Treatments Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage increases the oxygen flow in the blood and releases toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing body tissues of lactic and uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. Aside from increasing circulation to the heart without increasing heart load, it stretches ligaments and tendons making them more supple and pliable. Through particular techniques, Swedish Massage is also known to stimulate the skin and nervous system to reduce emotional and physical stress and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. Other benefits include aid with correct posture, improve muscle tone, reduces pain by releasing endorphins and regular massage can help to strengthen immunity.

Reflexology

Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet (and hands) corresponding to all the parts of the body including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect internal organs and body systems, and therefore promote good health. The therapist stimulates and works these organs and systems through the reflexes areas on the hands and feet, applying pressure to the feet with thumb and fingers. Pressure is applied to clear out congestion and restore normal functioning and health
