Reflexology

Reflexology is a gentle and relaxing treatment which is based on the principle that reflex points found on the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way the feet can be seen as a 'map' of the body. By stimulating these reflex points through massage, a natural response to healing, by restoring energy & balance to the whole body can be achieved. Relief is generated by improving circulatory, neurological & lymphatic systems, and in turn can improve digestive, hormonal and stress related conditions, and many more.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is useful for anyone who suffers with muscular tension and is a useful adjunct to Osteopathic treatment. It is particularly suitable for runners, triathletes or anyone who regularly partakes in sports and exercise.

 

Muscular tension is often a precursor to other injuries. Your body will compensate for initial problems by altering your posture and gait to reduce the tensions through the body. This will continue to happen until your body can no longer cope and acute injury ensues.

 

Increasing blood flow through the tissues can improve the recovery process allowing the athlete to train more effectively and safely.

Reiki hands-on healing

"Reiki" (pron. ray - key) is a Japanese word meaning "universal life energy," the energy found in all things. The Usui System of Reiki Healing applies this energy through gentle touch for the purpose of healing.

 

Reiki can bring relaxation to stressed muscles, decrease pain, accelerate the healing time of bones and wounds, diminish the tissue involvement of burns and bruises, and much more.

Anxiety may be reduced and a sense of well-being increased and another level of relaxation can be felt. At this degree of deep relaxation, a rebalancing of energies can occur and the natural healing ability of the body is enhanced.

Each Reiki treatment (lasts one hour) £35.00
