You know all about the pleasures of summer, but what about the seasonal pains? We’re talking about the way your shoulders ache when you spend too much time swimming or playing in the water with your children or grandchildren. What about the neck cramps and stiff joints that come along with long vacation flights? If you enjoy summer sports, you know the discomfort of shin splints and tennis elbow. You may also feel your back complain after an intense hike or mountain biking session.

You want to enjoy an active lifestyle while the weather is accommodating, and the massage therapists at Matrix Spa & Massage want to ease those seasonal pains so that you enjoy the warm weather to the fullest. You’re welcome to come visit any of our locations when you’re ready to indulge in the following benefits of a summertime massage.

A Professional Active Massage Can Ease Summertime Sore Muscles

Whether you’re spending more time tending to the rose garden or the kids insist that you push them on the swings every evening, your muscles notice when your daily activity level increases. Your body was designed for movement and you’ll enjoy many health benefits as a result of your active summer, but painful muscle soreness can easily slow you down.

A massage will help reduce that sore sensation while calming muscle spasms and cramps that often come with overuse. This is just what your muscles need to recover quickly so that you can bounce back from a high-intensity day or week and move forward to your next summer adventure. If you’re a runner enjoying the summer charity events or an athlete, then you have even more reason to pamper those muscles so that they can keep up with your productive training season.

Routine Active Massage Can Alleviate Common Side Effects of Stress

It seems like long summer days should leave you exhausted and ready to crash for hours of deep, rejuvenating sleep. Unfortunately, many people experience their fair share of stress and restlessness despite the beautiful weather. We’re talking about the tension headache that surfaces out of the blue as energetic children run through the house screaming and the pressure you feel trying to track down a babysitter so that you can get just a couple hours of housework accomplished.

Scheduling a massage at least once a month will decrease your stress level while improving your quality of sleep and stimulating more energy so that you can keep up with your summer obligations. You may even notice that it’s easy to focus at work when your muscles receive the attention that they desperately need. Not only can massage release endorphins that boost your mood and ease pain, but it can lower your blood pressure and clear your mind.

Stiff, Swollen Legs Find Fast, Natural Relief in the Hands of a Skilled Massage Therapist

Do you tend to avoid your sandals and flip flops since your ankles get puffy in the summer? You may even feel stiffness in your legs as your lymphatic system tries to control water retention and swelling that can occur naturally as a result of hot weather. You can make sure that you’re drinking enough water, but a massage is what you really need to reduce the swelling and get those sandals out of the closet.

Clear time in your schedule for a Swedish Massage or a Deep Tissue Massage. Book routine sports massages to support your muscles during this intense training season. You may even want to treat someone special to an impromptu couple’s massage. It’s the perfect way to escape from the kids and bring some romance back into your world. Book your appointment today and let Matrix Spa & Massage help you enjoy your summer!

I have been coming to Matrix Spa & Massage for about 5 years now and can always get in quickly. I made an appointment yesterday because I woke up with an extremely sore neck from sleeping wrong which resulted in a massive migraine (that I often suffer from) and I left feeling clear headed and amazing! Frederick Salt provided one of the best massages I have ever received. He took the time to listen to my needs and put real attention and care into his practice. He has a ton of experience in massage therapy and I would recommend him to anyone needing a great massage that’s well worth the money.

This place is interesting and my therapist was definitely unique. He only massaged my upper body and told me to breathe into my collar bone and other instructions that I didn't quite know how to follow. My elbow was sore for a day or two after. I do think he was genuinely trying to help, but I would have liked more explanation of what was the rationale behind the movements and instructions. I also would have preferred to have received some work on the legs, but again 60 minutes sometimes isn't enough time I guess. Other members of group liked there experience more and described there massages very positively. The offer to return gratis by the owners in their comments below is a nice sentiment and a testament to how they care for their business. (Unfortunately I was visiting from out of town so cannot do so but again appreciate it)

Donna May rocked my world - the best massage I've gotten in salt lake so far and I've tried a few different spas at this point. The level of pressure, the intuition, the obvious mastery of her craft - cannot recommend her enough. She is a neck wizard.

Best Massage I have ever had. Donna May provided a relaxing and therapeutic massage. She always had the perfect amount of pressure and seemed to tailor the massage just to me. I will book with Donna May as often as I can. She is also such a kind person.

Well worth it!My wife and I were needing time to unwind and relax, I bought the Emerald Package, it was well worth the money! The amount of time and detail the staff took us was amazing. We left feeling relaxed and ready to tackle the world again. We are going to be coming back. The spa downstairs was amazing, what a way to finish off the night after a massage. Thank you for making our night!

There are so many good things to say about this place. The biggest shout out to Donna May who gave me the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had in my life. Repeat: the BEST deep tissue massage I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE. The price was $95 for an hour.Other pros: they got me in on a Sunday.The facility is very clean.They have optional spa upgrades (see photos).Cons: They have this required form where you have to fill out medical information. I don’t like providing my medical information and it wasn’t necessary for this type of appointment.The booking process could be simpler but it’s not a make or break.Overall, I had a nice time and look forward to booking with Donna May in the future.

My mom and I did the mother and daughter package and overall it was a really awesome experience! The place was under construction but they were able to accommodate our needs, the only downside is I never even knew our massage therapists names and I am kinda bummed about not being able to utilize the hot tub or sauna but I guess that means I’ll just have to come back another time! (:

A delicious sanctuary. I felt the worries of the week being worked out of my body. Richard was my “ Sensei” masseuse educating me on muscle connections and guidance on how to release tension. This is now my spiritual hideaway once a month.
