Fancy a different kind of Massage? How about a Hot Stones Massage?

Hot Stones Massage

 

You may have heard of Hot Stones Massage before, but what sets it apart from other types of Massage and makes it so unique?

 

Hot Stones Massage is a form of massage therapy which involves placing a number of smooth, flat, heated stones to the body to aid with pain relief, relaxation and therapy.

 

During the massage the stones are placed on key acupressure points on your body. The stones warm and relax your muscles, allowing deeper pressure to be applied during your massage. They may be placed along your spine, stomach, chest, on your face, your palms, your feet and your toes. We will hold the stones as we massage your body using Swedish Massage techniques such as long strokes, circular movements, vibration, tapping and kneading.

 

At times, we may also use cold stones after hot stones to calm any engorged blood vessels and to soothe the skin.

 

Benefits of Hot Stones Massage

 

What our clients say about our Hot Stones Massage

“Just had my first massage with Tracy, which was amazing. I’ve never had Hot Stones before and what a great experience. My knots melted away. Tracy applied the perfect amount of pressure and I have left feeling really relaxed and definitely much less tense. I will definitely be returning. Thanks Tracy!”

Our Sunday spotlight for this fortnight is looking into what is reflexology and what benefits can you enjoy from enjoying this treatment.

What is Reflexology? 

Reflexology is a treatment based on the principle that there are areas and points on the feet, hands, and ears that are connected through the nervous system to corresponding parts of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas and points it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels and helps to restore balance in the body.

It is hard to imagine, but there are approximately 7,000 nerve endings in the human foot and each of them are a reflex point that corresponds to a body part. Reflexologists use special finger and thumb manipulations to stimulate these points and they know exactly which area of the foot corresponds to which body part.Foot Reflexology Chart

Cupping is becoming more used in Britain it maybe a new trend that is about, However cupping has been around since 1500bc and is in one of the oldest medical journals The Ebers Papyrus

Why have I started doing this treatment?

I first started to learn about this treatment over 3 years ago I have been practicing it on real patients that come into the college based in London and with different complaints. In this time it was my duty to access how the patients was feeling? what the conditions where? How they felt during?any discomfort? etc

what where the benefits of this treatment?

actual benefits of this treatment?

you mention bruises after the treatment ouch sounds painful, is it?

No is the answer remember when you where growing up you might have got a love bite they was not painful neither is cupping marks left on your skin. It is usually the fact that internal toxins pulled up to the skin

in ancient terms it means 

Skin mark is usually round red to purple in color. ... Purplish red cupping mark means severe damp heat. Red cupping mark signifies severe heat. Bluish purple cupping mark indicates severe cold dampness. Cupping mark with dark color means exuberance of the pathogenic qi, a life force

The bruises will go within a week

Is cupping safe?

A full consultation would be carried out like with other treatments, However this treatment you can use unlike some contraindications in Massage and High blood pressure is one of them but yet in Cupping it is  actually the best treatment for people with these conditions

How Many sessions would I need?

Like with Massage it does depend on the complainant you would  notice a difference after the first treatment If you was suffering from chronic long term problems, Like I would say with massage you would need to have weekly sessions at the beginning for approx 10-20 times but no longer wait then two weeks

It is always good practice once you have started to notice you feel better to maintain good health care through massage once every fortnight This stops the knots from forming and your body stands a better chance of healing though regular treatment.

What are the types of cupping do you use?

I use silicone cupping that is done with a manual pump I also use glass cupping where it is dunked in surgical spirit on a cotton ball and flamed into the glass to add suction to the skin

You crazy will I get burned from the heat?

No because I am fully trained and qualified

How much is Cupping?

At A Healing Touch it is £50 but you will get a 1 hour treatment as well as 15 Minutes with the cups on your body or if having the facial rejuvenation less then a few seconds however you will still get a 1 hour and 15 minute treatment

Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful, glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Indian Head MassageWhat is Indian head massage?

Indian Head Massage is an ancient therapeutic treatment that has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Part of the Hindu health care practice of Ayurveda, Indian Head Massage focuses on your head, neck and shoulders and was originally used to improve scalp and hair condition. It is a deep massage, using a variety of pressure and techniques, including circular massage strokes on your scalp, deep tissue work on your shoulders, and stretching the neck.

This form of massage focuses on the three higher "chakras" - mind, body and spirit. It won't just relax you, it will make you feel detached and serene but also alert and clear-headed, alleviating brain-fog and stress.

What to expect.

A Healing Touch will chat with you beforehand to get an idea of your lifestyle, any particular aches, pains or ailments you have. She may ask you if you are having any medical treatments or taking medicines, as this might affect which oils she uses, and what type of pressure and technique. Be prepared for the fact that some of the massage will be quite firm - it can be quite an odd sensation to have your skull massaged but stick with it. The results are worth it!!!

What is bamboo massage therapy?

Bamboo Massage therapy is one of the lesser-known forms of therapeutic massage. However, this massage therapy may very well rival the health benefits of therapeutic massages such as deep tissue massages and trigger point massages.

It is essentially the same as deep tissue massage or Swedish massage. However, rather than the therapist simply using their hands to warm the muscles and reduce pain in the ligaments and joints, the therapist uses a roll of heated bamboo.What is Bamboo Massage?

The heated bamboo is kneaded into the tissue just as the therapist would use their fingers. Yet the bamboo allows the therapist to knead deeper and firmer than they would be able to with only their hands. The length and width of the bamboo used can change depending on the detail necessary for accurate gliding strokes.

Benefits of Bamboo Massage. 

This therapy utilizes the technique of deep tissue massage, but with a firmer and more extensive technique to reach knots formed by lactic acid and other tension-causing wastes. However, it can also do more for you than improve your mobility and reduce pain. Other benefits include:

Are you a mum to be?
Are you a mum to be?

Here are few reasons why you should book a pregnancy massage with A Healing Touch:

🧖‍♀️Relieves muscle and joint pains. In a 2010 study, it was found that pregnant women who received massage therapy for about 20 minutes per week for 5 weeks experienced relief from upper and lower back pains, leg cramps and hip joint pains that are commonly experienced during pregnancy.

🧖‍♀️Boosts immunity for mother and baby. Massage improves blood circulation, which enables oxygen and nutrients to be distributed throughout the body, while toxins are flushed away. For pregnant women, this means both mother and fetus receive nutrients needed for health, while the immune system is strengthened.

🧖‍♀️Helps maintain good posture. During pregnancy, your body changes alignment. Whether it’s a small or a huge baby bump, the extra weight from the baby changes your centre of gravity.

🧖‍♀️ Regular massage increases muscle flexibility, which can enhance your posture and overall ability to carry that additional weight while keeping your legs and back strong.

🧖‍♀️Improves relaxation and sleeping habits. You know one of those ‘happy hormones’, endorphins? During pregnancy massage, the body releases endorphins that help the mother stay relaxed and at ease. This is also linked to better sleep quality, which is important for both mum and baby.

🧖‍♀️Lowers likelihood of prematurity. Stress is a big no-no for pregnant women, because when the stress hormone cortisol is released, it could give a signal to birth the baby even when it’s not yet full term.

Book with us at : http://bit.ly/ahealingtouchgatwick.  We are also able to offer postnatal massages, so take advantage of one of our packages and get some massages booked in for after the little ones arrival.
