Massage

Using massage strokes to calm the body and mind, this gentle and soothing technique can be used to relieve the stresses of our busy lifestyles.

It is easy to be aware of the stress in our daily lives, but much harder to know how to change it. Stress is not just in the mind, it causes a physical response in the body which can manifest in our muscles. When stressful events occur repeatedly, the effects multiply and are compounded over time.

Massage treatments help balance the body's systems, promote well being, prevent illness and relax both mind and body. This occurs through the 1-on-1 attention received from the therapist.

Physical benefits sought by massage include:

Reduced oedema, cellulite and improved lymphatic drainage
Stimulation of internal organs such as the lungs, kidneys, and brain
Improved diaphragm muscles, leading to deeper breathing into the stomach
Increased peristaltic (colonic) flow, improving waste removal
Removal of toxins and waste products from body tissues, for example lactic acid from aching muscles after exercise
Improved supply of oxygen and nutrients, feeding body tissues
Increased blood circulation
Improvement of skin colour, suppleness and resistance to infection
Desquamation (shedding of old skin)
Improved posture
Relaxation and prevention of hard, contracted muscles, tight knots and adhesions
Stretching and broadening of muscle tissue, improving muscle tone
Warmth, comfort and relaxation

Emotional benefits can include:

Reduction in stress, anxiety and depression
A calmer, serene, more laid back approach
A feeling of well being and a positive attitude
Promotion of body health awareness, enhancement of self-esteem and image
Improved concentration and clarity of thought

The NO HANDS^® Massage

Developed by UK Massage therapist, Gerry Pyves, NO HANDS Massage is the fastest growing new approach to Massage sweeping across the country!

It is being hailed as “The New Massage” because it bridges the gap between Eastern and Western approaches to healing touch. Eastern approaches to touch are often deep and powerful but sometimes rely on painful techniques. Western Massage is often pleasantly relaxing but can also be superficial or ineffective.

NO HANDS is being called “The Gentle Giant” of Massage in that it is both immensely powerful and yet gentle at the same time. In this, it bridges the gap between Eastern and Western approaches to touch.

It achieves this because the whole weight of the therapist‘s body is used through the very soft surfaces of the forearm. This amount of depth is impossible with traditional massage techniques without damaging the therapist’s hands. With NO HANDS you know that no matter how deep or how powerful the Massage, your therapist remains in good health.

Having a practitioner gently and expertly lean their whole weight on you through their forearms is a feeling that is almost impossible to describe, which is why we invite you to…

Take time out... and Just feel it.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a form of complementary therapy that is both natural and gentle. It combines pressure and massage to stimulate reflexes in the feet, hands, face and ears that correspond to systems and structures in the body.

Reflexology is based on the principle that, by stimulating or applying pressure to these points, you aid in increasing circulation and promoting homeostasis in the body.

Reflexology aims to balance the internal systems of the body by helping to eliminate toxins, balance emotions, restore circulation throughout the physical body, help in lowering blood pressure, oedema and lymphatic imbalances and increasing circulation in the brain.

It can improve concentration and aid with insomnia as well as reducing stress and anxiety levels to induce deep relaxation, sleep and overall bring a feeling of health and well-being back to ones life.
