HOLISTIC MASSAGE
Holistic massage is a remedial massage, which encompasses effleurage, petrissage and friction and addresses various aspect of your person (medical history, current health, lifestyle and psychological state). It also takes into account energy, which is part of the healing process and flows inside your body. This energy known in China as Qi, in India as Prana and in Tibet as Lung permeates the physical body – the organs, muscles and glands.
Illness is believed to begin when the energy flow is disrupted, rather than the symptoms appear. If the energy remains unbalanced, illness will result. Good idea during winter!
During a healing massage, energy is transmitted from one person to another through the hands. This is a very relaxing massage.

SWEDISH MASSAGE
This is a more vigorous massage treatment designed to help restore function to aching or injured muscles, tendons and ligaments. Strokes are applied more vigorously and with more kneading and pressure applied at certain locations. It can be either relaxing or more energising.
£40 for 1 hour - £60 for 1.5 hours - £70 for 2 hours
SPORTS MASSAGE
This combines different massage techniques and stretching to enhance sports performance and recuperation. However unlike Swedish massage there is less emphasis on massaging all the muscles with smooth stroking technique. Instead we concentrate on working on the specific locations. There are also active and passive stretching techniques and Soft Tissue Release.
For example if you have a lower back pain, sports massage will relieve the discomfort and help you to walk again!
If you have a knee pain when running which stops you exercising, sports massage can help to put you back on track!
