Classic Treatments

Swedish Massage

A gentle yet effective full-body massage that uses long, flowing strokes to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and improve circulation. Swedish massage uses methods such as rhythmic tapping and kneading and is often combined with the use of high quality lotions or oils. Swedish massage is perfect for first-time clients and those seeking stress relief, both physically and mentally.

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage targets chronic muscle tension using slow, deliberate strokes and deep pressure to release knots and adhesions in deeper muscle layers. By working these deeper muscle fibres, we can help to release toxins, increase blood flow and promote targeted healing in areas affected by injury or reduced movement. This treatment is ideal for chronic pain, limited mobility and recovery from injury.

Sports Massage

A sports massage is specifically designed for athletes and individuals who lead active lifestyles. Sports massage treatment combines various techniques such as targeted stretching and compression to enhance performance, prevent injuries and speed up recovery time. Some of the most common injuries that benefit from a sports massage are back pain, neck pain, runners knee and tennis elbow.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, boost immunity and eliminate toxins. This technique is particularly effective for individuals who suffer with lymphoedema, as the treatment can reduce fluid retention and improve overall circulation. MLD focuses on the lymphatic system rather than muscle groups, making it a highly therapeutic massage experience.

Specialty Treatments

Hot Lava Shells Massage

Experience deep relaxation as smooth, heated lava shells glide across your body, melting away tension and providing deep relief. The shells are filled with a mineral heat mixture, allowing them to retain the perfect temperature for longer than traditional hot stones. The shells’ natural heat penetrates muscles to provide lasting relief and improved circulation by releasing knots and promoting a sense of calm and serenity, making this technique perfect for those looking to unwind and achieve relaxation.

Cupping Therapy 

Cupping therapy is a traditional and ancient technique using suction cups to create negative pressure, helping to release fascial restrictions, increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation. Excellent for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and muscle tension, cupping therapy has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine. Cupping therapy offers both physical relaxation and a sense of calm, promoting overall wellbeing and improving your mental state.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is used to enhance your massage experience with carefully selected essential oils that promote relaxation, energy, or emotional balance while enjoying their therapeutic benefits through both touch and scent. These oils, such as lavender, eucalyptus or peppermint, can have a profound effect on mood, energy levels and respiratory relief. This gentle, non-invasive technique can be used in combination with other massage techniques to create a personalised treatment that promotes overall wellness.

Anti-Cellulite Massage

A specialised treatment combining deep tissue techniques with specific movements to improve circulation, reduce the appearance of cellulite and promote lymphatic drainage in targeted areas. This technique is typically used for individuals looking to reduce the visible cellulite that can become prominent on the body, typically around the thighs, buttocks and hips.
