Those
who are looking for
relaxation and stress relief, or who have other stress-related symtoms such as insomnia, anxiety, tension headaches or migraines will be interested in an aromatherapy massage. Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils derived from plants known for their
healing and pain relieving properties. Essential oils used during an aromatherapy treatment are specially selected following an
initial consultation to discuss your needs. We also offer deluxe aromatherpy treatments using pre-blended oils that combine essential oils with homeopathic
ingredients to synergise and create powerful treatment oils, which
enhance and re-balance health and well-being.
Benefits and Effects
An aromatherapy massage can lead to the
physical relaxation of muscles, thereby easing muscular tension. This
in turn can assist stress relief and relieve other tension related
problems such as headaches, anxiety, insomnia, nervous stomach etc. Aromatherapy is more of a relaxing massage when compared to sports and remedial massage with slower and lighter massage strokes used throughout the treatment.
The physical
relaxation of muscles, whether induced for pleasure or the treatment of
pain can enhance blood flow, thereby accelerating physical repair and
the restoration of normal function.
What to Expect During an Aromatherapy Treatment
Before an aromatherapy massage commences you
will be asked to complete a consent form in order
to check for contra-indications and allow the therapist
to deliver a safe and effective treatment. A medical and surgical
history will also be taken in addition to questioning regarding your
current health and your current injuries or symptoms (if any). This
information also helps to ascertain the most effective course of
treatment.
After
the initial discussion and record taking you will be required to remove
some or all all of your outer clothing depending on whether you are
having a full body or back, neck and shoulder massage. If you are having a full body treatment
this will include a facial massage and a stomach massage, but this is completely
optional and will be discussed with you before the treatment begins.
The therapist will leave the room
while you undress to your underwear. You will be provided with towels
to preserve your modesty and once on the massage couch your whole body
will be covered in towels. The only body part that will be exposed is
the body part that the massage therapist is working on.
