Massage service in Wiltshire and the surrounding counties.

Did you know that massage is recorded as one of the earliest forms of physical therapy and it is known that it was used by very different cultures well over 3000 years ago? To rub your sore muscle or stroke another in comfort is a natural human instinct; and the "laying on of hands" has been strongly valued among spiritual and healing traditions throughout history.
I'm a great believer and interested in massage as a therapy and so have become adept in the following massages as I feel they offer a comprehensive range of therapies that have an holistic effect on the individual treated, healing both mind and body.

I offer the following Massage Therapies:-

Sports Massage - this shares some of the aims of other massages but is underpinned by a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. Sports Massage, applied skillfully, is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo-skeletal system and hence body and mind. A Sports Massage is one I really enjoy myself as repeated treatments lessen the chance of injury by sprain or torn ligaments and muscles. This is because the Sports Massage concentrates deeply on the muscles and penetrates relaxing and reviving and over a period of time can help condition muscles ready for exercise and so reduce the chance of injury.

Head Massage - also known as Indian Head Massage. This can be either a relaxing or invigorating massage with the overall effect creating balance and harmony in both body and mind. The treatment lasts 30mins.

Body Massage with Pre-Blended Oils - massage away the days tensions and re- balance, revitalize and relax with this ancient therapeutic treatment using pre-blended aromatic oils. This massage will leave you feeling ready to go!
for this massage we will sit down and discuss what massage or combination of massages would suit you the best to re-balance, revitalize and relax. This might entail a combination of the above massages to create you own personal revitalizing treatment.

Swedish Massage - designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones. Stress release is the main purpose of Swedish massage and this is achieved as the movements increase the oxygen flow in the blood which releases toxins from the muscles and so bring complete relaxation and revitalization. Enjoy and relax with a back, neck and shoulder swedish massage or a full body swedish massage.

Hot Stone Massage - this therapy has been used by many cultures for years and it probably originated from the Far East. Traditionally for a Hot Stone Massage river bed rocks were gently heated and placed on the patient along the energy centers of the body.
I carry on the tradition in Wiltshire but use smooth volcanic stones which release the heat energy slowly and evenly into the muscles making them extremely relaxed bringing you to a level of deepest relaxation. The heat also helps blood flow so toxins are released de-stressing the body and relieving the mind.
Stiff joints also benefit from the therapeutic qualities of heat so this treatment will help muscular aches, pains, strains, rheumatic and arthritic conditions. Because Hot Stone Massage also helps to improve circulation it can help reduce stress, anxiety, tension and even depression.

I hope you find the massage to suit you from the list I offer!
