Massage is a great way to unwind & feel well & truly pampered, having time devoted to you. If you are booking your first ever massage, we are sure you will find it an extremely soothing and pleasant, holistic experience. At the first consultation, we will take a detailed client history, so that your treatment can be tailored precisely to your individual needs. A treatment plan will then be discussed and agreed with you.
Most massage treatments involve removal of some clothing, but your modesty will be protected at all times with the use of towels draped over you as you lie in comfort upon a padded couch. Choose from : 30 MINUTES, 45, 60 OR 90 MINUTE treatments, dependent upon your time available. Indian Head Massage for example, gives you 30 minutes of head neck and shoulder massage from a seated position. Whilst full massage can be specifically on your back or a particular sports requirement. Pam Matter is our skilled Massage Therapist with over 15 years of experience.

Swedish MassageThis is the basic form of massage, involving stroking movements, as well as kneading and percussive techniques over fleshy, muscular parts of the body, with the aid of a base oil to reduce friction. It is therefore necessary to remove clothing (except underwear), but you will be kept warm & your modesty protected with the use of towels draped over you, as you relax upon a padded couch, listening to soft, calming music.
AromatherapyThis involves gentle massage, treating physical & psychological conditions with the use of essential oils, blended with a carrier oil, tailored to your individual needs. Blends for home use in the form of creams, or for use in the bath, or simply inhaled can also be purchased.
Sports MassageThis can be:
1. Pre-event massage(stimulative)
2. Post-event massage (relaxing)
3. Remedial massage (helping repair sore or damaged muscles)
4. Maintenance massage
Generally, sports massage is deeper & more vigorous than other types & helps improve sporting performance by aiding muscle recovery time between training sessions.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage MassageThis is a special type of very gentle massage, for people with oedema (swellings), often as a result of enforced lack of mobility, surgery or even long haul flights.
