De-stress and Energise Days “finding the balance”
MASSAGE(tips for self-massage and easy techniques for de-stressing family/friends)
Indian Head Massage is deeply relaxing, yet leaves you feeling refreshed and energised; this calming soothing treatment helps to relieve tension in your neck and shoulders. It can help those suffering from headaches, eyestrain and mental fatigue & is performed directly onto skin or over clothing if preferred.
Indonesian or Balinese Massage derives from the spice islands of Indonesia. It is a unique Eastern style of body massage that works along the body’s meridian energy lines to clear and restore healthy flow of ‘qi’ to bring balance, improved energy and a sense of well-being to mind, body and spirit. Unlike Western forms of massage, deep tissue and acupressure techniques are used to help strip the muscles of tension, ease joint discomfort and stimulate healthy organ functioning and the release of toxins. The whole body is treated, including some colonic moves to encourage healthy functioning. It is an excellent treatment for those who enjoy a firm massage, but not suitable for anyone who is pregnant. Many find it effective at recharging the batteries and restoring balance as it can refresh and lift spirits (particularly useful for those affected by SAD and generally feeling run down).
Holistic Body Massage is a very effective and enjoyable way to manage and relieve stress and tension in our lives. Not only does the treatment stimulate circulation of nutrients and removal of toxins throughout the body to improve skin condition and tone, it also encourages the body to release ‘endorphins’ - the body’s natural feel good hormones. It is an effective way to find relief from tension, discomfort and fatigue that builds up from everyday life – poor posture, repetitive movements and even just how we react to stress in our mind and thought patterns which often results in our muscles holding tension. Having regular massages, whether focused just on back, neck and shoulders to relieve specific tension or by enjoying a full body massage is an effective way to cope with stress and helps you to ‘feel really good’.
