massage

"The physician must be experienced in many things, but assuredly in rubbing." Hippocrates 460BC.

There are over eighty different recognised massage modalities. At Natural Healing Clinic we offer a selection of the most popular.

Massage involves hands on manipulation of the body tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissues, as well as lymphatic vessels, or the abdomen. Having your body worked on relaxes tensions, improves the flow of blood and lymph, and in turn facilitates the body's natural ability to find health and heal itself.

• Table Massage
- usually involving oil on bare skin, table massage includes therapeutic, sports, remedial, hot stones, slavic and aromatherapy.
• Floor level massage - done on a thick futon mattress this is ideal for traditional thai massage (fully clothed) and can also be used for oil massages; therapeutic, sports and remedial. Gill Webster is the only therapist who uses the futon mattress.
• Seated massage - the best position for Indian Head Massage or as an alternative position for a short back neck and shoulder massage on clients who cannot lie horizontally.
