THAI MASSAGE

traditional thai massage is a 2500 year old technique for relaxing the body and quietening the mind. it can help relieve many physical problems such as back pain, tense shoulders and neck, stiffness, poor posture, indigestion and sciatica as well as more mental problems like stress and lethargy.

the basic form of massage is performed on a mat on the floor. the technique involves putting gentle but firm pressure on the body with the palms and thumbs, as well as relaxing, stretching of the limbs and back. in this way it works effectively on skin, muscle, the organs and the skeletal structure. blood and lymph circulation are increased and toxins are removed from tissues

FOOT MASSAGE

the foot massage benefits the whole body. the foot has thousands of nerve endings which are stimulated during a massage. it is believed that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that reflexology assists the self healing process.

The foot massage works the lower legs and feet with stretching and compression to ‘open’ energy lines. a stick is used to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body thus resulting in general health and well being. according to the chinese medicine, the sensory nerves of the internal organs that spread throughout the body are mainly gathered around the soles of the feet.

ALOE VERA MASSAGE

aloe vera has been used for centuries due to the beneficial effect it has on the skin. it is said to encourage skin rejuvenation, healing wounds and treatment of sunburn. it can also be used to help in relieving arthritis pain, improving blood circulation, reducing scaring, and has anti- inflammatory properties.

It has been known for generations as a excellent plant to have around to help reduce inflammation, pain and itching, to accelerate wound healing, a superb penetrating moisturising agent, helping to stimulate the body’s immune system with being naturally hypoallergenic with about the same ph balance of the skin.

aloe vera massage oil has great healing qualities which makes it a good choice to use on it’s own, or to include when mixing a massage oil or preparing a carrier oil blend for aromatherapy massage.

HERBALL BALL MASSAGE

Why not try a thai herbal ball treatment.

Inspired by the ancient rituals of thailand, thai herbal massage incorporates heated herbal compresses with traditional thai massage performed on a thai mat.

The thai herbs used are anti-inflammatory, local analgesics and muscle relaxants. The hot herbal compresses improve range and motion and increase local circulation.

By warming the tissues first with medical herbs, we ease residual tension in the muscles and give a boost to the body’s energy level. The herbs induce deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Working pressure points we stimulate free the flow of energy and balance the mind and spirit.
