Swedish Massage

Swedish massage uses the manipulation of soft tissues to relax tense, tight and knotted muscles providing them with oxygen thus helping them to function more effectively. Energy is increased and muscle tone improved which especially in times of injury, aids and facilitates healing.

Stiffness in joints and diseases are eased as elimination of waste materials in the body is increased by massage.

By relieving tense muscles and increasing circulation, massage has a soothing effect on the central nervous system which is beneficial in preventing and treating stress, anxiety and inducing deep relaxation thus strengthening the body’s resistance to disease.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage is a specialised treatment using essential oils and is the ultimate in gentle medicine, having its roots in ancient times (for at least as long ago as the Pharaohs).

Essential oils are compounds extracted from plant roots, leaves, flowers and fruit which produce a wide range of therapeutic benefits (oils act as sedatives, stimulants, digestive aids etc).

Aromatherapy massage focuses on pressure points which stimulate nerve endings and blood flow which, in conjunction with the oils absorbed through the skin and traveling via the circulatory system, helps to rebalance the body.

The odour of the essential oils also assists in the promotion of contentment and well-being.
