Massage at The Heeler Centre
Today people are discovering the benefits gained by regular massage or reflexology treatments. Helping to soften tight, stiff, aching, painful muscles. Relaxing mind, body and spirit. Balancing the whole body and restoring equilibrium in your life.
Massage and Reflexology are ancient healing arts dating back thousands of years. But with the many different types of massage available today it can be difficult to choose what is right for you.
Our bodies are altering every minute of every day, our physical is influenced by our thoughts and because you are unique our therapists will discuss and take into consideration your individual requirements and plan a treatment for you.
We may use a combination of hot stones, heat bags, stretching, pressure, deep, firm, gentle or still techniques and movements. Helping ease away knot's, tightness and tension held in the muscles and connective tissue that have caused pain, discomfort or stress.
During the massage, tight and knotted muscles are warmed, stimulating the nervous and immune system, blood circulation, bring more oxygen into the blood stream, aiding toxin elimination via the lymphatic system. This in turn utilizes and assists the body's natural healing ability to function correctly bringing an overall sense of well being. When the physical body is relaxed this can have a profound effect on the psychological body.
Get in touch with your body and experience the amazing benefits of Massage & Reflexology.
