Body Massage

	Body Massage Body massage is also commonly referred to as Swedish Massage, Holistic Massage or Therapeutic Massage. Whatever the term used to describe the treatment, a massage has both a stimulating and relaxing effect on the mind and body. For our body massage treatments we use high quality pre-blended massage oils of sweet almond and jojoba with the addition of 100% pure essential oils lavender, peppermint, rosemary and verbena. If you would prefer to have your massage using unscented oils or a different type of oil we have a variety of unscented carrier oils for use. If you would prefer to have oils blended especially for you then please see our page on aromatherapy. You will be given the option during an initial consultation which takes place prior to treatment. Benefits and Effects Body massage can help to relax muscles, improve skin and muscle tone, increase circulation and boost the elimination of waste products and toxins in the body. Like many other holistic treatments, body massage is particularly effective at tackling stress and other stress-related symptoms. What to Expect During a Body Massage Before all body massage treatments take place you will be required 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 massage or a back, neck and shoulders massage. The therapist will leave the room while you undress to your underwear and prepare for the massage. 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. With our body massage the full treatment does not include the face but it does include the stomach. If you would like to have a facial massage included please see our page on aromatherapy treatments where a facial massage is included with a full body massage.
