Relaxing holistic massage therapy
Be mellow, relax and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of a massage treatment from an experienced ITEC qualified complementary therapist. Dedicated to your health and wellbeing, Mellow's Therapeutic massage uses effleurage, petrissage, tapping and friction.
Every massage is individually tailored to your need, massage sessions can serve purely relaxation purposes or they can focus on specific muscular pains and body aches. The massage techniques involve using fingertips, knuckles, hands, elbows, and forearms.
Aromatherapy and massage treatments have both physiological and psychological healing properties. The combination of massage therapy and the medicinal and therapeutic qualities of the different essential oils both inhaled and absorbed through the skin can soothe, revitalise, uplift the spirit, encourage positive thinking and boost the immune system enabling the body to heal itself.
A number of essential oil choices are available, thanks to the naturally anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxer and stress reducer properties of lemongrass -and of course lovely scent, it is the most popular choice when it comes to essential oils.
