An old favourite! Traditional full body massage using stroking and kneading movements to relax muscles, release tension and toxins and induce a state of complete calm. The treatment is carried out on a couch, with the client largely unclothed but modesty is preserved at all times and you will be comfortably encased in large soft towels. Human touch can have a profound effect on physical and emotional wellbeing, releasing endorphins and making you feel comforted, soothed and very relaxed. Swedish or Therapeutic massage has many medical uses too, including increasing circulation without straining the heart, flushing the tissues of waste such as lactic acid, stimulating the nervous system, and freeing up those tense muscles, making you feel supple and lighter.
Indian Head Massage
The original Indian Head Massage, a pleasurable experience of the massage of the head, face, neck, shoulders, and back, has been practised in India within families for thousands of years. Now adapted to suit the west (with no oils), the head massage utilises the ancient Ayurvedic healing system. It is an invaluable treatment, helping to relieve stress related problems including: headaches, eyestrain and neck and shoulder stiffness, with the added bonus of improving skin tone and condition of the hair. It can be carried out through clothing, and you will normally be seated throughout. So how about taking the weight of your shoulders?
Onsite Massage.
On-site massage is a 15 - 20 minute technique derived from acupressure, therapeutic massage and the Ayurvedic system and formulated for ease of use. Working on the back, shoulders, neck, scalp and upper arms, this fully-clothed massage needs no messy oils and we use special ergonomically designed massage chairs for maximum support and comfort. The ultimate in efficient stress-busting, on-site massage is our most popular therapy for business use. It feels fantastic and has been clinically proven to increase alertness and problem-solving ability while decreasing anxiety, stress and blood pressure.
Sports Massage.
Sports massage is used to improve muscular performance, help relieve muscular tensions or problems, and restore mobility to injured muscle tissue. It is also used as a maintenance measure - to prevent injury or other problems - by athletes, those who exercise regularly, or those who experience tension or inflexibility in the muscles. Our therapists focus on individual needs and use deep, powerful massage techniques to release shortened and tight muscles, and stretch out and free up adhesions and scar tissue. With the ever growing number of people taking part in demanding physical exercise that can create imbalances in the tissues, sports massage is rapidly increasing in popularity and recognition as an invaluable part of a fitness regime. Sports massage is particularly effective before and after a sports event, such as marathon, match or tournament and our therapists can be block-booked for events such as these.
Aromatherapy Massage.
This is a pampering, relaxing full-body massage carried out with pure essential oils extracted from flowers, leaves, herbs and wood. The essential oils are used for therapeutic aims and a full consultation will be taken prior to treatment to find the oils best suited to you. You will be asked to remove most of your clothing, but your modesty will be preserved with large, soft towels. Expect to feel deliciously relaxed, pampered and re-balanced.
