Services

SWEDISH MASSAGE

Swedish massage is relaxing, invigorating and feels good. It includes techniques like long strokes, kneading, friction, vibration and shaking motions that apply pressure between muscles and bones, it improves the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Other benefits include shortening recovery time from muscular strain, increased circulation and a soothing effect on the nervous system. It reduces stress emotionally and physically therefore should be used in stress management.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Remedial Massage Technique
It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint is deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves are also used.

Benefits of Remedial Massage
Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.

Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries.

Sessions usually take an hour, depending on the whether the practitioner will just address a specific area or give a whole body massage. As oil is used, it is necessary for the patient to be unclothed for the treatment.

MASSAGE SPORTS

Sports massage is a type of massage that is specifically tailored to sporting injuries or ailments. It is not meant to be a relaxing massage and, indeed, can become quite vigorous at times. Contrary to its name, sports massage is not only utilised by professional sportspeople or people that exercise heavily. It is of benefit to anyone that exercises, even if it is only mild exercise such as regular walking.

Sports massage is designed to prevent and relieve injuries and conditions that are associated with exercise. It can often be quite strenuous and is meant to relieve and reduce the stress and tension that can build up within the body’s soft tissues while exercising. It can be carried out before, during, or after playing sport or exercising and uses techniques that are designed to increase endurance and performance, to minimise the chances of injury and, if there is an injury, to reduce the recovery time.

DEEP TISSUE

Intense pressured techniques designed to alleviate tension areas and knots. This is great for chronic sore back and neck pain and other chronic painful areas. This form of massage involves targeting trigger points, which is applying pressure to tense areas of muscle, forming a release of tension and thus relaxation of the body.

RELAXATION MASSAGE

Soft and flowing massage which improves circulation, lymph flow and enhances relaxation. Relaxation massage is a technique that creates total tissue relaxation, while promoting blood, lymphatic and nerve circulation. Massage can help to relax muscle spasms, relieve pain and promote faster healing . It also relieves stress and anxiety as well as Insomnia. It’s great for Emotional and physical well being. So relaxing it can put you to sleep. This session is designed for maximum therapeutic results leading to mind/body balance, clarity and peace of mind, body and soul.

hot and cold stones

Hot Stones are volcanic stones from Mt Etna in Sicily, Italy. They retain heat very well and are only applied on the body with a comfortable warm temperature and not actually hot. Heat helps circulation and relaxation of the muscular tissues. The Cold stones are marble stones from Italy, they retain cold very well and only applied to certain areas such as legs for a limited time. The cold helps inflammation and cardiovascular health.
