Alternative Therapy is a massage and spa business in Newark, Delaware. Visits are by appointment, and the office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 8pm, Saturday from 9am to 6pm, and Sunday from 10am to 3pm.
The business says its therapists tailor each session to the individual client. According to the business, its therapists are state licensed and certified for workers' compensation work. The menu runs from classic massage such as Swedish, deep tissue and sports work to specialty options including reflexology, myofascial release, manual lymph drainage, cupping, hot stone and bamboo massage, and Reiki.
The facial menu is wide. It includes a classic European-style facial with steam, extractions as needed and SPF, a Glass Skin facial with several layered steps, a clay mask facial for oily or acne-prone skin, enzyme and glycolic peels, dermaplaning, and a high frequency facial. Light therapy runs through many of these services. The business uses FDA-cleared Celluma light therapy equipment.
For clients who want a longer visit, the spa offers packages that combine facials, body scrubs and massage, with hot towels and cooling stones. The business describes its Warmth & Renewal Facial & Massage package as its most popular option for celebrations or relaxation. A skin tightening light therapy series is sold in blocks of 6, 8 or 12 treatments.
Medical massage is a separate focus. The business can bill insurance for specified massage therapy on open auto accident cases and workers' compensation claims. Chair massage is available at the office and at off-site locations such as businesses, hospitals, gyms, wellness events and health fairs, with pricing set per booking. Call 302-368-0800 for chair massage pricing and availability.
The business says each session is customized to the individual client, and its therapists are state licensed and certified for workers' compensation work.
