Massage
is a technique derived from many cultures throughout
history and is defined as “the manipulation
of soft tissue for therapeutic purposes'. It is a
natural, non-invasive therapy which promotes physiological
and psychological well-being.
The
physiological benefits are many but in particular
massage can:
Improve circulation
Aid
digestion
Promote
neural communication
Tone
tired muscles
Reduce
aches and stiffness
Eliminate
toxins via lymphatic drainage
Better
skin quality
The
psychological effects of massage are:
Soothing
Calming
Relaxing
all
of which reduce stress. It is worth bearing in mind
that 75% of disease is believed to be related to stress.
Swedish
massage is traditionally performed using talcum powder,
however for maximum benefit Grapeseed or Sweet Almond
Oil is used.
The
first treatment begins with a general health assessment
to ascertain your well-being and any particular conditions
you wish to be addressed. (Please allow an extra 10
minutes for your initial consultation).
Whether
you choose a massage to soothe and relax or to stimulate
and invigorate, the treatment is tailor - made to
your requirements and your comfort and modesty are
of the utmost importance.
