Massage is a very effective technique for controlling pain – head, back, neck and shoulder pain all benefit from massage. It is also beneficial for relieving pain associated with arthritis, injuries, or even recent surgery.
- Massage confuses the body’s pain signals
- Massage calls up the body’s natural painkillers ie endorphins
- Massage relieves mental stress and anxiety
Thai Massage
Originally designed to relieve the aches and pains of monks, post meditation, Thai Massage was subsequently found to have amazing benefits for the mind and body, relieving stress, back pain, joint pain, headaches, insomnia and fatigue, while at the same time improving flexibility and posture.
Thai massage begins with the feet and ends with a head massage, in between the whole body is stretched and manipulated in a slow, meditative and rhythmic manner; clients need to wear loose, comfortable clothing and be comfortable with massage on a futon on the floor, rather than on a couch.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage uses a variety of stroking, kneading, pressure and flowing movements over the body to treat and prevent a huge variety of complaints, or can simply be used for deep relaxation. It is the perfect treatment to boost overall vitality and promote a sense of calm.
It is a deeply relaxing massage designed for tired, stressed and aching muscles and has many benefits including:
- promoting an increased oxygen flow in the blood whilst releasing toxins from the muscles
- stimulating the skin and nervous system and soothing the nerves at the same time
- helps to reduce stress and tension both emotionally and physically
Deep Tissue Massage
Used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressures body work, Deep Tissue massage aims to help release muscle holding patterns and to stretch and lengthen tissue thereby correcting poor postural patterns.
There are many benefits to deep tissue work including:
- helping to loosen muscle tension
- aiding the release of toxins from muscles
- allowing blood and oxygen to circulate properly throughout the body
- helps in increasing flexibility and helping to heal old injuries
Deep Tissue massage focuses on more specific areas of the body and during your treatment you can expect the use of fingers, thumbs, fists and elbows to be used to apply the needed pressure.
Pregnancy Massage
Also called pre-natal massage, pregnancy massage therapy is specifically tailored for the expectant mother’s needs. It differs from regular massage as the mother’s body is properly positioned and supported during the massage using pillows and padding – proper positioning ensures comfort and safety for the mother and baby.
Pregnancy massage has been found to reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints. It’s a popular complementary therapy during pregnancy for back pain, when choices for pain relief, such as medication, are often limited.
