SWEDISH / HOLISTIC MASSAGE
Swedish massage is designed to increase circulation, soothe muscles and improve relaxation. It uses five main techniques; stroking and gliding, kneading, rubbing, tapping or pounding, and vibration. It helps to stimulate the skin and nervous system while exercising the ligaments and tendons to keep them supple. This process can be incredibly relaxing and reduces both emotional, and physical stress.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE
Lymphatic drainage massage uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of lymph which reduce toxins in your body. The lymph system is part of your body’s immune system which helps fight infection. This massage is targeted to specific areas relating to this integral system and is known to be very relaxing. This treatment focuses on the face, neck, arms, stomach and legs.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports massage includes the manipulation of muscles to support people with physically demanding lifestyles. Sports massage is perfect for those training for a specific sport, event or hobby, as well as those with injuries in need of rehabilitation and recovery. This kind of therapeutic massage considers the impact of certain activities on specific joints, muscle groups, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue groups.
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an alternative medical practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and hands. This is done using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques. It works to improve the nerve functions and can relieve pressure in the body.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Myofascial release focuses on releasing tension and tightness in the fascia, (connective tissue that supports muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body). It aims to alleviate pain and improve range of motion by targeting specific areas of fascial restrictions. Our therapists apply gentle, sustained pressure and stretches to the fascia to manipulate and release tension. The pressure applied is typically sustained for a longer duration compared to traditional massage techniques.
PASSIVE STRETCHING
Passive stretching uses the therapists force rather than your own ability to increase flexibility, aid mobility and ease pain. Your muscles need to be relaxed during the session and your therapist will guide you through to get the maximum benefit.
CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Cupping can be considered a type of deep-tissue massage which offers many benefits, including pain relief, reduced inflammation, increased blood flow, relaxation and improved wellbeing.
THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Thai Yoga Massage uses an energy line system—the Ten Sen—through which the body’s natural life force flows. Blockages in this life force cause aches, pains and disease. The therapist uses hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure to important points on the energy lines, together with gentle stretching and applied Hatha Yoga. This releases blocked energy and frees the body’s healing potential, restoring balance and harmony.
AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy uses essential oils for therapeutic benefit. It uses the sensory system to add extra relaxation and pleasure through essential oils and fragrance. Specific oils can be used for certain benefits such as energising or calming effects. Experience the wellness ESPA range of oils and enjoy a full body massage that will ignite your senses.
FULL BODY HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy used to induce relaxation to ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body. During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body and used to massage tight and sore muscles.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage is used to ease inflammation and physically break down muscle knots or adhesions, as well as bands of painful and rigid tissue that can disrupt circulation, cause pain or limit the range of motion. At the beginning of the massage, lighter pressure is applied to warm up the muscles and as the massage continues you will notice techniques that are designed to stimulate the fibres of the muscle with long gliding strokes and more focussed areas of deep pressure.
ANTI-CELLULITE & LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE SCRUB
Our signature anti-cellulite and lympathic drainage scrub massage is ideal for pre-holiday, pre-tanning or as an ongoing health benefit. You’ll leave with noticeably smoother and nourished skin through massage and lymphatic drainage techniques.
