Providing full body relief, our skilled therapists combine traditional massage techniques with modern innovations to deliver the ultimate in relaxation, recalibrating the body and mind.
Our therapists are inspired to offer a unique mind and body relief, each intentionally choreographed movement contributes to softening of tension and working with precision and thoroughness to recalibrate your body and mind.
The precise utilisation of fascia muscle tools further facilitates physical relief, while a scalp massage slows your internal rhythms, encouraging the mind and body to reset into a state of deep relaxation.
Warmed Shiatsu stones act to expand blood vessels, encouraging blood flow and circulation throughout the body. The stones in conjunction with our massage sequence increase the therapeutic value as they work deep into the muscle, stimulating circulation to help rebalance and dissolve tension of both body and mind.
Swedish massage, also known as classic massage, is a popular form of therapeutic massage. It involves the use of various techniques to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. When combined with volcanic hot stones, the benefits of Swedish massage are enhanced ten fold.
It’s important to note that individual experiences may vary, and Swedish massage may not be suitable for everyone. If you have any specific health concerns or medical conditions, it’s best to consult with a qualified massage therapist or healthcare professional before receiving a Swedish massage.
Each person is different and experiences a variety of benefits from massage therapy. Commonly most people are extremely relaxed after a massage. It is normal to feel an increase in energy after your initial period of feeling extremely relaxed. Quality of sleep is often enhanced with Swedish massage. Depending on your reason for receiving massage therapy, some people are relieved of muscle aches and pains, reduced muscle tension and increased range of motion, which may last for days. You may also feel like your lighter, standing taller, have more energy and/or feel more productive. These results can last for several days.
No. Your comfort is our priority. Your massage therapist will explain that you will need to undress to your comfort level when they leave the therapy room. During your massage you do remain covered. Your therapist will only un-drape one area at a time, then re-drape that area before moving onto a new area. Our tables are dressed with sheets and a light weight feathered doona. The sheets and towels acts as a boundary line for you and the massage therapist. You will be able to feel where that sheet is draped and securely know that the sheet will not be pulled past that boundary line.
Although this type of massage is generally safe and beneficial for most people, there are certain situations where it may not be appropriate or advisable.
