Between balancing a job and obligations to friends and family, relaxation can be hard to find. But massage therapist Destine Abbott invites clients to escape all of life's stressors at Destined Health & Wellness Massage. Here, she helps clients through therapeutic massage, which targets both chronic pain and tension with an integrative blend of deep body work and relaxation techniques.

To ensure her treatments are effective for each client, Destine customizes her sessions to their specific needs. For example, she might massage stress with hot-stone or Swedish massage, or call on sports massage and the stretching techniques of lomi-lomi to relieve pain from an old injury. To send clients into a state of unparalleled serenity, she turns to hot bamboo massage. During these sessions, she stretches out muscles and knots with the aid of smooth, heated bamboo shoots, which retain heat longer than hot stones for more intense relief.
