What does it involve?
The technique involves massage of the face, head, shoulders, arms, neck
and upper back. It is carried out in a seated position and can be given
through light clothing, or directly on the skin using oils.
Please wear loose clothing and remove any facial make-up.
Who is it suitable for?
Most people, but if you are unable to sit comfortably for 30-45 minutes
then it may not be the most appropriate choice for you.
Certain people do not like areas of their face or head being worked on
and, if this applies to you, don't worry, we will just avoid that area.
You will not be asked to remove any clothing if you don't wish to, but
please ensure you are wearing a lightweight top.
What are the benefits?
The possible benefits of this treatment are:
- Improved circulation - bringing nutrients to the skin and muscles and
removing toxins. (This can reduce joint stiffness, enhance mobility and
reduce fatigue).
- Stimulates lymphatic drainage.
- Relieves sinusitis and nasal congestion.
- Eases muscle tension.
- Loosens the scalp - promoting healthier hair.
- Helps reduce eye strain, eye ache and fatigue.
- Lessens headaches - if tension is the cause.
- Relaxation and stress relief.

Do I need to see my doctor before treatment?
Normally no. If you are unsure whether you may need to, speak to Sue before
booking your initial appointment. Some medical conditions such as epilepsy
and very high or low blood pressure may require GP approval first. If you
have any contagious skin conditions, blistered or badly sun burnt skin, the
treatment will not be given.
Costs: £21 per treatment (lasting 30 minutes)
