Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is based on Holistic Massage,
but focuses in more detail on specific areas, using a range of techniques
to work on the
deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue (fascia). The techniques
used in this style of massage are not dissimilar to those used in Swedish
Massage, however, the pressure is generally more intense.
This style
of massage is recommended for individuals who experience consistent
pain, participate in heavy physical activity such as athletes,
and patients who have sustained a physical injury.
It’s not uncommon
for any pain prior to this treatment to be replaced by muscle aches
for a day or two afterwards.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage delivers a whole host of benefits
to the body, by means of harmonisation, rejuvenation and restoration.
This treatment
is carried out using heated basalt stones, in addition to traditional
massage techniques applied by the therapist’s hands.
This treatment
works on physically stimulating the circulation and metabolism, which
in turn promotes deep relaxation and spiritual balance
for the recipient.
This treatment is well known to deliver benefits
in multiples to that of other massage treatments.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is both an energising and uplifting
treatment, known to promote an immediate sense of wellbeing for the
recipient. Traditionally,
this is a fully body massage, working on the neck, shoulders, arms,
abdomen, back and legs. However, this treatment can easily be tailored
to suit your needs.
This treatment uses different movements, effleurage
(gliding stroke), petrissage (wide variety and application of kneading
strokes) compression
(light medium and deep stationary pressure) shaking (a lift and a shake
of arms, legs or specific muscles) vibration (compression with a shaking
motion) and friction (a high energy vibration of an area). A combination
of these movements help to increase circulation and flexibility, soothe
tense muscles and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
If you’re
looking for a sense of peace, calm and tranquillity, then this is the
treatment for you.
Body Wraps
Husbands to be, are you struggling to lose those last few
inches before The Big Day? How about treating yourself to one of these?
A
seaweed and aromatherapy body wrap will help you detox, relax and lose
inches off your body, all in one treatment. Medical research continues
to prove the benefits of applying treatments to the epidermis (outer
layer of skin), of which body wraps is one, with references to this
method of treatments dating back to the Ancient Egyptians.
Whatever
the occasion, if you like sampling new treatments, with little effort
required, why not give this a go?
Hopi Ear Candling
Hopi Ear Candling (Ear Coning or Thermo Auricular
Therapy) is an extremely pleasant and non invasive method of assisting
the treatment of various
ear problems.
The candles create a warm sensation within the ear, promoting
relief and relaxation for the recipient. The candles draw any impurities
from
within the ear to the surface.
The treatment is followed by a facial
massage, intended to further clear the sinuses, and relieve congestion.
