An Oil Massage is a soft touch massage, on the surface of the muscle, without any pain, so it is preferred by people who do not like the feeling of too much pressure. The happiness and wellness received from an oil massage stimulates the release of the Endorphin hormone, which improves psycho-immunology. It also promotes health and helpfully refreshes the whole body, reducing pain, and promoting relaxation for good health care. However, if a stronger pressure massage is required then just please request this.
Deep tissue massage is similar to classic massage, but the pressure is deeper in order to reach the deepest layers of muscles and fascia and the movement is slower. Deep tissue therapy is especially effective for people suffering from chronic aches and pains, as well as from upper and lower back pain, stiff neck, sore shoulders, and general muscle tightness.
Smooth hot stones have been used to relax tissue and dig deeper into muscles since ancient times. Native Americans used river-smoothed stones to treat aching muscles thousands of years ago. Today, in order for the stones to retain their heat, therapists use stones made of basalt, which is rich in iron. While practitioners and spas have developed their own versions of hot stone massage treatment and therapy, one constant remains: through their heat, the sleek stones warm and relax the muscles, allowing therapists to apply deeper pressure and to access deeper muscle layers.
Most people suffer from tension in their necks and shoulders at some time in their lives, which is hardly surprising if you consider the job the neck has to do. Poor posture, bad working positions, and carrying heavy bags all conspire to make the problem worse. However, you can ease the pain with a remedy literally at our fingertips!
Using firm pressure, soothing strokes and stretches to the back, neck and shoulder area, a massage session can help reduce tension and free you of minor aches. This massage is designed to concentrate on tension built up in the muscles of the back, neck, and shoulders, so the benefits can be achieved in a shorter period of time. Using pressure points and stretches to target the source of the pain you will notice the difference from the first treatment.
Rushed off your feet? Why not give them some pampering with our refreshing foot massage. Although we only work on your feet and lower legs, where our therapists apply gentle pressure to the reflex points in your feet, this treatment eases tension in your whole body.
Foot massage has been practiced for centuries in many cultures, promoting health and well-being. Traditional Asian culture linked different parts of the body to different reflexology points in the feet – connecting, for example, the eyes to the second and third toes. The idea was that if you were suffering with, for example, a liver problem, it could be helped by massaging the inner side of the left foot. Today, however, the practice involves applying pressure to all of the traditional reflexology points in the feet and lower legs. These points run along the so-called ‘sen’ energy lines (analogous to the ‘meridians’ in Chinese medicine).
