Escape the hustle and bustle of the world when you slip into the massage room at Backstage Salon & Spa. The experience starts in a private powder room where a steam shower—scented with a choice of fragrances like lavender, peppermint, or grapefruit—relaxes and prepares you for your treatment. Backstage has a variety of massages to choose from, including deep tissue, prenatal, warm stone, aromatherapy, and reflexology. One of its most popular options is the therapeutic body massage, which is available in 30-, 60-, or 90-minute increments, and is customizable to your needs. The massage therapist will lavish your sore muscles with oils, lotions, and warm pads, and is extremely sensitive to any specific needs and requests. When your treatment is over, you can relax with a glass of lemon-infused water and a snack in a lovely sitting room adjacent to the therapy area.
