Indian
Head Massage
This
is an ideal introduction to body massage if you have not yet ventured
into complementary therapies and is easily fitted into a busy schedule.
Apart
from the de-stressing effect, oils can be incorporated into the Indian
Head Massage to stimulate hair growth and improve its condition.
The
client remains clothed and seated in a chair, whilst the therapist
commences on the upper back and works towards the neck, scalp and
finishing on the face. This promotes stimulation of the circulation,
relaxes and soothes away tension but retains alertness.
Headache
& migraine sufferers may find this particular therapy beneficial.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a
safe and relaxing treatment that involves applying pressure to points on
the feet or hands to prevent and treat mental, physical and emotional
problems.
It
is based on the discovery that there are points on the feet and hands
which correspond to organs, systems and structures within the body. This
relationship is called a ‘reflex’, which is when, by using special
pressure techniques to stimulate points on the feet, imbalances in the
tissues, organs and systems of the body can be detected and effectively
treated to restore balance and well-being.
It
is especially good for:-
 |
stress
related problems |
