Massage therapy We cater for a wide range of clients and therefore offer a wide range of massage therapies. Whether its a deep sports massage for after squash, or a gentle aromatherapy massage to ease away the tensions of the week, our massage therapists are here to help. Holistic massage
Deep tissue massage A deep tissue release suitable for everyone, not just
sportsmen and women. Its principal objectives are often more therapeutic than
relaxing. It may focus on particularly tight areas and can include
myofascial and trigger point release. Sports massage A deep tissue massage aimed at improving circulation,
eliminating the build up of lactic acids and preventing accumulated stiffness
from training or working repetitively. Some people choose to have a sports
massage regularly to reduce the effect of regular training or working positions.
Others have it to reduce an acute tightness from time to time. Thai Yoga Massage Thai Yoga massage is an ancient healing art and distinct massage form.
It is a form of passive Yoga to develop flexibility, body alignment, inner organ massage, blood oxygenation and deep relaxation.
Performed on the floor and fully clothed, deep pressure is applied; synchronised stretching movements enable the achievement of flexibility, the opening of joints and balancing of the muscles.
Benefits include improved vitality and a sense of inner peace and quiet mind.
Each treatment is tailor-made to the needs of the individual.
It is effective as prevention as well as in treatment of many common ailments.
Aromatherapy A form of massage based on the use of essential oils. These
are derived from the flowers, bark branches, rind or roots of plants with
purported healing properties. The choice of oils will differ with each massage,
as they are blended to individual needs. Reflexology Reflexology involves applying pressure to feet and hands.
The therapeutic technique is assessed on the basis of zones and reflexes and is
used for the relief of tension both in the feet and corresponding areas. Indian Head Massage (IHM) IHM is a deeply relaxing treatment which includes massage
of the upper back, neck, head and face. It is performed fully clothed in a
seated position. Oils can be used if required. Booking your Massage All massage therapies can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes or 90 minutes.
