What is relaxation therapy?
Our relaxation therapy includes chakra balancing with our own essential oil blends and a chakra crystal sound bath with a chakra meditation. This is a specialist massage using reiki and custom massage techniques to soothe and heal the body.
How does relaxation therapy work?
Your spa therapist will begin with a traditional Swedish massage technique to prepare your muscles. Your spa therapist will then do an indian head massage to relax with aromatherapy warm oil (our best selling product) or warm water if you prefer.
Our holistic massage encourages you to go within your body and feel.
Physical Benefits Holistic massage can alleviate physical ailments like back pain, arthritis, and insomnia. It also improves circulation, joint mobility, nervous function, muscle relaxation, flexibility, and skin elasticity.
Mental Benefits Holistic massage reduces stress and anxiety, improves mood, and helps with depression. It combats the fight-or-flight response by releasing endorphins (feel-good hormones) and lowering cortisol (the stress hormone).
Emotional Benefits Holistic massage enhances mind-body awareness and emotional release. It facilitates recovery by helping the body switch between the sympathetic and autonomic nervous systems.
Allow plenty of time for your relaxation therapy treatment; arrive 10 minutes early to allow yourself time to relax and build in an extra 10 mins to relax on the table. If it is your first time at the spa you’ll be asked to complete a pre-treatment health questionnaire. Avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking alcohol prior to the treatment.
The origins of chakra therapy originated in India between 1500 or 500 BC. The word chakra is Sanskrit for "disk" or "wheel" and refers to energy centers in the body. The system is closely linked to yoga and Ayurveda, an ancient traditional medicine system over 2,000 years ago, see more on our blog.
