A massage is a real treat. Not only do they help you to relax and destress, they also have a number of health benefits. Choosing the right treatment will help you to get the most out of it. So, to help you make a decision we’ve put together a list of the services we offer and which concerns they may address best.
Swedish
A Swedish massage will energise the mind and body, releasing tension, aches and pains in the process. Blood circulation is promoted with kneading, rolling and tapping of the skin. This results in relaxed muscles and can even reduce the symptoms of mood disorders and chronic pain.
Everyone can benefit from a Swedish massage, but it’s particularly good for those who have aches and pains as a result of sport or manual labour.
Aromatherapy
An aromatherapy massage combines the benefits of healing scents and relaxing muscle therapy. Not only do the aromatherapy oils invigorate the mind and senses, they also work within the body as they soak into the skin.
Those who suffer with anxiety and insomnia can greatly relieve their symptoms with aromatherapy massage. The scents and techniques used have a positive impact on your emotional wellbeing and encourage the body to relax.
Deep Tissue
As the name implies, a deep tissue massage is a great way to knead out aches and pains that are deep in the muscles. Although therapeutic in many ways, deep tissues is not considered to be a relaxing technique. It is similar in many ways to a Swedish massage, but involves more pressure and targets the deeper layers of the body.
Those with sporting injuries and chronic pain conditions can find relief for their symptoms after a deep tissue treatment.
Hot Stone
A hot stone massage adds heat therapy to Swedish massage techniques for the ultimate relaxation experience. Heated volcanic stones are placed on the body to relieve tension in targeted areas.
Everyone can benefit from adding hot stones to their treatment, although it’s not usually recommended for pregnant women.
