Massage Treatments

Swedish massage is one of the most relaxing, revitalising and rejuvenating experiences you can find. Perfect to help combat the stress and strain of modern day living.

Through the use of specific strokes on the body, Swedish massage helps to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and eliminate the build up of toxins in the body.

This type of masage reduces the recovery time needed from muscular strain. It increases the circulation without putting any strain on the heart. It gently stretches the tendons and ligaments keeping them supple. It also stimulates the skin and nervous system while soothing the nerves themselves at the same time.

Aromatherapy is a more gentle massage with essential oils used for the treatment or prevention of disease. It is designed to treat the whole person and not just the sympton or disease by assisting the body's natural ability to balance, heal and maintain itself.

Essential oils consist of tiny aromatic molecules that are readily absored via the skin, and whilst breathing they enter the lungs. These therapeutic constituents next enter the bloodstream and are carried around the body where they can deliver healing powers.

Aromatherapy massage can help with many health conditions such as stress, insomnia, PMS/PMT, IBS, back problems, anxiety, etc
