We understand that choosing the perfect gift for your loved one can be a tricky task, but you can’t go wrong with a relaxing Valentine’s Day Massage! We have a wonderful range of treatments available and to help you along the way, we’ve rounded up our top recommendations…
Our Top Five Valentine’s Day Massage Recommendations:
Deep Tissue Massage
If your loved one suffers from niggling knots or muscle discomfort, a Deep Tissue Massage can help alleviate tension. This is achieved by applying pressure to the muscles, to break down scar tissue and improve blood circulation. Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage include:
- Stress relief
- Pain reduction & management
- Lower blood pressure & increased circulation
- Improved movement & flexibility
Sports Massage
If you have a particularly sporty partner this is the ideal massage choice. This is because Sports Massages are brilliant at relieving pain and muscle tension caused by physical activity. We are taught that leading a sporty lifestyle is beneficial (which is true!), however, it can also cause soft tissue damage. By receiving regular Sports Massages, recovery time can significantly reduce and future injuries can be prevented. Benefits of a Sports Massage include:
- Increased flexibility & range of movement
- Reduced muscle tension
- Increased sense of wellbeing
- Reduced injury recovery time
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massages are much more gentle than Deep Tissue and Sports Massage treatments. They focus more on relaxation and well-being, which makes them the perfect self-care remedy. This is the most common type of massage and works to relieve unwanted muscle tension. Benefits of a Swedish Massage include:
- Improved sleep
- Reduced stress
- Increased range of movement
- Increased blood circulation
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage treatment uses hot basalt stones to enhance muscle relaxation. The hot basalt stones warm the muscles, which allows additional pressure to be applied. Cool marble stones are also used and the purpose of these is to balance temperate and reduce inflammation. The use of these different stones combined ensures the client can enjoy a balanced and revitalising treatment. Benefits of a Hot Stone Massage include:
- Improved sleep
- Relief from pain & tension
- Reduced stress & anxiety levels
- Management technique for chronic pain
This is the perfect treat and will allow your loved one to experience a sense of total tranquillity.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy Massage uses a blend of essential oils to treat different issues – e.g., stress, depression or even skin conditions. The oil used will vary depending on each client and their specific needs. Due to the different possibilities of this treatment it can often feel more personal, special and a real treat. Benefits of an Aromatherapy Massage include:
- Enhanced mental wellbeing
- Reduced pain & inflammation
- Reduced stress & anxiety levels
- Increased relaxation & calmness
