Aromatherapy Massage
Sweet smelling Aromatherapy Massages are available in beauty salons countrywide, but used correctly it is much more than a beauty treatment - it can be a versatile and powerful therapeutic process. There are over 300 essential oils that can be mixed into a synergistic blend to enhance the therapeutic effect. Some oils have antibacterial or anti-fungal effects, others help lift depression, or aid bodily functions.
The massage is gentle and very relaxing, so helping to release tense muscles, it encourages blood circulation, and the removal of toxins via the lymphatic system. There are many ailments that can be helped by
Aromatherapy - possibly due to the deeply relaxing euphoric state achieved causing the release of endorphins and other life enhancing chemicals into the brain and body. Stress and insomnia respond well to Aromatherapy, as do some minor skin complaints, muscle and joints aches, and high blood pressure. It also boosts the immune system.
What happens during a consultation?
A detailed personal history is taken, Aromatherapy will not normally require the physical examination.
Aromatherapy, like, Swedish Massage will require you to strip to your pants, in privacy, and cover yourself with a towel before laying on the massage couch. You may wear shorts if you wish to. More towels will be used to preserve modesty and only the part of the body being worked on will be exposed. The massage usually includes the abdomen, but will be excluded if not required. Buttocks will only be massaged if requested.
It is difficult to say how many sessions of massage you may require, most people have 4-6 sessions.
We have a very strong commitment to aftercare for our massage patients. With this in mind, after your course of treatment, you will be given an appointment for six weeks time for a check-up and 'tweeking' if required. The receptionist will then make an appointment for three or six months time for another precautionary check to sort out problems before they get chance to become serious again. (Rather like the six month check given by dentists). |
