Massage Techniques

Massage TreatmentsDeep tissue massages aim to relieve tension in the muscles located below the top muscles by unsticking the fibres of the muscles to release toxins and deeply held tension points. It often used to address chronic pain and sports injuries as it helps to release muscular congestion. Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to reduce pain, join stiffness and poor circulation. This technique involves effleurage (sliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction and vibration.

Reflexology massages are based on the idea that there are refleces in the hands and feet, and sometimes the ears, that correlate to every organ and gland in the body. So pressure is applied to the feet typically, in order to improve another particular part of the body, or just for overall wellness. Reiki treatments are a Japanese technique for relieving stress and promoting healing, based on the idea that life force is transferred via touch, bolstering one’s happiness and health.

Benefits of Spa Holidays

Spa holidayOne of the main benefits of a spa holiday is the reduction of stress and tension. Stress, while a direct factor in many conditions, whether high blood pressure or chronic migraines, can also be a root cause for depression, ulcers, eating disorders, heart disease, chronic fatigue, anxiety attacks, mood swings, sleep disturbance, colds and the flu, chronic pain and headaches, and so on.

On the other hand, by reducing stress not only will you be reducing your vulnerability to addictions such as comfort food or smoking, it can also improve your the functioning of your immune system, give you more energy and better concentration, increase your efficiency, help you sleep better, and reduce the likelihood of chronic pain and illnesses. Studies have shown that the use of spa treatments and going away on retreats improves physical and mental health, while reducing absenteeism from work and hospitalisations. Part of this is simply physical contact, which helps us relax, as well as give us a sense of being looked after.
