Experience the healing power of water in a spiritually nourishing environment.

The Aquatic Center features indoor pools for Watsu® – Aquatic Massage, an underwater HydroWorx®treadmill, aquatic therapy, cross-training, pool classes and swimming – and it is a beautiful place to be.

Pools – Canyon Ranch has four swimming pools for personal use – the Indoor Pool (located in the Aquatic Center), Flagstone Pool, L-Pool and T-Pool. The Indoor Pool is comfortably heated to 90˚F throughout the year. This pool is designed for Aqua Shape (a water fitness class for range of motion, flexibility and body alignment) and other group classes. Because of its temperature, the Indoor Pool is not recommended for extended lap swimming or other intense cardiovascular activities. Group classes are held year round in the Indoor Pool and T-Pool, which both feature showers and changing rooms. The unheated Flagstone Pool next to the Double U Café and the L-Pool near the tennis courts are ideal for lounging and swimming. The T-Pool is also the site of two shaded underwater HydroWorx treadmills. Pool classes are listed in This Week at Canyon Ranch and on the Spa Activity Boards. Water shoes are suggested for classes. Please note that there is no lifeguard on duty at our pools.

• Give yourself plenty of time before your massage so you can enjoy the steam room, sauna or whirlpool. Warm muscles benefit most from body work.
• A warm shower just before your massage is relaxing and washes away any salts, minerals or chemicals that could clog pores when mixed with massage oils. Then, put on your robe and meet your therapist in the locker room waiting area.
• Unless the service description specifies that your massage will be received clothed, undress completely and wear a robe to your massage. You will be able to take your robe off and cover yourself in privacy. You will be draped with a sheet throughout the service to preserve modesty. For services that are received clothed, light, loose-fitting clothes are ideal.
• We use fragrance-free massage oil; lotion is available on request.

• Bring in your own tunes. We have MP3 docking stations available in our massage rooms.

Traditional and modern Asian massage and body work techniques utilize the energetic pathways in the body known in China as meridians. Therapists are able to feel the energy known as chi, the life-force within the body. Some therapies include stretching and deep palming while others are extremely light, utilizing holding techniques to calm and restore balance. Asian Therapies are well-suited for people with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, stress and those experiencing symptoms of menopause.

ASHIATSU – DEEP BAREFOOT MASSAGE     $155/240/280
From the Japanese words “ashi,” meaning foot, and “atsu,” meaning pressure, this is the ultimate deep-massage therapy. In this compression massage, the therapist uses overhead bars for balance while using the feet to bring about release and structural change in chronically sore, tight tissues. Ashiatsu provides deep relaxation and stimulates the circulatory system. This is the modern version of a classic Asian therapy for persistent back and neck pain. 50, 80 or 100 minutes.

MUSCLE MELT FOR “ROAD WARRIORS”     $240/280

(The pressure of this massage will be altered to suit your body’s needs.) 80 or 100 minutes.

SHIATSU     $135/210/260
Relax, energize, awaken.

THAI MASSAGE     $280
Thai massage, sometimes called “yoga massage,” originated in Buddhist monasteries as preventive health care for the monks.

This graceful therapy, which is given on a futon, leaves you relaxed, energized and more flexible. Please wear loose-fitting clothing. 100 minutes.

These modern therapies utilize knowledge and techniques that have been around for centuries. Consider these modalities if you experience chronic shoulder, neck or back pain, restricted range of motion in joints, soreness in joints, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ dysfunction or other conditions resulting from repetitive stress.

CONNECTIVE TISSUE REBALANCING     $250
Combining a specially designed vibrational instrument with craniosacral and myofascial release techniques, this treatment encourages the connective tissue that encloses and attaches muscles to relax and release harmful patterns, allowing the whole musculoskeletal system to return to a more comfortable, balanced state. As the body accumulates stress, sustains injury or suffers trauma from birth to the present moment, connective tissue adapts to compensate for often-dysfunctional movement and posture habits. This compensation pulls the body out of alignment and can lead to pain and restricted motion. Connective Tissue Rebalancing eases these problems without discomfort. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. 80 minutes.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE     $155/240/280
This treatment is recommended for those who regularly receive massage and who enjoy intense body work.

Each service includes a measurement of the skeletal frame and an assessment of postural patterns with specific manual therapy to the problem areas. You will be provided with information to help you continue the process of positive change at home. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. 75 minutes.

REJUVENATING WATERS (Tó Bee Háájidááh)     $340
In native traditions, the sweat lodge is a place of cleansing and healing for tribal members. When the effects of the sweat lodge are combined with body work, it produces a profound response. Your journey (pronounced twa-ba-ha-ji-dah) begins in our hydrotherapy tub as you are massaged in warm water from head to toe. Then, in a steam-filled room, your already-warm, relaxed body is massaged again.

WATSU – AQUATIC MASSAGE     $155
Float comfortably in a pool of warm water while a therapist uses massage techniques to soften muscles, stretch tissues and open energy pathways.
