Pittsburgh’s Best Massage Therapy | 412-782-3888
Massage is one of the core treatments at ESSpa Kozmetika for good reason – it feels good AND it is good for you.
The science behind the relief
According to Consumer Reports, deep-tissue massage can be as effective as prescription medication for the relief of back pain. In addition, researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles reported a clinical study demonstrating that people who received a Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can ultimately lead to a boost in the immune system.
More than 100 years of hands‑on experience
So what makes Massage Therapy from ESSpa Komzetika in Pittsburgh different than anywhere else? Most spas and salons have one or two massage therapists “on call” and treat them as “independent contractors” which means that most places don’t even consider massage therapists to be actual employees (imagine who would be responsible if something goes wrong). ESSpa Kozmetika takes a different approach.
Kat, Heather, Benjamin and Amma have regular standing schedules and have great employee benefits, training, help and whatever else they need to be the best at what they do. With each of our Therapists having years of experience, that means ESSpa Kozmetika offers you more than 100 years of hands-on, actual Massage Therapy. It is our goal to provide you with the best massage you have ever had and to that end our therapists have received training from all over the globe. From Traditional Western Methods to Ancient Eastern Techniques, Our Massage Therapists are available to help you understand and overcome your aches and pains.
A recent study at the Cornell Medical Centre in New York found that massage is effective for physical and psychological wellbeing, as well as reducing anxiety, stress and insomnia. I urge you to shop around and compare us to others before coming to ESSpa Kozmetika because you will quickly find there is nothing to compare.
