturizers absorb afterward. In this service the scrub prepares the back so the following massage is delivered to both skin and underlying muscle with fewer barriers.
Because exfoliation temporarily increases skin sensitivity, therapists may recommend gentle aftercare such as avoiding prolonged sun exposure and using moisturizer. This timing matters in Fair Oaks’ Mediterranean climate — the service is especially useful for pre-summer skin prep and for addressing dryness after hot, sunny months during our busiest periods in May, June, September and October.
Who benefits and when
Clients who commute through Sunrise Blvd or Highway 50, families, and retirees in the Fair Oaks area often choose this service when they need both skin renewal and muscle relief. Many tell us the combined scrub-plus-massage helps reduce tension, improves sleep, and provides a feeling of being well cared for. Therapists can emphasize depth or gentleness depending on the outcome you want.
Practical scheduling notes: the spa’s location near Fair Oaks Village and the American River Parkway makes it an easy stop for morning appointments before work or weekend activities. Book early in May and June for pre-summer exfoliation or in September and October if you’re repairing sun-exposed, dry skin after summer activities and river recreation.
