Our Treatments

  • ACUPUNCTURE

    Acupuncture is a form of Ancient Chinese medicine, which regards pain and illness, whether physical or mental, as a sign that the body is out of balance. This imbalance occurs when the body’s ‘Qi (‘life force’ or ‘vital energy’) cannot flow freely because the energy meridians have become blocked due to any number of reasons, such as emotional or physical trauma, poor nutrition, infection or injury. By inserting fine needles into specific points, your acupuncturist will seek to re-establish the free flow of Qi to restore balance and trigger the body’s healing response.

    Acupuncture is an extremely gentle and safe treatment that can be used to treat a wide range of health conditions.

  • ACUPRESSURE

    Acupressure uses the same points and meridians as Acupuncture, but instead of needles, gentle or firm pressure is applied with fingers, thumbs and/or knuckles, in order to stimulate the body's energy flow and encourage its natural, self-curative abilities. Stimulation of the body's meridian system by touch is perhaps one of the oldest healing systems: acupressure techniques can be found in many other healing therapies such as Qiqong, Shiatsu and Tuina.

  • AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

    Aromatherapy combines the physical and emotional effects of massage with the therapeutic benefits of plant essences. Your therapist will mix a specific blend of oils according to your needs, aliments and/or emotional state and will massage these into the skin with soothing movements to ease away any stress or tension.

    Aromatherapy oils have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits for the body and mind.

  • NATUROPATHY

    A method of healing that uses various natural means to enable an individual to achieve and maintain the highest possible level of health. Naturopathy is based on principles which focus on the person’s health as a whole, not just the individual symptons. It gives the individual tools to heal themselves and help identify and treat the cause of illness. In addition to providing recommendations on lifestyle, diet and exercise, naturopaths may also employ tools such as herbal medicine, nutritional advice and iridology (the study of the eye/iris to determine a patient’s health).

  • DEEP TISSUE/REMEDIAL MASSAGE

    Based on many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, a Deep Tissue treatment will focus on the deeper layers of the muscle tissues with a more intense pressure. Your therapist will use hands, forearms and/or finger, thumb and elbow pressure to work deep into the muscles and release chronic patterns of tension. Remedial massage works on a further level by applying more specialised techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release and Muscle Energy Technique to treat a range of injuries and ailments. Deep Tissue and/or Remedial Massage can be especially helpful for those with repetitive strain injuries, stiff necks and shoulders or people experiencing lower back pain.

  • INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

    Based on ancient Ayurvedic massage techniques, Indian Head massage includes pressure and friction to the upper back, neck, arms, head and face. The massage is given with the client fully clothed and seated on a regular type of chair. Your therapist will work on unlocking upper body tension and soothing the mind with a relaxing but invigorating head and scalp massage. This treatment is particularly beneficial for people suffering from shoulder/neck tension and headaches/migraines. Your therapist can also add oils to the scalp massage, which can be extremely nourishing for your hair, please ask if you would like this to be included in your treatment.

  • LOMI LOMI MASSAGE

  • REIKI

    An ancient form of healing originating from Japan; its translation means ‘Universal Life Force’ and refers to the universal energy that animates all living things. Reiki works by recharging the body’s energy levels by opening up the energy channels and allowing the body and mind to be brought back to balance.

A relaxing, gentle treatment that can help ease emotional trauma and physical aliments and promotes inner calm.

  • REFLEXOLOGY

Your therapist will work across the feet with finger, thumb or knuckle pressure with the intention of locating any areas of tension or congestion. Depending on these observations and any health issues/problems you have been experiencing, your therapist will then rework specific areas corresponding to any relevant organs or body systems that will help alleviate your symptoms and bring the body back to balance. Reflexology is a blissfully relaxing treatment that can benefit those with busy and stressful lives.

  • SWEDISH MASSAGE

Pressure can be tailored according to your needs, please ask your therapist for your specific requirements.

  • SPORTS MASSAGE

    Designed for athletes but useful for anyone experiencing injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion, Sports Massage uses general and deep tissue manipulation with various forms of stretching to either prevent further injuries or to promote the recovery of present injuries and muscular pain. Like Deep Tissue/Remedial massage, your therapist will apply deep pressure and specialised techniques but will generally focus on a specific problem area i.e.: tender knees or a pulled hamstring from running.

    Following the treatment your therapist will offer guidance on posture, exercise and stretching techniques where appropriate, in order to further manage your injury/discomfort.

  • THAI FOOT MASSAGE
