What is the best kind of massage?

Out of the following which is the best massage, Swedish, Myofascial Release, or Deep Tissue/Muscle Therapy? I am getting a massage soon, and have narrowed it down to these threee, which do u like the best? Please if u want give details about them, and also i want to be sure they are all "laying down" massages, not chair. Ok well that's all for now! THANKS!!

You should check the terminology area of Spavelous.com for definitions of each of the type of massages. http://www.spavelous.com/main/spa_termin...As for the best massage, each person has different needs and results they want from their massage. What others like may not be right for you. If this is your first massage, see if they offer a custom massage. This is a massage that your therapist will customize for your needs. They can also give you a sample of each of the therapies so you will know for future reference what your preference is. Regardless of which one you book, You should communicate with your therapist if the pressure is too deep, too light, or if you have any areas of concern. Al the ones you selected are full body massage table massages, if you still are unsure, start out with Swedish a light relaxing massage and let the therapist know that this is your first massage and if they could incorporate other modalities in it for you.

Spa Gift Certificate

I have an expired gift certificate for a spa। Can I still use it? It expired July 2006 but I think it should? I live in NJ- it was bought July 2005 and has a one yr। expr. date. I always heard if the place is still in business they should honor it. (it's like cash) Does anyone know the answer?

From what I can tell, NJ has a 24 month expiration। Here is the information: Contact the Spa and request that they extend it. Be pleasent and prepared to book a service within the next wo weeks.
