Deep Tissue Massage

Unlike a general massage, this treatment is used to specifically deal with persistent, long-term or a recent injury causing pains and discomfort, such as trapped nerves, lower back pains, knots in shoulders and tennis elbow. These types of pains are often inter-related and need multiple tailored sessions to get to the root of the problem.

For example, many clients come with lower back pains from driving or office workers with various conditions and the course of treatments would deal with related issues such as tension in shoulders, tingling pains down the legs, help with sleeping difficulties as they are all connected. As we work the deep layers of the muscle tissue, I recommend that you book longer sessions for this treatment to allow time for warming up the area to be treated and post-treatment stretching to aid recovery. Persistent or long-term problems would benefit from 2-3 sessions in a course.

It's important to note that this is a firm massage, very popular with long distant drivers, IT desk workers, doctors, hairdressers and so on... where you suffer physical strains. Also very good for sports people including footballers, golfers, gym enthusiasts.

Hot Stones Massage

This is a deliciously warming and detoxifying massage using smooth heated stones that are placed on specific pressure points on the spine. The warmth combined with massage strokes helps any tension to melt away. It is also the perfect treatment for treating isolated injuries. The stones can have a sedative effect which makes this a deeply relaxing and restorative massage.

Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body.

The heat of the stones warms and relaxes the muscles which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. Some massage therapists place stones on points that are thought to be energy centres of the body to rebalance the body and mind.

It focuses on addressing the unique needs and discomforts experienced during pregnancy and aims to provide relaxation, relieve muscle tension, reduce swelling, and promote overall well-being.

	Aromatherapy Massage Our aromatherapy massage is a delightfully restorative and aromatic experience. We use essential oils made from natural plant essences chosen according to how you feel – and how you would like to feel. We might use eucalyptus oil if your head and chest have been feeling congested; or tangerine oil is ideal if you’ve been feeling low in energy. Lavender helps with relaxation, and peppermint is known to help alleviate sore muscles. We mix the essential oils with a base oil such as sweet almond, and of course we will discuss with you what we use – you may have your own preferences. What you can expect is total, blissful relaxation, with many benefits including increased energy, clearer thinking, reduced anxiety and deep and restful sleep.

	Treatment for lower back and sciatica Focused on specific areas to help lower back pains and sciatica. If you have pains, tingling like pins and needles or feel numb/weak in your bottom, back of your legs, foot and toes, you may have sciatica. You may also feel back pains, but not usually as bad as in your leg/foot or bottom. Sometimes, as your body compensate for the sciatica related pains you may also experience more back pains. As this is a very specific problem, this treatment will be very focused on specific areas and is not a general massage. Clients with sciatica usually take a number of weeks to recover, depending on the seriousness of the condition and your general physical well being. This treatment is best taken as a series of sessions, usually 4.
