Specialised Massage Treatments

Mother to Be

Let us assist you to be comfortable all the way through your pregnancy. We will give special attention to where you are experiencing pain or discomfort, so you will go out feeling relaxed and refreshed.

During pregnancy, your body goes through major changes. Pregnancy massage can help with these changes by reducing stress, decreasing arm and leg swelling, and relieving muscle and joint pain. Massage may be particularly helpful during a time when medication and other medical options may be more limited. Using specially designed massage pillows, the massage therapist will help get you into a comfortable position for this type of massage.

Derma Ray Lymphatic Massage

This massage treatment uses the cold laser to relieve pain, arthritis, or any injuries. Also this treatment is ideal for post - surgery. This is a light massage which will cleanse the lymphatic system in the body. The derma ray machine can be incorporated in a body massage to remove a block when a deep tissue massage cannot be tolerated..

Hot stones

For this kind of massage, the therapist places warmed stones on certain areas of the body, such as acupressure points. The stones may be used as massage tools or be temporarily left in place.

Used along with other massage techniques, hot stones can be quite soothing and relaxing as they transmit heat deep into the body. The thermic heat from the volcanic stones penetrates to the core of the muscle tissue, providing deep muscle relaxation and giving you freedom to move freely again.
