Massage:
Massages are so much more than just relaxing. Whilst they can feel amazing and are often considered a treat, it is proven that a massage can actually benefit your health.
Massage works best when it is received on a regular basis. We recommend receiving a massage once a month for regular maintenance and even more often if you have an injury you are trying to rehabilitate.
Benefits of Massage:
Improve Circulation. Loosening muscles and tendons allows increased blood flow throughout the body. Improving your circulation can have a number of positive effects on the rest of your body, including reduced fatigue and pain management!
Reduce Pain. Massage therapy is great for working out problem areas like lower back pain and chronic stiffness.
Eliminate Toxins. Stimulating the soft tissues of your body will help to release toxins through your blood and lymphatic systems.
Improve Flexibility. Massage therapy will loosen and relax your muscles, helping your body to achieve its full range of movement potential.
Improve Sleep and reduce fatigue. A massage will encourage relaxation and boost your mood. Going to bed with relaxed and loosened muscles promotes more restful sleep, and you’ll feel less tired in the morning!
Enhance Immunity. Stimulation of the lymph nodes re-charges the body’s natural defense system.
Reduce Stress, Alleviate Depression and Anxiety. Massage therapy can help to release endorphins in your body, helping you to feel happy, energized, and at ease.
Massage We Offer:
Hot Stone
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The localized heat and weight of the stones, melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. The Hot stones allow the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.
Swedish
Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of massage and one of the most commonly requested forms of massage. It incorporates five strokes: effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration. These strokes are designed to stimulate circulation, ease surface level tension, and ultimately, relax and relieve stress.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage builds on Swedish massage employing many of its basic strokes, but applying more pressure. Deep tissue massage works into deeper layers of muscle and fascia to break up tight knots. This type of massage is often used to address chronic pain and relieve deep layers of tension.
Whereas Swedish massage is typically performed with the hands and fingertips, deep tissue massage also employs elbows and forearms to reach deep layers of muscle tissue.
Aftercare:
Drink Plenty of water
Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours.
Avoid sunbeds and direct sunlight.
Do not have a hot bath following a massage.
Avoid exercise for 12 hours.
