Massage

Massage is a great way to relax. It has many physical and psychological benefits.

Massage is a great way to relax and ease any tension. Physical benefits include:

  • Relieves muscles

  • Relieves tension and improves mobility

  • Improves blood circulation

  • Stimulates the skin and muscles

  • Improves lymphatic drainage which assists with the removal of waste and toxins

  • Relaxes the body and thus improves mental concentration and reduces stiffness in the muscles

 

Psychological benefits include feeling soothed and pampered, calming the mind, dispersing accumulated stress and emotion and creating a general feeling of calm and well being. Furthermore, sleep patterns can improve, bringing a sense of calm as sleep allows the brain to rest and process the day’s information.

 The stress hormone cortisol, has also been shown to drop after a massage

Massage is an amazing way to create balance in life.

Treatment times vary from 30 - 90 mins

Appointments

​

Please arrive on time to your appointment. Clients who are late will be subject to cancellation if the remaining time does not allow for the full treatment to be carried out. In some cases a cancellation fee will be required. All appointments require a non refundable deposit. Please read the full terms and conditions prior to booking.

You will need to complete a consultation form prior to your appointment. You will also need to familiarise yourself with the appointment instructions and after care. Please let your therapist know of any concerns prior to your appointment. You must keep your therapist informed of any changes in your health when you return for repeat treatments. Failure to adhere to the before and aftercare will affect the life of your treatment. 

​

  • Complete the consultation form

  • It is important to hydrate before and after the appointment

  • Do not eat right before the appointment, have a light meal 1 -2 hours before the treatment

  • Where possible, wear loose fitting clothes

  • Where possible, shower prior to your appointment

  • Request your preferences. The aim of the treatment is to ensure you feel relaxed and satisfied that your target areas have received the required attention. If you want a particular area worked on more, discuss this with your therapist. This is the same for pressure. Please let the therapist know if and where you would prefer more or less pressure. This can also be adjusted during the treatment

  • Be sensible with your timing. Many of us lead busy lifestyles, but try to take the time to take a rest from your busy schedule after the massage as jumping back into a busy lifestyle can undo the benefits.

  • Use the bathroom prior to your appointment
