SPORTS THERAPY AND DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

A soothing back, shoulder and neck massage targeting areas of stress and tension.

Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage emphasises prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons.

You don't have to be an Olympian to benefit from sports massage. Muscle tension can affect anyone. Remedial massage can offer help to those who suffer from back, neck or shoulder pain which may be brought on by decorating, gardening or even driving.

Many postural problems occur as a result of sedentary activities such as sitting at a computer all day in office. These problems can be treated in the same way as those of an active sportsperson. Repetitive strain injury, whiplash, frozen shoulder, headache, migraine, stiff neck and backache can all be relieved with deep tissue massage. Stress and tiredness are also common problems that can be alleviated.

HOT STONE THERAPY

A time to let go and allow yourself to relax.

Hot stone therapy massage works in harmony with the body using various massage techniques with warm stones, to promote a sense of balance and well-being. This massage can be gentle, extremely relaxing and a real treat. This unique therapy, which uses stones that are formed from volcanic origin, is extremely effective due to the stones’ thermal energy conductive effects. This hand s on massage, in conjunction with these unique stones, produces intensified contact and directs energy to areas of blockage and tension. Is an ancient health treatment in which a practitioner manipulates the surface and deep muscles of the body to release toxins, free constricted muscles that have decreased one’s range of motion. It is effective in improving the circulation of our blood to promote healthy body function. It promotes relaxation, allowing the body to unwind and recharge.
