Massage for Men and women

by Webmaster on November 22, 2010

We offer a selection of massages for men and women with the use of essential oils to suit the client’s needs. These can extend to aroma blends that can help address life conditions such as stress, congestion and digestive troubles.

Classic Massage for Men and women

This massage is a therapy massage that utilizes highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils. These essentials oils are the extracts of plants and their parts and form their life force. They are extracted by the means of steam distillation, cold expression, or fixed oil or alcohol extraction. These oils affect our mood. They enter through our olfactory system and affect the nervous system, thus improving mood, relaxation and energizing us.

Hot Stones Massage for Men and women

Hot stones therapy

With origins in Native American culture, warm and cool smooth stones, lubricated with massage oils, are used to gently massage the man’s body, enhancing the level of relaxation and providing relief to tense and aching muscles. Aroma hot stone massage, a customised blending of therapeutic grade essential oils, used in conjunction with stone massage, creates a deeper lever of relaxation. Oils are selected to increase the benefits of your hot stone massage treatment.

Indian Head Massage for Men and women

Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. It provides Indian families with relaxation and healing on a daily basis, as well as playing a part in rituals such as weddings and births, not to mention everyday events like a trip to the Barbers.

Sports Massage for Men and women

Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recovery after a big event or to function well during training. Sports massage emphasizes prevention and the healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons. But you don’t have to be in the Olympics to benefit from sports massage. Sports massage is also good for men with injuries, chronic pain or a restricted range of motion.

Thai Herbal Compress

The hot Thai compresses provide the same stimulation as acupressure and are used to stimulate tender or sensitive areas that cannot be massaged directly. For example, your back may be too painful for direct acupressure. However, hot Thai herbal compresses on the same points during a Thai Herbal massage will provide similar benefits.

The Thai herbal compress comprises many different medicinal herbs, each with their own unique properties. Typical blends include camphor, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, turmeric, tamarind amongst other herbs and spices. These herbs are wrapped in a muslin ball and heated with steam. The compress is then applied to the body using specialised and distinct movements. The Thai massage is finished off with lymphatic drainage, using massage oils.

Traditional Thai massage for inflammation

Traditional Thai massage is most commonly used to treat inflammation resulting from muscle and joint pain, injuries or imbalances. However, Thai massage is not limited to the muscular-skeletal system. Thai massage can help with all the systems of the body allowing ‘whole body’ healing.

The herbal compress promotes further healing as the Thai herbs typically used offer many healing properties to the mind, body and soul.

The Thai Herbal Massage takes approximately 70 minutes.
