Acupressure…
This chair massage is based on thirteen hundred years of Japanese style acupressure massage. The massage focuses on applying pressure to over one hundred specific stress release points around the upper body leaving you both relaxed and revitalised. The therapy doesn’t involve the use of oils or creams and can be performed whilst fully clothed. This discipline promotes stress relief increases circulation, lowers blood pressure and eases muscular aches and pains.
Reiki Healing…
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name meaning spiritually guided life energy.You relax, fully clothed, on a couch or seated while the healer holds his hands on or above you. There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions. The energy flows wherever it is required and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience. Reiki can be used for many ailments like reducing stress, relieving pain, headaches, stomach upsets, back problems, asthma and respiratory problems, PMT, menstrual problems, sinus, anxiety and many more.
Indian Head Hand Massage…
Indian Head and Hand Massage is a relaxing treatment which, as the name suggests, concentrates on massaging the head. Head and scalp massage can be used alongside simple meditative techniques to provide a simple and effective way to relax. The treatments involves massage, shiatsu and acupressure techniques on upper back, shoulders, arms/hands, neck, scalp and face. This relaxes tense areas but, at the same time, helps to rebalance the energy, clearing any areas of negativity.
Reflexology…
Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance and works by applying gentle pressure to specific reflex points, usually on the feet, which correspond to organs, glands and muscles in the body. Many people use reflexology as a way of relaxing the mind and body and counteracting stress. With ever increasing levels of stress, it is important people take more responsibility for their own health care needs. Reflexology helps us to cope on a physical & emotional level thereby encouraging us to heal and maintain health in all areas of our lives.
Deep Tissue Massage…
Deep Tissue Shoulder Massage is designed to relieve severe tension within muscles and connective tissue or fascia. It uses a dedicated set of techniques and strokes to achieve relief from muscular-skeletal complaints. The Session's are often quite intense due to deliberate focused work, but not from the use of sustained deep pressure. It is often employed by people involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes.
No Hands Massage…
No Hands is a form of massage where the therapist uses their forearms instead of their hands, resulting in a surprisingly deep, but still gentle massage to improve your health and well being. This therapy is available as a 30 minute session, and due to time constraints and popularity is on a first come first served basis.
