What happens in a session?

Using small amount of balm on the hands the Therapist massages head, face, neck, upper back, finishing with the shoulders and arms. Relaxing music is played throughout the session.

How will I benefit?

Much emotional tension is held in the shoulders and neck. Sitting at a desk is not conducive to relaxation of these muscles. This in turn can cause head/neck/shoulder pain leading to fatigue and energy depletion.

Massage helps to relieve these tensions by dispersing toxins and improving circulation. The treatment helps to unblock sinuses by stimulating pressure points. Reported benefits include, headache relief, release of tension, enhanced sleep, feeling of refreshment and invigoration, stimulated hair re-growth.
