Aromatherapy massage is a therapeutic approach that combines traditional manual techniques with the healing properties of essential oils. This treatment goes beyond simple relaxation: it’s a clinically informed way to support the nervous system, enhance emotional well-being, and reduce physical tension.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, integrating essential oils like eucalyptus, lavender, or citrus with Swedish-style strokes or deeper tissue techniques. Kampbell Blanco Valverde, a licensed physiotherapist skilled in orthopedic manual therapy, dry needling, and sports rehabilitation, adapts this modality into his mobile massage services throughout the San José area, focusing on a chiropractic mindset rather than a traditional physiotherapy approach.
This isn’t a spa-style indulgence. It’s clinical relaxation with purpose.
Essential oils are natural plant extracts recognized for their therapeutic properties. During the session, oils are either diffused into the air or applied topically, diluted in a carrier oil, as part of the massage. The active compounds in the oils influence the nervous system through both skin absorption and olfactory pathways (your sense of smell), triggering specific physiological and emotional responses.
When integrated into massage therapy, aromatherapy can:
Each session is designed based on your health goals. Whether you’re seeking to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or ease chronic tension, Kampbell selects essential oils that align with your specific needs.
Aromatherapy massage delivers multiple physical and emotional benefits, making it ideal for individuals navigating high stress, emotional fatigue, or chronic muscular tension.
Lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood oils are often used to promote deep relaxation and support parasympathetic activation, your body’s natural calming response. This makes aromatherapy massage ideal for professionals dealing with high-pressure work, seniors with sleep issues, or expats adjusting to a new life in Costa Rica.
Citrus oils like sweet orange or bergamot stimulate serotonin and dopamine pathways in the brain. These natural mood elevators are helpful for clients managing mild depression, seasonal affective symptoms, or emotional burnout.
Essential oils such as peppermint and eucalyptus are anti-inflammatory and analgesic. When paired with Swedish or deep tissue techniques, they help ease muscle tightness, promote circulation, and reduce pain from overuse or injury, especially helpful for athletes or active retirees in areas like Santa Ana and Rohrmoser.
Eucalyptus and rosemary are often used to ease congestion or respiratory inflammation, which is especially beneficial in Costa Rica’s changing climate or during seasonal transitions in high-altitude zones like Escazú or Atenas.
Medical tourists recovering from surgery or orthopedic procedures may benefit from gentle aromatherapy massage. It promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces swelling, and calms the nervous system, all while being delivered safely in your hotel, Airbnb, or private residence.
