Massage Therapy
We offer remedial massage (also known as sports massage) and hot stone massage. Your specific needs can be discussed to ensure the most appropriate massage technique is applied.
Remedial Massage is a deep treatment which involves manipulation of all the soft tissues within the body. This can help correct problems and imbalances that are caused by trauma, posture and repetitive strain.
Deep work to the soft tissues, including skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia encourages these tissues to lengthen, relax and release their holding patterns. It also encourages physical and mental relaxation and stimulates the circulation, aiding the recovery of damage in muscular pulls and tears and giving the body, generally, a feeling of well being.
Remedial massage is used in conjunction with osteopathy, podiatry and many other complementary therapy treatments, enabling faster recovery for patients.
Hot Stone Massage
Heated stones held in the palm of the hand enable the practitioner to deliver a customised massage treatment for each patient. As well as being very relaxing, the heat held in the stones allows for greater muscle tension release, warms the body and soothes away stress.
Mind and Body Therapy
Mind and Body Therapy is a dynamic therapy which combines the benefits of hypnotherapy with a specially designed therapeutic massage. Mind and body therapy is provided by our trained and experienced massage therapists who have also completed special training in the new therapy.
