Paradise Recovery believes that recovery and well-being are achieved by transforming the entire mind, spirit and body. The therapeutic massage manipulates your body and soft tissue to promote health and healing. A weekly massage is part of our program and we understand that stress reduction and self-care practices are critical in early stages of recovery from self-destructive behaviors and lack attention to self, particularly involving soothing practices, such as massage. We offer several types of massages: deep tissue, Swedish, Shiatsu, stress-reducing and our famous Hawaiian style – Lomi Lomi massage.

Studies have shown that incorporating therapeutic massage into an addiction recovery program can be helpful for detoxification, symptoms of withdrawal, and attentiveness to treatment (Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies, May 2005). The skin, being the largest organ in our bodies, is the bridge between our external environment and our internal physical world.  Oftentimes, the body has been damaged through the addictive process and the body needs (and kneads) to be brought back to a state where it can function and thrive!
