Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a powerful treatment that targets the head, shoulders, and
upper back. It is applied through the clothes in a seated position.
This massage relaxes both mind and body and is particularly beneficial to those who
work at a computer all day and suffer from headaches and muscular tension in the
shoulders and back.
Massaging the head increases the supply of oxygen and glucose to the brain, which
leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalised.
The many benefits of Indian Head Massage include improved skin and hair condition,
better concentration, and sounder sleep.
Indian Head Massage is an ancient therapy that has found great popularity in the
western world thanks to its highly effective stress relieving properties.

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is the most practised form of massage in western culture. It is a
full body treatment that uses a variety of classic strokes and techniques, focusing on
the back, shoulders, legs and feet.
Hypoallergenic oils are used to lubricate and moisturise the skin.
As well as producing a general feel good factor, Swedish massage has some
important physiological benefits. It is very effective in relieving joint stiffness and pain
and promoting suppleness in the muscles. The skin and nervous system are stimulated,
circulation is improved, and waste materials are flushed from the body. This is an
energising and relaxing massage.

Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage or Clinical Massage Therapy is the manipulation of body
tissues to produce a therapeutic effect. Orthopaedic conditions such as back pain,
arthritis, neck stiffness, frozen shoulder and knee injuries respond well to this form
of treatment.
A variety of techniques are employed to manage musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction,
including soft tissue release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilisation and muscle energy
techniques. Remedial Massage aids recovery and results in increased mobility and
decreased pain.
You don't have to have an injury to benefit from Remedial Massage. Prevention is
better than cure and a regular check up can enhance the performance of sports people
and helps anyone achieve optimum health.
