Massage, glorious massage!

Massage is one of the world’s most popular, medically-recognised techniques for relaxing, beating stress and depression. In China and Japan, massage has been standard medical practice for centuries. It is believed to have it’s origins in the age-old techniques of acupressure and acupuncture – using pressure points and motion to smooth and relax muscles. Even the World Health Organisation (WHO) encourages it for maintaining higher standards of health at all stages of life. Massage as an essential self-care therapy respects and promotes the body’s endless capacity for rejuvenation and recovery. Types we offer include:

Deep Tissue Massage

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, releasing patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage:

  • Release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain.
  • Helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue.
  • Helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly
  • Helps to "unstick" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle.

What happens during a Deep Tissue Massage?

During a deep tissue massage, the therapist focuses on specific areas of the body. This deeper style of massage may sometimes cause some soreness during or right after the massage, as the muscles are releasing stored tension and toxins. However, you will normally feel better than ever within a day or two! Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

Relaxing Massage

What is a Relaxing Massage?

Imagine feeling deliciously relaxed in every muscle of your body, sinking heavily into the massage table and enjoying the sumptuous, aromatic experience of being professionally massaged until all your tension simply eases away.

That's essentially the experience of a deep relaxation massage. A wonderful way to let go of both physical, mental and emotional tension. In fact as you feel present and relaxed in your physical body, this eases the mind and emotions as well. A total self-care and wellbeing experience.

Swedish Massage

What is a Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage was developed in the 1700's by a Swedish doctor named Pir Henrik Ling and it refers to techniques which aim to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones – always in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.

Benefits of Swedish massage:

  • Helps to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and circulation
  • Releases toxins from the muscles and thus shortens recovery time from muscular strain
  • Stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable
  • Stimulates the skin and nervous system thereby reducing stress - it is a recommended part of any stress-management program.
  • Relaxing and invigorating – thus promoting general health and well being.
