Relaxation Massage
When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, our Massage Therapists can provide a therapeutic treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow, depending on what your body needs.
We treat the whole body at The Body Balance Company. Our massage therapy traces your aches and pains back to the original cause, so that we treat more than just your symptoms. We want to provide support so that your body can heal.
Massage therapy aims to treat the causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction, using massage and stretching techniques to increase flexibility and joint mobility, boost your body’s ability to start its own healing and repair.
We use massage oils, applied directly to your skin, so that your muscles can be warmed, mobilised and eased. Massage therapy stimulates blood flow and moves lymphatic fluid, supporting the body to eliminate toxins, calming the peripheral nervous system and toning and relaxing muscles. You may find that stiffness and tension is eased, as tissues repair and you feel calmer.
