Other Therapies


Swedish Massage


Swedish Massage is reputed to be the first in a now large range of massage treatments. The initial therapists and their work went on to become the ‘Physiotherapy’ now practiced in most medical institutions.
This massage therapy works on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues (muscle, ligaments, skin) to leave you feeling relaxed, invigorated and stress-free. Using firm massage movements and varying pressure the various systems in your body (circulation, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine) are stimulated leaving you with an overall feeling of well-being. The therapy can easily be tailored to your individual requirements and is an excellent treatment for many stress and tension related problems.

Indian Head Massage


Practiced in the East for over 1000 years this therapeutic treatment, known as
’Champissage’, is still offered in most Eastern hairdressers and barbers today. This relaxing, stimulating and tension relieving therapy is now very popular in the West.

As the treatment is carried out with the client fully clothed and with only the therapist and a comfortable chair required, it can be carried out almost anywhere. It is an excellent way of unwinding in your lunch hour, revitalising yourself after a hectic day or just taking time out for yourself.

The treatment is centred on the upper back, shoulders, neck head and face. No oils need to be used, but there are various oils which can be used on the hair to encourage healthy, shiny hair.

Thermal Auricular Therapy (Ear Candling)

‘Ear Candling’, this fascinating therapy has many benefits including:

  • Relief from sinus problems
  • Improved breathing & hearing
  • Stimulates the circulation
  • Relief from pain/pressure when flying

Thought to have been practiced for centuries by the ancient Greeks and American Indians, this therapy not only has many therapeutic benefits but is also very relaxing and is suitable for all ages, including children.
