Fortifying Massages
Reflexology is based on the theory that points on the bottom of the feet are energetically connected to specific areas of the body. By stimulating these points the corresponding body parts are benefited. Reflexology neutralizes the effects of stress by inducing a deep state of relaxation that calms the nervous system and allows the body to achieve a state of equilibrium
Sports MassageThe primary purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which build up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. This treatment is not just for the sports person: anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs.
Sports massage tends to be deeper and more intense. It is based on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu. The skilled therapist brings together this blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, to work effectively with the client to bring about optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimize post event injuries.
