Body Treatments

Deep Tissue Massage

This type of massage may help manage pain and increase a person’s range of motion.

Deep tissue massage may be a suitable option to treat sports injuries or chronic back pain. The technique is sometimes considered one type of therapeutic massage.

Hot Stone Massage

Relieves muscle pain and tension. Hot stone massage can relieve pain and tension in your muscles due to the combination of massage therapy and heat. Heat is often recommended as a way to treat achy muscles. Applying heat to an area of the body helps increase blood flow to that spot, which improves healing. Using heat on muscle knots before massaging the area can make those knots easier to soothe.

Reduces stress and anxiety. Both heat and massage help you relax, but massage takes it a step further. Pressure, like from a massage or a good hug, releases endorphins, which relax muscles, help you manage pain, and put you in a better mood.

Aroma Therapy

Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils to enhance physical and emotional health. It may help manage pain, ease digestion, boost relaxation, improve mood, and relieve menstrual symptoms, among other benefits.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Sometimes it’s called essential oil therapy.

Aromatherapy is thought of as both an art and a science. Recently, aromatherapy has gained more recognition in the fields of science and medicine.

Ayurvedic massage

Ayurvedic massage also known as abhyanga, employs holistic and integrative medicine principles used 3000 years ago in India, where it was first discovered. The main focus of this massage treatment is to balance out doshas within your body to achieve spiritual fulfilment and relaxation. It also helps to improve lymphatic drainage, release muscle tension and nourish the skin.

Doshas refer to the five elements which are earth, water, air, fire and space, practitioners believe that Ayurveda occurs naturally inside of us. These elements should be in perfect harmony within our bodies, however, due to many external and/or internal influences of modern life, the doshas become off balance in most of us..
