Massage Benefits

Trying to keep up with everyday life can take a toll on our mental well-being. From work to family commitments, we often find ourselves overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. To help manage these feelings, you can benefit from our Massage sessions every 4-6 weeks.

By deeply calming the body and mind, this therapy can help reduce muscle tension, release built-up stress, and combat your anxiety. Getting one massage every few months won’t produce the same results as regular treatments. If you want to see real improvements in your pain, tension, stress, and overall well-being, you need to come in for regular massage therapy sessions.

And while receiving a massage every week or two might be ideal for some people, it might not be realistic for others.

If you’ve been feeling like your daily skincare routine is simply not fighting off those clogged pores, you’ll love the effects of regular facials. Facials are sometimes overlooked, but it can be one of the best things to do for your skin’s health. Not only does it feel good, but you’ll find that it can reduce wrinkles, unclog your pores, and give you that healthy glow you wish you had. A monthly facial is a good starting point for your treatment plan.

We use a range of Neal’s Yard Remedies products and hand selected small business beauty and skin care brands that are vegan, organic and cruelty free.

You cannot get a massage if you have these conditions because massage could cause these conditions to flare up making your problem worse. Here are the conditions that fall into these category;

Fever

Anytime you have a fever, whether from a cold, the flu or some other infection, you should not get a massage. Massage increases circulation that may in turn help the infection increase the severity of the fever and the infection.

Contagious Diseases

If you have a contagious disease you are putting your therapist and even your therapist’s other clients at risk of getting it. Please be considerate to your therapist and cancel your massage if you come down with a contagious condition.

Blood Clots

Massage can loosen blood clots. This could be dangerous because the clot could migrate to the brain, lungs or heart. If you are aware of any blood clots, consult your doctor before massage to make sure that it will not be effected by massage therapy.

Pregnancy

I am not currently trained in prenatal massage and therefor unable to carry out treatments for pregnant women.

Kidney Conditions or Liver Conditions

Massage can put increased strain on both the liver and kidney if they are not functioning normally. This occurs because massage increases blood flow, increasing the movement of waste through the body. If you are experiencing a health problem with either your kidney or liver it is likely that massage will not be appropriate for you. Talk to a health care professional to see if massage will aggravate any kidney or liver condition.

Cancer

Though massage is good at relieving some of the discomfort caused by cancer, it should only be given by someone trained to work with cancer patients. The patient should obtain a release form from his/her doctor to get treatment.

Inflammation

If you have inflammation of any kind massage to the area will further aggravate the situation.

Uncontrolled Hypertension

Massage increases blood flow. If you have high blood pressure that is not under control, the increased blood flow that is a result of massage therapy may cause problems.
