Therapies are one of the four core pillars of wellness at X-Club, playing a vital role in both rehabilitation and long-term wellbeing. Our massage treatments are designed not only to support recovery from training, but also to restore balance, reduce stress, and enhance overall performance.
Massage is a powerful tool to unlock the body’s natural healing process and transform your mental state. Whether you need Deep Tissue Massage to relieve muscular tension, Lymphatic Drainage to reduce inflammation, Percussion Therapy to aid recovery, Pressure Point work to release stored stress, or Aromatherapy to calm the nervous system, each treatment is tailored to help you feel renewed, restored, and ready to move forward.
RELAX, REFRESH AND REJUVENATE WITH MASSAGE
OUR MASSAGE SERVICES
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.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Prenatal massage uses gentle sweeping strokes and acupressure techniques, with a focus on tense and pressured muscles caused by hormonal and bodily changes. Pregnancy Massage is a great way to reduce fluid build up, promote good relaxation and sleep to support your muscles through the effects of pregnancy. *Only suitable for women in the second and third trimester of their pregnancy.
PASSIVE / ASSISTED 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.
ENERGETIC FACELIFT
Revitalise your spirit and appearance with our Energetic Facelift without the negative side effects of chemicals or toxic filers. This transformative treatment uses energy to refresh and rejuvenate your face and body, reducing signs of stress and aging, and leaving you radiant with divine vitality.
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.
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.
WARM BAMBOO MASSAGE
Experience the deep relaxation of a warm bamboo massage, which uses natural bamboo shoots to increase circulation and ease muscle tension. The sticks are gently warmed and applied to give deep and long massage strokes to break down tension and stretch tight muscles. An incredibly awakening sensation which will support ease of movement through holistic technique.
