By applying firm but gentle pressure across your body, the massage therapist warms the muscle tissue thereby helping to eliminate knots and release tension.
Muscle Release Massage
Our Muscle Release massage begins with a warm, aroma-infused, sugar scrub, followed by a therapeutic bath containing botanical ‘actives’ to ease the discomfort of muscle spasms, arthritis, rheumatism and fatigue. Next, a firm, yet soothing, back and shoulder massage enhances blood circulation, followed by an anti-inflammatory cooling gel before your whole body is cocooned. After a relaxing scalp massage, the treatment concludes with a moisturising lotion leaving you feeling invigorated.
Manual Lymph Drainage Massage
Designed to manually stimulate the normal detoxification function of the body’s lymphatic system, this treatment improves oedema (fluid retention) as well as providing post-operative encouragement of the natural healing processes. By using gentle, specialised pumping techniques, the therapist moves your skin in the direction of the lymph flow, thereby optimising the process by which lymphatic vessels mobilise substances that are vital to your body’s immune system as well as removing waste products.
African Wood Massage
With this unique indigenous massage, first your feet are cleansed, then your limbs receive gentle, passive stretching adapted specifically to your individual capacity to release tension and to enhance the range of motion of your joints. A warm avocado infused olive and shea butter ointment is then drizzled over your body, followed by a deep massage to promote muscle relaxation while the soft butter nourishes and moisturises dry skin. Harmonious sounds from handmade wooden instruments further enhance the relaxing effect.
Hot Stone Massage
This unique massage both relaxes and relieves tense and sore muscles. The effect of the heat-retaining properties of smooth, volcanic stones are placed at strategic points along the surface of your back is to bring blood to areas that may be difficult to reach with hands. The overall result is deeply soothing and therapeutic if you experience chronic discomfort or pain.
Relaxing Scalp Massage
This soothing massage is ideal for releasing neck or scalp tension that may contribute to headaches and migraines. A stimulating hair tonic is applied using pressure point movements to enhance the condition of the scalp and stimulate your hair follicles. This is followed by a head massage using conditioning hair oil. A protein hair mask is finally applied, leaving your hair silky, soft and shining.
Back, Neck and Shoulders Massage
If you carry tension in your back, neck and shoulders, and you require a quick release from discomfort or pain, this deeply relaxing massage therapy concentrates on those specific muscles. Pressure is applied along both sides of your spine and lower back, moving gradually up towards your shoulders and neck, thereby relieving the painful effects of stress and tension.
Bellabaci Massage
A modified version of an ancient cupping technique, Bellabaci utilises medical-grade silicone cups which, when squeezed by hand, create a vacuum against your skin. The cups are placed in strategic positions to provide a slow suction effect that is gentle and soothing while stimulating the detoxification process. Connective tissue is also mobilised, helping to reduce scarring by enhancing blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin. The supply of additional nutrients and oxygen improves cell metabolism, providing long-term antiageing benefits as well.
