Rescue Rittenhouse’s combined 60-Minute Massage and Salt Scrub includes:  a Swedish massage, the timeless style that incorporates long, flowing strokes to encourage relaxation, lymphatic drainage and detoxification;  and a soothing, smoothing body buff that exfoliates and hydrates, hitting all of those hard-to-reach spots for a head-to-toe glow.
