HOW MASSAGE BENEFITS YOU

Tactile touch is essential for humans to function and thrive!

If you are experiencing any of the following
  • Soreness, aches & pains
  • Restricted movement
  • Suppressed immunity
  • Tiredness
  • Chronic or recurrent physical & psychological health complaints

    ...The circulation of the fluids in your body may have been disrupted or blocked by injuries, illness, infections, emotions, stress, an unbalanced diet, insufficient rest, a sedentary lifestyle, muscle tension, or repetetive or incorrect body movements.

    A professional MASSAGE involves the use of specific touch, pressure, strokes, movements and stretches applied to the skin, muscles, joints, and pressure points.

    The benefits are plentiful. They include:
  • Improved circulation of body fluids
  • Improved oxygenation of blood to the muscles, organs & other body tissues
  • Improved bodily functions
  • Removal of blockages & release of muscle tension
  • Reduced pain
  • Improved mobility
  • Strengthening of the immune system
  • Faster recovery
  • Reduced stress
  • Increased relaxation
  • Increased body awareness

    Having regular massages can boost your immune system and prevent injuries and illness from occurring or progressing.

    TREATMENTS AVAILABLE

    Chinese Remedial Massage
    In Chinese Medicine, illness or pain is viewed as an imbalance of the flow of the energy (Qi) in the body.

    With a variety of massage techniques and stimulation of pressure-points the flow of energy (Qi) is moved along channels, connecting all parts of the body, restoring balance.

    Chinese Massage is remedial and can alleviate and treat a large range of complaints, such as:
  • Musculoskeletal soreness & aches
  • Sciatica
  • Headaches & Migraines
  • Insomnia
  • Gastric disorders & Constipation
  • Period pains & PMS
  • Fatigue
  • Paediactric complaints
  • Depression
  • Stress & Anxiety

    Chinese Remedial Massage is safe and can be very beneficial for babies, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and anyone else who may have special needs.

    Cupping & Gua Sha
    Cupping and Gua Sha ("spooning") are additional techniques used in combination with massage to further stimulate the flow of Qi in the body. Cupping is particularly effective in loosening tight muscles and in the treatment of the common cold and other respiratory infections.

    Lymph Drainage Massage
    Lymph drainage massage stimulates the flow of the body's lymphatic fluid to the lymph glands, thereby strongly enhancing the removal of the body's waste products.

    It cleanses, relaxes and energises the body and is particularly good for:
  • Reducing swellings (due to either soft tissue injury or oedema)
  • Softening scar tissues
  • Promoting healing & recovery post surgery
  • Cellulite
  • Arthritis
  • Detoxification
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Neorological disorders

    Lymph drainage is an extremely light, slow and gentle style massage.
