Swedish Massage

Swedish massage uses softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body, and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This sensitivity to pressure makes it ideal for relaxation. The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.  Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses. Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

Aromatherapy Massage

This form of massage incorporates the use of essential oils which promote self healing and rejuvenation. When the body is in a relaxed state, the inhalation of the oils transmits to the limbic system (the system which controls emotions, the nervous system and hormones) and this affects the heart rate, stress levels, blood pressure, breathing, the digestive system etc.

Indian Head Massage

This treatment can be performed whilst you are seated upright and fully clothed but for best results and your total relaxation we would recommend that you lie down for the treatment (usually oil is used on the back and head so ensure that you are not rushing off to an important appointment afterwards!)

A variety of massage movements are used to relieve accumulated tension, stimulate circulation and restore joint movement. IHM is also used to aid the condition and health of the hair, particularly when combined with the use of natural organic oils. Indian Head Massage is used help reduce stress and fatigue, increase mental clarity, and relax and rejuvenate the receiver.

 

Indian head massage helps increase joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension.
