Myofascial Massage
The body contains Fascia which is a connective tissue. It is strong and wraps around and protects every structure in your body. However it can get tight and this tightness causes restrictions and at times pain. This treatment allows the Therapist to stretch and loosen the fascia, helping with muscle tightness and improving mobility and reducing pain. NOTE, It does not feel like your average massage, in that no oil is used. The techniques require the therapist to lift and hold the area, using sustained pressure to allow the fascia to soften. These holds can take many minutes to feel a shift in the tissues. However it is relaxing and many patients report feeling a deep sense of release after a treatment due to its effectiveness in breaking down adhesions and allowing blood to flow to tight areas of the body. A must try!
50 Mins - £75
Lava Shell Massage
Lava shells are heated by single-use disposable sachets. The therapist inserts a sachet of algae, minerals and dried sea kelp into the shell, then adds an activator liquid. The chemical reaction between the activator and the “lava gel” sachet creates heat that can last up to a couple of hours.
The therapist will begin the treatment with an application of massage oil to help make the strokes smoother. She will then press the heated Lava Shells onto key points of your body to relax your muscles, before using the smooth part of the shells to massage your torso and limbs.
The therapist uses different areas of the Lava Shells to complement particular massage strokes. The knob on the back of the shell can be used to work away at tight knots. The smooth surface of the shell is ideal for applying gentle pressure to calves and arms, and you might feel the therapist using the narrow edge of the Lava Shell to work around tense shoulder blades or between your toes.

Hot Stone Massage
A hot stone massage is beneficial in helping you relax and ease tense muscles throughout your body.

Hot stone Massage 1hr £80
Therapeutic/Clinical/Relaxing.
Therapeutic Massage is a combination of Relaxation Massage and Remedial Massage to not only relax your whole body but at the same time, work through some of the muscle issues or “tight spots” you may be experiencing.
Massage therapy may also improve your circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells and helps remove waste products or reduce swelling. These circulatory effects of massage may have value in the treatment of some inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
Massage therapy induces a relaxation response, which lowers your heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure; plus boosts your immune system; and generally decreases the physical effects of stress.

Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage or MLD is a light touch therapy, it sits within the Massage category as it is hands on, but because you are encouraging the free movement of Lymph that sits towards the surface of the skin, no deep pressure is applied. There's a specific sequence to lymphatic massage, its light pulsing techniques encourage Lymph nodes to drain, like emptying a glass so you can refill it again.
It is rhythmical and soothing.
It is thought that anyone wanting an overall immune boost would benefit, it can be used safely post surgery, cosmetic or otherwise and is often recommended by medical professionals.
Those suffering with water retention (oedema) digestive issues, and swelling could benefit. People explain they feel lighter and more energised after a session.
if you are undergoing medical care, particularly for Cancer treatment this method can be used but will need to be approved by a Consultant
