BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
Massage can be applied over clothes or via hand-body contact, with or without oil.
Massage works the circulatory (blood vessel) system and lymphatic (Lymph vessel and nodes) immune system. It stimulates sensory nerve endings, aids muscle relaxation and the clearing of toxins via the lymphatic system. This in turn aids physical and psychological health and well-being. The whole body can be massaged, or just the back neck and shoulders, hands, feet, legs, face. Various techniques and pressures can be used. Massage can be relaxing or invigorating. It can aid stress relief, giving a general feeling of relaxation, which can be very sedative aiding sleep, releasing agitation etc. It can help promote an understanding of touch and the need for relaxation in life for health.
Massages can be combined to gain a massage truly related to your needs.
IMPORTANT: Sweet almond oil and/or coconut oil is most used. Please make your therapist aware of any allergies or intolerances you may have with oils.
REFLEXOLOGY
This treatment is technically massage, but uses pressure on specific points on the feet given by the therapist’s thumb as it moves over the whole foot. As part of this the thousands of nerve endings in the foot are stimulated and as each area of the hand or foot relates to a corresponding area of the body. Therefore, as the therapist works they release toxins and promote healing in the different areas of the body. Some people find reflexology useful for pregnancy. This treatment finishes with a further relaxing foot & calf massage. This technique aims to alleviate many conditions of the body and promote relaxation.
