WHY HAVE A MASSAGE?Our skin is made up of constantly dying cells that must be constantly rejuvenated. Inorder for your skin to remain healthy you must remove the various dirt and bacteria thatassaults your skin. Massage wakes up old skin, tightens tissues and muscles, andincreases the blood circulation in the body. I can confirm that at Roop they massage,tone, nourish and exfoliate your entire body to fight the elements, that dry out the skin.I am confident you will emerge as we did, with new soft skin and a wondrous feeling.

Roop is the first spa in the U.S. to offer this powerfulanti-stress treatment, that is rooted in Indian medical and reli-gious traditions.
