Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit anyone engaged in regular physical activity. It is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue, caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. Sports massage prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and help prevent injury.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage will usually include passive and active joint movements, stretching and bending of the joints with the assistance of the therapist. Swedish massage is the most commonly offered massage technique, utilising a firm or lighter pressure on the muscles. It will involve long yet gliding strokes.
Facial Massage
A unique blend of highly effective techniques drawn from both Japanese and Indian Face Massage, Acupressure and Facial Reflexology.
Natural Lift Facial massage uses a special combination of techniques to improve the complexion, remove toxins, help prevent and remove facial wrinkles and age spots, to balance the life force energy holistically, helping to improve overall health.
Unlike facial surgery it has no ill side effects and is a very effective method of facial care, it produces the equivalent of an acupuncture facelift without the insertion of needles. This advanced method of massage treats the surface and also deep facial tissues with refined, gentle hand and finger manipulation. These techniques release stresses and traumas locked deeply into the muscles and energy of the face, head and neck.
Reiki Healing
Reiki roughly translated means – Universal Life Force. The Originator – Mikao Usui was born in Japan in the year 1865 at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration. He discovered Reiki on a Mountain Retreat, where he had gone to fast and meditate for twenty-one days.
It is a wonderful treatment that flows, treating the whole person including body, mind, spirit and emotions, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being. It also works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to help promote recovery.
Reiki can be given as a ‘hands-on’ (touch or hover over) or ‘distance healing’ that goes where it is needed and can only be used for the higher good. It is intelligent healing, promoting mental and physical well-being. The Reiki practitioner is a conduit through whom the energy flows into the recipient.
Aftercare Massage Advice
Occasionally you may experience reactions when the body starts its self-healing process and toxin elimination.
These reactions may include:
- Frequent visits to the toilet and perspiration to release waste.
- Runny nose and/or cough as the body rids itself of toxins.
- Slight rash and the skin rebalances.
To ensure you gain maximum benefits from your massage, I recommend;
- Drink plenty of water.
- Reduce your caffeine intake.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
- Reduce smoke intake.
- Try to relax.
These symptoms are only temporary and should clear within 24 hours. They are positive signals that your body has reacted to the treatment and is balancing itself.
