Remedial/Sports/Deep Tissue Massage

The use of deep tissue massage, paying particular attention to muscle condition, fatigue and re-invigorating the muscle, helps overcome tired, strained or damaged muscles. For sports people, there is a need to regularly maintain the condition of the muscles to maximise athletic performance.

Many people suffer injury or strain to their muscles due to repetitive work, sitting or standing awkwardly. Remedial massage helps clear the unwanted fluid from the muscle to allow new blood, repair cells and collagen fibres to rebuild the muscle. Aches and pains are generally the result of unhealthy muscles that can be manipulated at a deep tissue level in order to help much faster healing and greater comfort.

Aromatherapy Massage

This is the use of essential plant oils along with plant base oils to be used with a deeply relaxing Swedish massage. We select a combination of essential oils after consultation with you to help heal and renew the body. This massage lasts for 90 minutes and includes full body, face and scalp.

For thousands of years, various plant extracts have been used to treat different human conditions: lavender for relaxation,eucalyptus for decongestion, tea tree for anti-bacterial properties, rose for skin rejuvenation and jojoba for calming and smoothing the skin. There is a selection of many essential oils from which we blend a particular mix to suit you personally as an individual.

Cellulite Reduction Massage

This is an hour long massage, initially working on areas of the body to relax them and stimulate good blood flow. We use a combination of herbs and oils applied to the skin surface that are infused through the skin to begin to help to break down excessive cellulite.

Later in the massage, we use a G5 medical massage machine on specific problem areas to redistribute cellulite globules in the lower levels of the skin. What tends to happen with cellulite is that there is a globulisation of fat tissue and it needs to be broken down and redistributed into a smooth pattern so that the skin has a more healthy and youthful look.

Particular areas that clients often like attention paid to during a cellulite reduction massage are the thighs, buttocks, mid-riff and abdomen. The G5 machine is the machine that is used in surgery after liposuction to redistribute dermal fat tissue. It is very effective and progressively - along with a good dietary and exercise program - the client can see great improvements to the tone and texture of their skin.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

This massage pays particular attention to help drain down the lymphatic system which is the body's waste disposal system. It often becomes clogged and blocked because the lymphatic system has no connection to the heart, therefore during tiredness or illness it can become sluggish and an excess of waste material can remain at different sites in the body.

The lymphatic drainage massage helps move the lymph (fluid of the lymphatic system) along the drainage corridors and stimulates the lymph nodes (processing plants of the lymph), cleaning out the system. This can be very beneficial for people who have sluggish skins, are tired or have had too much travel and not enough time to take care of themselves. It's also very good from time to time as a process of cleansing and decontaminating the body, emitting toxins and allowing the body systems to flow naturally.

The great thing about lymphatic drainage is that once excess waste has been drained and expelled from the body, it leaves more room for oxygenated blood, white blood cells and healing repair mechanisms to carry out their daily job.
