Relaxation Massage

This particular massage is a technique that is the basis of all forms of Western massage treatment. It can help maintain muscles in an optimum state of nutrition, flexibility and vitality, whilst relieving muscle tightness, tight shoulders and general stiffness which may restrict full movement.

The techniques in relaxation massage are designed to have a relaxing effect and can relieve fatigue, reduce tension, calm the nervous system and promote relaxation to give a sense of renewed energy.

Therapeutic massage

One of the most effective and readily available ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness. ​Therapeutic Massage can treat these conditions:

  • Alleviate pain
  • Reduce Stiffiness
  • Alleviate Headache
  • Assist injury rehabilitation
  • Reduce Stress
  • Support physical and psychological health
  • Create Relaxation​

Therapeutic massage is based on the fact that soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) respond to touch. Most pain is myofascial (soft tissue) in origin. Trigger points (sensitive points in muscles, which radiate or refer pain to various parts of the body) can mimic many conditions. Muscles not only move our joints, they stabilise them, and they provide armour for the internal organs, minor problems with these functions cause more pain than most people realise. Most headaches originate in the muscles of the neck and head. Much of the pain of such conditions as angina comes from the hypercontraction of the chest muscles. Much abdominal and pelvic pain can be caused by trigger points in the abdominal and pelvic muscles. Low back pain and sciatic pain are far more likely to originate in muscles than in vertebral disc problems.Treatment employs massage techniques designed to treat both deep and superficial tissues, not dissimilar to those used in sports massage.

Hot Stone Massage

Water heated stones are placed on the body and also used to perform massage with. The heat of the stones melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness, and promotes relaxation. Enjoyable, luxurious and a wonderful treat – just for the sheer joy of it!
