ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES
Hot stone
Hot stone massage therapy involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The therapist places the stones on specific points on your body and may also hold heated stones while giving the Relaxation massage. The localised heat and weight of these volcanic basalt stones warm up and relax muscles, allowing the therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas, without causing discomfort, to melt away tension, increase circulation and metabolism.
reflexology
Unlike a simple foot massage, in foot reflexology pressure is applied to specific reflex points on the foot. These points correspond to organs and areas of the body. The treatment is said to induce a healing response, even alleviating some ailments. It is said to stimulate nerve functions that help your body increase your energy levels, circulation, central nervous system, prevent migraines, clear urinary infections, sleep disorders and depression. Reflexology is one of the most popular types of massage. Afterwards you will feel like you are walking on air.
Lymphatic Drainage
