The Refuge Spa – At Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel & Spa

Therapists at The Refuge Spa are able to pinpoint specific areas in the body and help decrease muscle pain while improving flexibility, range of motion and effective movement.

Athletes benefit from tailored massage styles including Swedish, compression, stretching, deep tissue, trigger points and percussion methods.
