Deep tissue massage is particularly beneficial for relieving chronic tension in muscles and fascia, and can also improve muscle tone. This massage is a firm to strong massage that focuses on relieving muscular tension in the body. The pressure applied by the therapist will be suited to your preference.
Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient form of massage developed in Thailand that uses acupressure and assisted stretching to release blocked energy in the body and relieve tension in the muscles. It is like having a Yoga session done for you.
The participant remains fully clothes whilst the session is conducted on a futon on the floor.
It is a full body routine that usually lasts around 90 minutes, but can be adapted to suit the time needs of the individual.
Sports massage
Sports massage is a stronger type of massage that focuses specifically on a certain area of the body to help relieve tension that could be due to an injury or overuse. It can help those in sports to recover quicker from injury and regain freedom in the body with optimal mobility for improved performance. It is also for anyone who needs a strong massage that focuses on specific areas.
Holistic Massage
Massage is the best way to relax both physically and mentally, bringing the body back into homeostasis i.e. the body’s own natural state of balance and harmony.
The Holistic approach aims to use relaxation, stimulation and invigoration of the muscles through the use of soothing massage, bringing our body, mind and emotions back into balance.
Along with lifestyle and aftercare advice the Holistic approach to massage is a great way to help keep you in control of your own health.
Aromatherapy
Out of all the five senses, smell has the most direct connection to the emotional centre of the brain.
Certain scents promote relaxation, reduce stress and alleviate depression, while others increase memory, help improve self-image, enhance sexuality and modify sleep patterns.
When essential oils are used on their own or in conjunction with massage, the treatments, such as a foot or hand massage can have profound effect, bringing comfort, sympathy and reassurance.
reflexology
Reflexology is a healing treatment whereby pressure is applied to certain points on the feet and hands to prevent and treat ailments throughout the whole body. Nowadays reflexology has become a popular complimentary therapy that can bring relief from the stresses of the modern lifestyle.
reiki
Reiki is an ancient and simple system of ‘laying on of hands’, that uses gentle touch to promote deep relaxation, thus reducing the effects of stress and anxiety. Reiki can balance the nervous system and can bring energetic balance to the body and mind.
Reiki can promote natural self healing that can relieve pain and tension in the body and encourage mental well being.
Reiki treatments typically last about 50 minutes during which the client lies on a massage table fully clothed. The Reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. They use a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions.
